Public Records
New York
Public Records is a music and cultural venue at 233 Butler Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn, in the former ASPCA headquarters. The campus brings together several different spaces, including the Sound Room, the Atrium, Upstairs and the outdoor Nursery, alongside food and drink operations. Sound and listening are central to the operator's description of the project. The programme moves between DJ-led club nights, live performances and other cultural events. House music is a recurring part of the calendar, while different rooms can carry different artists on the same date. A visit to a listening lounge, a live show and a full club night therefore need not involve the same ticket or musical experience, even though they belong to the same campus. Use the event's room designation when making plans. The website's general opening table also covers non-club activity and does not consistently describe late parties, so check the named event for doors, duration and admission before heading to Butler Street.
