I had the privilege of getting to check out the new venue being built by the guys over at Union Hall yesterday. As you can see from the above photograph, it's a huge space which will surely bring some big name acts to the Gowanus. Located on 7th street between 2nd and 3rd avenues, it's convenient to the R/M and F trains as well as the super reliable G train at Smith and 9th. Construction is moving quickly and they are hoping to open by early September -- and you can be sure that they will be enforcing a strict no stroller policy at the door.
