Pacha is one of the most recognizable names in clubbing, and this summer New York finally got its own taste of it when Pacha New York opened its open-air venue. Now the brand is heading indoors for the winter. Brooklyn Pacha officially opens on the weekend of November 6 and 7, giving the city a Pacha it can dance in no matter the season, and the two opening nights are stacked from top to bottom. The new club lives inside the former Great Hall, a room plenty of New Yorkers already have memories of. Pacha has given it a full makeover, bringing in a new sound and lighting setup while holding on to the gritty, warehouse feel that Brooklyn’s underground scene has always been known for. The goal with the space is to shrink the gap between the booth and the crowd, putting the focus squarely on the music and the people dancing to it. Friday, November 6 gets the party started with three artists who each come at dance music from a different angle.
