The Lot Radio

The Lot Radio is one of my favorite places in Brooklyn for live music and DJ culture. I was first invited out through my street photography work, and it lined up with an HD and Friends residency set featuring DJ Janesita (Instagram: @_lajanesita) back in August ‘23. I’ve been a few times since. Usually reserved for Chicagoland’s Radio Muévelo Sunday programming, Janesita brought her fun blend of Latin house and juke to Brooklyn for a special set. It was her first time recording a blend like that live. I got to experience the place from the inside out, thanks to the chance to shoot inside the booth during her set. Afterward, we hung out at the picnic tables with HD, Janesita, a few fans, and new friends. It was a warm summer day, and the energy around the station felt real and easy as the sun was setting. The Lot Radio is always worth checking out. Whether for work or just hanging out, I’d love to come back and bring friends next time. Big thanks again to Janesita and the crew for a great day.

It felt like a little pocket of France in Brooklyn, almost transported in the 10th arrondissement of Paris for an evening. Great spot (just don’t go to the bathroom and you’ll love it).

This is a very nice place to have network meetings and breakfast in the mornings hours from 10 am until drinks are priced like New york. Love the Youtube play button, and they do have over 100,000 subscribers on their youtube channel, as this LOT radio is one of New york hot spots in greenpoint, brooklyn. There are so many people that visit some come first and get a table fast. Do not talk to three young black men who are walking about scamming people with a basketball scam. They do not work or affiliate with any educational program in New york as the NYC school district or the department. The scam is in the news label as (Sport scam) Michael Bisogna from the investigation and chief investigator was updated on their continue to harass people as customers are having food and drinks at lot radio. Be Aware. As someone working for the city, I have knowledge and connections to contact the correct channels. As professional press credentials holder of the city of New York City. Other than that, bathrooms are located inside, and yes, they are portable bathrooms 🚻 You are allowed to bring outside food, as you can see from video and photos

Welcome back, Lot Radio! We missed you! The perfect place for world class music, casual drinks and vibes.

independent online radio streaming daily ran by a lovely bunch of people. was a joy to play there and watch the sun set over brooklyn. there’s a little courtyard / lot where people can hang & get drinks but was closed when I was there.

The kiosk/bar area is not open as of Mid March '25. Seems like they may be in permit hell with the city regarding the bar here. You can still come listen to music on the benches outside tho!

This place is the best. The music was phenomenal, wine was lovely, and just a unique space to hang out in. Hope to come back once it gets a little warmer!

Cool spot to listen to music and have a beer , don’t use the bathroom though 🤣

Pretty basic patio area to sit at and have a few drinks. They don't have any liquor, only a few small, unique beers and seltzers. Price was normal, like $6-$8 a drink.

Walked and biked past this place a lot and instantly liked it, because it sort of reminded me of Mud Park in the Lower East Side. The bf and I stopped here after dinner last night. It's very casual and relaxed, people sit on random benches, chairs, and even plastic crates. The music was nice and grungy and our IPAs were cold. What more can you ask for a Wednesday night?? I'm so happy this place is open for phase 2, will definitely go back! Ps. It's dog friendly and bike friendly!

Doesn't look like much when you go by but it's a sliver of land, fenced off and turned into a makeshift bar. The drinks are all beer or wine. It's all outdoors which makes it perfect for a nice summer evening but can be BRUTAL in the heat or rain. The best part of the whole place is the DJ booth. There is a small ?trailer? With a DJ set up and great people come out to play! The place is dog friendly which is a huge plus. It's perfect to grab a beer, listen to some music and just chill.

Nice outside bar. They have indoor seating too. The bar has a DJ playing tunes all night. They need more heating lamps outside because there is only 1 table outside with heating lamps.
