Overview

Short-lived but mythologized Williamsburg DIY warehouse, often cited as the heart of the early-2010s scene.

285 Kent was a DIY warehouse venue often cited as the emotional center of the early-2010s Williamsburg scene before waterfront development. It is remembered for sweaty, all-ages-leaning shows and a sense of a moment passing. It closed in 2014 alongside several neighboring spaces.
