  A screening of HOLES with drinking games, prizes, and maybe even trivia at Pine Box.

Pine Box Rock Shop is a big, easygoing bar and events space in a former casket factory, which tells you most of what you need to know about Bushwick in one sentence. It is roomy, vegan-friendly, and busy with a rotating schedule of live music, trivia, movie nights, and one-off events, which makes it a dependable pick when you want something happening without a cover charge or a dress code.

What it is

Set on Grattan Street near the Morgan Avenue L, Pine Box is part craft-beer bar, part performance room. There is a long bar, a back space for shows, and a kitchen that leans vegan. It draws a mixed, unpretentious crowd, which is part of why it works for so many occasions.

Shows and events

The back room hosts live bands, DJ nights, comedy, trivia, and themed movie screenings, often free or cheap. The lineup changes week to week, so it rewards checking ahead, but on any given night there is usually something on.

The vibe

This is a hang-out bar first, which means you can show up with a group, grab a table, and stay a while whether or not there is an event. Prices are reasonable by NYC standards and the room is big enough that it rarely feels impossible to get a drink.

Getting there

It is a short walk from the Morgan Avenue L in the industrial stretch of Bushwick. For more rooms like it, see our guide to live music in Bushwick and things to do in Bushwick.
