Info
Greenpoint Terminal is a notable nightclub and event space located in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City, United States. The venue derives its name from its location on the historic Greenpoint Terminal Market site, a collection of warehouses along the East River that have long been emblematic of Brooklyn’s industrial past. Originally built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a shipping and manufacturing hub, the terminal fell into semi-abandonment by the end of the 20th century.
In the late 2010s, it was progressively revitalized and adapted to host a range of cultural events, including nightlife, concerts, and art installations. Greenpoint Terminal’s transformation from industrial relic to cultural hotspot underscores Brooklyn’s broader trend of adaptive reuse and the creative reimagining of urban spaces. Greenpoint Terminal quickly cemented its reputation for hosting large-scale, open-air raves, techno parties, experimental music festivals, and immersive art experiences.
Its sprawling waterfront grounds, panoramic Manhattan skyline views, and raw aesthetic have contributed to its allure within New York’s underground scene. The venue has also garnered cultural significance as one of the few places capable of supporting massive warehouse-style gatherings, reminiscent of New York’s legendary party era of the 1990s. Over time, parts of the complex were renovated for safety, but the owners have strived to retain the industrial feel that makes the venue unique, leaning into exposed brickwork, wide-open spaces, and minimal intervention.
Although the precise boundaries of the event space sometimes shift due to ongoing redevelopment in the Greenpoint area, Greenpoint Terminal has remained a mainstay for innovative nightlife, holding festivals, pop-ups, and seasonal events that attract both locals and visitors. Greenpoint Terminal has hosted a diverse array of notable artists from both the international and local electronic music scene. Renowned performers who have taken the stage include Charlotte de Witte, Carl Craig, Nina Kraviz, The Blessed Madonna, Honey Dijon, and Jeff Mills.
The venue has also provided a platform for rising stars and local favorites such as Umfang, AceMoMA, DJ Swisha, and Volvox, solidifying its role as a dynamic hub at the intersection of global talent and Brooklyn’s thriving creative community.
