By submitting the above I agree to the privacy culture and terms of use of JTA. The new Jewish-owned club, inspired by the late-night Tel Aviv scene, has already become a fixture of Brooklyn nightlife. It was 1 a. You turn the entire night into an experience. We want to do that. Some of the biggest night club venues in Brooklyn can hold thousands of people.

Silo, by contrast, holds onlywhich carries a more intimate feel. The club is located on the eastern fringes of Williamsburg inside an repurposed airplane hangar, and its high ceiling provides an open, airy atmosphere to what would otherwise feel like a tightly packed room.

An aerialist performs while club above the crowd at Silo in Brooklyn. A massive two-sided mural, which separates the main club gay from the bar area, was created by the Israeli artist Yoshi. The striking mural is a piece that seems to change after a guest consumes a few drinks while the music plays. The mural portrays a seemingly endless array of black smoke or fire — gray clouds with some white streaks nyc electricity in the middle of it — but Neuhausen said it is open to interpretation.

If a bar mitzvah party is a familial, albeit sometimes corny celebration that involves dancing with your loved ones, then it shares a great deal with the ethos of Silo — namely, to provide a place to party all night long while maintaining a welcoming feeling. At Silo on a Saturday earlier this month, the vibe was almost the complete opposite.

The attendees were not just Instagram models; college students, queer folks dressed in drag and somethings were also in the mix. InNeuhausen formed a band with Wolfson and they moved from San Francisco to New York, where Neuhausen took up residence in a garage in Williamsburg. Eventually, he turned the space into a makeshift venue for performances that included bands, comedians, aerialists and eventually DJs.

That was really the dream. Those parties ultimately became too big for the space. Wanting to be closer to the booming club scene in Brooklyn, the team eventually opened Silo, which is located next to the established megaclub Avant Gardner. We book elite level talent, but we want everyone to see it.
