We’ve been hearing rumblings for a number of months that yet another performance venue is in the offing for Gowanus. And so it is: Workers have been clearing out the ground-floor space of a warehouse on DeGraw Street between 3rd and 4th avenues for the past few weeks, and DOB filings for the spot say it’s going to be a “drinking and dancing establishment.” According to a couple of sources, some of the people involved with the venture have worked for the Virgin Festival. The inside of the building (click through to view) still looks pretty raw, so we’re guessing this is at least a few months away from becoming a reality. Gowanus already have one performance space in The Yard and both a club from the Save the Robots folks and a new venue from the Union Hall people coming to 7th Street. GMAP DOB
Update: A commenter points out that we forgot to mention Issue Project Room, which puts on shows at the Old American Can Factory on 3rd and 3rd, on the list of Gowanus venues. Our bad.
