Union Pool

Bar-venue in Williamsburg with a backyard vibe. Live bands, DJ sets and record-release parties most nights. Soul, funk and gospel shows share the bill with punk, indie and club nights. Small room, tight sound and a crowd that comes to dance or hang at the bar. Check the calendar, there's always something unexpected.

Union Pool is a compact live spot and bar where backyard hangs meet late-night shows. The room fits intimate bands and sweaty DJ sets, and the outdoor area is for beers between sets. Expect record releases, gospel nights, punk bills and summer funk bills like Joe Bataan. The programming mixes neighborhood regulars and touring acts, with lots of DJ-driven parties and occasional choirs. It sits in Williamsburg, easy to reach by subway. Come casual, follow the listings and be ready for a varied, lively night.
