Oh My Rockness: Union Hall Expanding in Gowanus

    Turns out the buzz about some of the investors in Union Hall opening a new venue on 3rd Ave. and 7th St. is spot on. A Union Hall employee confirmed that the rumors were true yesterday. The venue is going to be spread over three levels, and the basement is mostly going to be given over to a bar according to one of the contractors working on the building. Seems like it’ll be another great addition to what’s already happening on 3rd Avenue. Update: Whoops! We were a little off the mark here—per Brooklyn Vegan (who got the update from the owners), the venue’s half a block away, on 7th between 2nd and 3rd. The photo above is the actual space, and it’s only going to be one level. Interestingly, though, the space we originally ID’d (see pic on jump), is also being turned into a club, though we don’t know its provenance.
