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.

Finally made it, always wanted to visit here! And came to friend’s birthday. Super chill and super layback ! It’s like a house party at your own backyard. Lovely vibes and great music!

The Lot Radio: Brooklyn's Best Vibe ​The Lot Radio is more than just a place to grab a drink; it's a truly unique New York institution built on raw industrial charm and great music. Situated on a triangular wedge of asphalt in Greenpoint, this outdoor bar perfectly embodies Brooklyn's effortlessly cool aesthetic and provides an exceptional setting for chilling out. ​The design itself is highly distinctive, with the entire operation—from the efficient bar to the snack counter—housed inside converted shipping containers. This utilitarian, sleek look sets a refreshingly casual tone. The real star, however, is the expansive outdoor space and its centerpiece: the live DJ booth, which broadcasts eclectic, high-quality music sets throughout the day. ​This setup ensures the atmosphere is consistently vibrant but relaxed. It feels less like a traditional bar and more like an impromptu, low-key block party, drawing a friendly and diverse crowd. Whether you’re settling in for a couple of hours with a cold beer or stopping by for a quick coffee while enjoying the top-tier sounds, The Lot Radio delivers a memorable, welcoming experience. It is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates unique venue design and a killer soundtrack. Outdoor port a potties available as well

Always great to drop in for a couple of afternoon beers and listen to some music. It's a small space but has tables outside too. Drinks are very reasonably priced and the line moves quickly. It's so great to see internationally acclaimed artists play at the lot. The YouTube channel & app are on constantly in our house.

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).

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.

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

Unique vibe. Relaxed, dogs allowed,good music.

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.
