About Output
City music freaks have been talking about a new club in Williamsburg since this summer. Of course, at that time it had no name, and was only described in details. The word was that the club would be large (a 452-person capacity is big by NYC standards) and music/sound oriented — no bottles, no doormen, no nonsense.
There would be no fist pumping either. Electro yes, fist pumping no.
After months of waiting, Output finally opened its doors this weekend.
The club sits on Wythe Avenue next to another monument to Williamsburg's ascendancy, the Wythe Hotel. On Saturday night, when the wisest partiers showed up to stand in line at an ungodly hour (10:30?!!!? No one goes out in NYC til 12:00), it seemed like that one block's transformation was complete. Output showed that Williamsburg was no longer an outpost.
In a word, the place was loud — loud because of an incredible sound system in an incredible space, loud because of the insane lights, and loud because what was billed as a $30 party ended up being free with an open bar that lasted all night long.
It may have seemed even louder because everything was new and the ceilings were high. From the second floor looking down, everyone on the dance floor looked like a swarm of moths fluttering toward the flaming wall of light behind the DJ booth.
There was no hassle at the door. This is an important thing to many New Yorkers, and this is what many of them have been waiting to see at a proper, large-scale club. Before the financial crisis hit and every kind of discretionary spending in town was squeezed, doors were everything. Either look fabulous or buy a bottle, those were a party-goer's choices. All that mattered to many clubs, was paying Manhattan rents and playing music that everyone liked. Club goers had shown up, after all, mostly to be seen.
You do not go to Output to be seen. You go to dance. Some of New York's nightlife scene moved that way during the recession when everything went bust, and that's how many people want it to stay.
Output Review By Freddy V.: Brooklyn, NY
"H, How I only wish this place was around during my crazy club nights back in the day of Sound Factory, Twilo, Exit, and Tunnel. I use to be a huge club goer back in the late 90's and early 2000's. I would hear the best DJ's in the world perform in the above mentioned clubs. I've even been to Ibiza to add to my resume.
I have many reasons why I enjoyed my time in Output. First of all they were playing Underground House Music with some Vocal performances on a Saturday Night. The sound system was amazing. I didn't leave the club with my ears ringing even when sitting by the bass. Very Good Sign! Second, the place was huge. I'm a big fan of options! I came with a party of 8 and had set up shop upstairs where we occupied an area to sit down and always come back to when wondering around. There was no bottle service minimum, no crowding pushing around for space, no fights, no bitchy attitude, no nonsense. Everyone came to listen to the music and just chill for an enjoyable night. I met many European travelers and many friendly patrons along the way.
They have a huge roof top for cigarette breaks. A separate room playing different music. Basically this was a 2 floor warehouse where the everyone was dancing in the first floor and those of us that just like to sit, watch, and bop you head a bit upstairs sitting with lots of space available. The bathrooms were super clean and they had many one per person stall's for extra privacy.
I would say the majority of the people were chilling with "Molly" if you know what I mean. "Molly" likes the underground house music and other folks chilling with "Molly". To bad I'm to old to be friends with her but did enjoy peoples conversation while they were hanging out with her.
5**** for MUSIC, OPTIONAL ROOMS & SPACE, FRIENDLY PEOPLE, ROOF TOP, & SEATING for old folks like me.
Thank You for reliving my 20's!"
