  House of Yes · $36

  House of Yes's legendary sideshow church returns after two and a half years of poetic clowns, sinful acrobats, and glorious chaos.

House of Yes is the closest thing Bushwick has to a mission statement with a liquor license. Part nightclub, part circus, part fever dream, it is a warehouse on Wyckoff Avenue where aerialists hang from the ceiling, the dance floor runs late, and the crowd tends to try harder than you expected. If you only do one big night out in Bushwick, a lot of people would tell you to do it here.

What it is

Housed in a converted space steps from the Jefferson Street L, House of Yes is a performance venue and dance club rolled into one. Expect circus and aerial acts, burlesque, live music, DJs, and immersive themed parties that change constantly. The programming swings from disco to techno to variety shows, so no two nights look alike.

The parties and nights

The calendar is the point. Themed dance parties, holiday spectaculars, drag and burlesque revues, and one-off collaborations fill most weekends, and midweek there are often shows and classes too. Costumes are encouraged, sometimes expected, and the regulars go all in.

Dress code and vibe

House of Yes runs a dress-to-express door and a firm consent policy. Effort is rewarded, phones-in-your-face behavior is not, and the vibe is friendlier than a velvet-rope club. Read the event page before you go so you match the theme.

Getting in

Most nights sell tickets in advance and the good ones sell out, so buying ahead beats gambling on the door. It sits right by the Jefferson Street L, which makes getting home easy. For more places like it, see our guide to Bushwick nightlife and live music in Bushwick.
