A Ridgewood warehouse-and-garden club run by NYC DJs Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter, known for its no-phone indoor listening room and open-format house/techno/disco bookings.
Open-format bookings that lean house, techno and disco — Nowadays doesn't run a single-genre policy, so the specific night and room matter. The hours above cover the outdoor garden; the indoor **Indoors** room — a 5,000-sq-ft warehouse space with a strict no-phone policy for uninterrupted listening — runs on its own, later schedule: Thursdays vary by event, Fridays from 10pm until the party ends (usually around 6am), and Saturdays turn into one continuous session from 10pm straight through to 10pm Sunday. The venue's resident roster of about 20 DJs includes Aurora Halal, Eamon Harkin, Justin Carter, Theo Parrish and Avalon Emerson, among others.
- DOOR
- Security screening and coat check are standard at the door. The indoor Indoors room enforces a strict no-phone policy once you're inside, so put phones away before entering that space. Age policy varies by event — don't assume a blanket 18+ or 21+ rule; the specific Resident Advisor listing always states it.
- DRESS
- Casual. No official dress code is published on the venue's own site or corroborated third-party listings beyond that it's a casual venue.
- PHOTO
- Assume no photos on the floor — many clubs cover phone cameras.typical
- AGE
- No single fixed rule — sources conflict (some nights run 18+, others 21+; the outdoor garden also hosts daytime all-ages hours). Always check the age listing on the specific Resident Advisor event page before buying a ticket.
- CASH
- Around $25 typically, per the venue itself — but covers vary by event, and third-party listings show a wider $10–40+ range, so check the specific RA listing before you go. · cash / credit_card
- GETTING IN
- Buy tickets through Nowadays' Resident Advisor listing (ra.co/clubs/105873) rather than counting on a walk-up door. The outdoor garden is free to enter most days, but Sunday's long-running "Mister Sunday" party is ticketed. If cost is a barrier, the venue's own site says to email hello@nowadays.nyc a few days ahead to ask about a financial-hardship accommodation. Nearest transit is the Halsey St L station, about a 6-minute walk; Myrtle–Wyckoff Avenues (L/M) also works but is roughly a 15-minute walk.
