Shea Stadium BK

Shea Stadium BK


20 Meadow St. (btw Waterbury & Bogart)
Brooklyn, NY 11206
no phone


Bathroom situation
- there are 2 to your left as you enter, one on either side of the soundboard area. Yep yep, that photo above is from the one closest to the door. Visceralist really does this for the people, you guys.
Takes credit cards? - so, this place isnt actually what youd call "legit" so dont expect to bro your way up in here with your fancy BofA Visa, playboy. Note also that there arent really any ATMs nearby, so make sure youve got some financial earnins in the left or right pocket of your Jnco jeans before heading over.
Crowded on weekends? - not really. Strictly speaking, this is a venue and they do curate some new hot shit every now and then (peace to Laurel Halo and her overrated hogwash), but its out in Way-the-Fuck, Brooklyn, so whatever.
Seating - a couple sofas that are upholstered in only the finest of pleathers, but everyone knows that catching hepatitis from a damn couch aint cute, so wed recommend avoiding. Its grimey like that.
Neighborhood - ok, fine, Shea Stadium BK isnt too far from the Grand St. L stop, but it still somehow feels like it may as well be in Belarus. Seriously, this hood is best described as hurt, burnt & crunchy.
Pretentious/assholes - every cloud though, right? The folks who actually do make it out here are generally down like gravity and we here at Visceralist have yet to have someone run up on us with some ol bullshit and, in fact, have met some real human beings and some real heroes.
Cost of Stella - they only have cans of bud, bud light & tecate (and a couple bottles of Absolut or somesuch), but theyre only like $3, so it all evens out.
What time people start showing up - 3rd opening act oclock-ish.
Bartender efficiency - the "bar" is essentially a dilapidated fridge stocked with cans of the aforementioned thats guarded by a dude with a coffee can full of $1s. But it works.
Official Website - here. Its professional appearance completely belies the decor of the venue, but thats the world were living in, par.
Food? How late - BYOF.
TVs? Whats on - still surprised that Showtimes "Homeland" has been consistently top-notch throughout its first season and glad that itll be coming back for another. Hasnt been a show this good on that godforsaken channel since the first season of "Dexter."
Guy:girl ratio - this guy for president (of Scotland).
Toys - they have a balcony that looks out on the street directly below the balcony.
Age of clientele - old enough to genuinely appreciate the societal commentary that the creators of "Homeland" are trying to make.
Space for dancing? - plenty, and theyre presumably unencumbered by NYCs cabaret laws out here in Helena, but no one takes advantage. Shame.
Music medium, style & volume - the website features free downloads of recordings of many of the shows held here.
Specials or most popular drink - fucking hate that alcohol is such an effective diuretic.
