StreetLevel: Magnetic Field Saying So Long

magnetic-field-02-2008.JPG
Sad tidings from Brooklyn Heights Blog: Magnetic Field, the popular venue/bar on Atlantic between Henry and Hicks, is going out of business. The bar is slated to close at the end of next month. Magnetic Field has been around since late 2002; according to a manager we spoke to today, they're closing because "it's just time...we've had a good run, but it's done now."

Posted by: Polemicist at February 21, 2008 2:34 PM

Hope a Duane Reade moves in.

Oh no! This is very upsetting news. =( Anyone know another place with live(rock) band karaoke in Brooklyn?

Posted by: MsBrooklyn at February 21, 2008 2:59 PM


I like the name.

Posted by: guest at February 21, 2008 3:00 PM

MsBrooklyn, I think that Hank's Saloon has rock band karaoke, right down the street.

i hope nothing ever happens to montero's.

I have a question...why are their so many nice places to eat in Park Slope but their are very few lounges...like Loki. Why is this?

Posted by: nycityguy9 at February 21, 2008 4:49 PM

Well this is a bummer.

Posted by: pascalpp at February 21, 2008 4:51 PM

Yo jimmy leggs, the owners of Montero's own the building, I dont see them going anywhere (been drinking there since i was 15)

Posted by: lifer at February 21, 2008 5:37 PM

I wouldn;t exactly call the Field "popular"...

Posted by: guest at February 21, 2008 6:32 PM

great! another reason why brooklyn is starting to suck.

hello cleveland!

Posted by: guest at February 21, 2008 6:46 PM

Yes, this is a huge bummer. The managers booked some excellent bands and really helped the local music scene. I've had many an great night there and will miss it in a big way. Apart from Williamsburg, there are not many good music venues in Brooklyn, let alone clubs with actual character! It's really a shame. I cringe to think what will move in there. Dominos? Duane Reade? Starfucks?

This area could use a Chase bank.

Posted by: guest at February 21, 2008 8:50 PM

i hear the magnetic fields spot is going to become a KFC

Posted by: guest at February 21, 2008 11:17 PM

hopefully one of those kfc/taco bell rat infested type of joints!

Posted by: guest at February 22, 2008 12:13 AM

Dick Swizzle lives on!

Posted by: guest at February 22, 2008 12:35 AM

Sad to see them go, but they never seemed to have late night shows past 10 or 11 because of neighbors and noise. Not a cited reason for leaving, but maybe a contributing factor?
