This is a review for Ric's review below. Over all, I found his review to be more than satisfactory, earning it an easy five stars, however one small caveat I'd add is that in the future, I'd like to see a little more flair, and possibly detail. While Ric's review did expertly capture the gestalt of the Alphaville experience, it lacks the verisimilitude of say, one of Tom Wolfe's proto-gonzo journalist-as-participant Facebook reviews, or Gore Vidal at his delightfully haughty, dandyish best during his classic Facebook review period of the early 70s.
All in all, though, a considered and timely entry, deserving of note.
Came for the music, keep returning for the hot Kristen Stewart lookalike bartender with the short hair 😉
Hidden gem of Bushwick! Good beers on tap and a great place to catch a show!
Outstanding venue to hang out or to catch music and events. Thank you Russ and tribe aka A Wonderful And Strange Place for hosting the 25 years in the making Twin Peaks Season Three Premiere. $6 craft beers are just $4 until 9pm and an absolutely outstanding vibe that comes with the transformation of Bushwick. I came 500 miles to hang with great people and hope to do it again. 😊
sometimes you just really need some chicken. this place has chicken. get it with buffalo sauce if you're feeling up to living on the edge or get them regular if you're the type of person that just likes to chill out listening to Dave Matthews.

This place is a good time. Hospitable to the artist and kind of a Berlin warehouse kinda vibe.
The bar was very nice reminded me of the LES rock bars that are long gone, the bartender was friendly the NUGZ were yummy and the venue is perfect for seeing live music in a intimate setting!�
I cannot lie this bar is my home away from home :')
Sometimes you think you like a place on facebook, but you actually just like it in the real world.
So I'm new to the hood, but this place seemed cool. People were smoking cigs outside and the bathrooms were ameeezeeng. I can't wait to see some homegrown brooklyn roots bands. See you later Midwest!!
You know why. Come for the karaoke, stay for the karaoke.
Fantastic little bar that serves good bar food. I also got to see Lustinger perform which made things even better!
Whoa! My friends would not stop raving about the chicken, so I was thrilled to find out about the vegan versions of it!!! I know back in the day, they had good nugz but these are the new kids on the block to beat. Kudos to the new crew here!
They already had my heart with skee ball. ++++ The shows here are always really good and the decor updates are spot on. ++++
I will be coming back a lot more often.
A+ for the new vibes.
B+ cocktails
Keep up the good work!
This bar is pretty nice and there is room to dance, plus a dj booth. The bartenders are good people.
Great space, love the separate band space from the bar. Foods not bad for bar food.
Nice music venue and they get some pretty good acts
The bar, food and staff are great. Came for a show ended up hanging all night for the vibes.
Good to see this venue come back renovated. A venue that employs artists and very artist friendly. The air conditioning is working fine and the stage has a curved feel to it. New Skeeball machines are inside the concert area strangely but that should be fun while the acts are on. Haven't tried food or drink yet. Kinda far from public transportation and parking is extremely hard unless you want to walk a few mins.
great acoustics in the concert venue room. they used sound dampening materials which seem to give the space better acoustics than other venues of a similar size. really nice ambiance with the way they decorated the space.
You used to be offered cocaine from every person in this building. Now they just serve alcohol
Favorite bar in Brooklyn. When my friends move to Bushwick, I take them here. I love the owners and the live music is always great.
Top notch service, vibe is the one, food is phenomenal, drinks are great, get a great lineup of artists, DJ keeps the tunes coming in wave after wave of awesome, and did I say the service is the one you’re looking for?
Great venue. It has a capacity of about 80 people or so, but the setup is nice and cold! The bar staff was very friendly and professional. Would love to come back here for some other shows.
Super chill, laid back, dim-lit bar with the JUICIEST Burgers I've ever had in NY!!! I mean so juicy they squirt when you bite into them! And the fries are good too! Great atmosphere if you're looking to chat and vibe with your date! I'll definitely be back!!!
Nice little music venue (standing room only) with a good beer menu. Food is limited and a little expensive but not unreasonable for the convenience. Worth checking out, especially if there's a decent band here. Happy hour ($2 off) till 9.
This place is stellar for weekday happy hours. It's not too busy so service is fast. The burgers are delicious and the specials are insanely good. Very good draft selection, but I recommend against the chicken nuggets. Awesome bartender!
Had an amazing experience here, went on a Sunday night with a date. The bartender Debra was lovely and very attentive and the kitchen manager Ross is truly the man, we ordered the Nugz following his recommendations; he knows so much and even has a special extra spicy sauce made with peppers grown in his friend backyard. FRESH AF. This venue is awesome, you have different vibes with the bar being very chill and the back being a live music venue with punk/rock music. I’ll be bringing my friends here
This place was really cool, it's an eclectic mix of people. Excellent sound system. Had a great time with my and family. We saw the band McCafferty and Heart Attack Man here, excellent show.
Nice atmosphere, strong drinks, great live music!
