The Good Room Opening to General Public in Greenpoint/Williamsburg Beginning on Thursday

Williamsburg might be home to the kinds of establishment that the alternative music fans at Music Times prefer to head toward but Greenpoint on the north tip of Brooklyn hosts a nice series of dance clubs to compete with Manhattan's larger venues. That neighborhood continues to grow with the addition of Good Room earlier this week.

Perhaps "venue" was the wrong word. Good Room creative director Emily Bachman seems intent on establishing that the establishment is strictly a dance club.

"We see most of the places here in Brooklyn right now as venues," she told Resident Advisor. "We're looking to create a real nightclub experience fused with a Williamsburg/Greenpoint local bar."

You'll have to wait a few days to check out the club for yourself as so far it's only played host to private events. Thursday marks the grand opening for the general public, with another Opening Weekend event on Friday. Performances from DKDS, DJ Spun and the Loose Control Band. Unfortunately we weren't able to get in for The Juan Maclean's formal first performance.

"Ultimately the environment we want is a good place for our friends to call home," Bachman continues. "We've been careful thus far on who we have been booking and who we are inviting in, and we've had a series of 'surprise guest' DJs because we don't want people to worry about who is playing."

The club hasn't quite expanded to full time availability yet but expect that to change in the near future, according to Bachman.
