About Public Records

Public Records is a dynamic, multi-space venue in the heart of Gowanus, Brooklyn. Since opening in April 2019 and expanding in December 2022, it’s grown into a hub for live music, social gatherings, and creative experiences. With dedicated spaces like the Sound Room (holding roughly 200 attendees), Upstairs, Atrium, Cafe Public, The Nursery, a vegan café, a record shop, and a plant nursery, Public Records offers an approachable, no-fuss venue experience—perfect for artists, fans, and friends alike. We’ve got you with secure, straightforward ticket options and all the practical details you need to plan your night.

Located at 233 Butler Street, Public Records blends intimate listening spaces with vibrant social energy. The venue’s proximity to multiple subway lines and walkable access to hotels and good eats makes it a convenient choice for a Brooklyn night out.

Parking is limited at Public Records, as the former on-site lot has been repurposed into The Nursery. There is no traditional on-site parking, so plan for street parking or nearby paid options if you drive. For transit, the venue sits in Gowanus with several transit options within walking distance. Moovit notes 4 Av-9 St (F train) as a close stop, typically a 6–9 minute walk to the venue entrances. Nearby hotels include Union Hotel Brooklyn, Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Brooklyn, Gowanus Inn & Yard, Holiday Inn Express Brooklyn, and EVEN Hotel Brooklyn, all within a short stroll or quick ride. Whether you’re coming for a headline show or an intimate performance, Public Records makes it easy to secure your seats and your night out in Brooklyn.

Explore the individual spaces: The Sound Room (≈200 capacity) for concerts and events, Upstairs Lounge for smaller gatherings, Atrium for open spaces, Cafe Public for vegan fare and coffee, The Nursery with plant vibes, and the in-house record shop. For performers and guests, Public Records provides a welcoming, well-equipped setting with a strong emphasis on community and creativity. For reservations, venue details, or event listings, we’re here to help you find the right night and secure your seats.
