The indoor club, which occupies the former Avant Gardner Great Hall, opened Nov. 6-7 with sets from Loco Dice, Louie Vega & more.
Almost exactly four months after the opening of Pacha New York, the club’s indoor component has officially opened its doors to clubbers.
Brooklyn Pacha celebrated its official opening this past weekend (Nov. 6-7), with a Friday night lineup that included Loco Dice leading a bill that also featured techno producer Ilario Alicante and house artist HoneyLuv. On Saturday, the influential Nervous Records celebrated its 35th anniversary with a party featuring Louie Vega, Oscar G, Anané, Will Automagic of The Carry Nation and Victor Calderone.

Brooklyn Pacha exists inside an 11,175-square-foot warehouse space that was formerly the Great Hall of the Avant Gardner entertainment complex. The complex was taken over by The Pacha Group in early 2026, with the open air Pacha New York opening in July and closing for the season on Nov. 5. Brooklyn Pacha will serve as a space for the fall and winter months, with the upcoming schedule including Miss Monique, Madeon, Luciano and many more into February.
“Brooklyn Pacha gives us a year-round home for the connection we saw on the dance floor during Pacha New York’s first summer,” Aloki Batra, CEO of FIVE Hospitality and The Pacha Group, tells Billboard . “We wanted to bring that energy into an indoor space with its own character, combining state-of-the-art d&b sound with lighting design by the team behind Berghain in Berlin. Every element serves the experience on the dance floor. “With Brooklyn Pacha through the winter and Pacha New York outdoors in the summer, we can develop a deeper relationship with the city and its music community,” Batra continues. “As Pacha approaches its 60th anniversary, this chapter is about carrying that heritage forward while earning our place in New York’s nightlife.”
