House of Yes, the unique and ultra stimulating performance art space that takes going out and entertainment to the next level, kicks off Memorial Day Weekend this Friday night with an incredible four day event lineup.
Described by The New York Times as the New Yorker’s answer “for those raised on the clubs of the 70’s, 80’s and even 90’s,” highlights of the weekend include their Sunday night Summer Sessions dance party with Sander Kleinenberg and the inaugural YES Memorial Day BBQ Pig Roast. Show your love for America by eating copious amounts of meat and then dance it off all day. No cover, just meat & music.
Escape the everyday into this radically beautiful and inspiring venue that puts emphasis on nightlife beyond just DJs. Having just re-opened in its best digs to date by Bushwick’s trendy Jefferson stop at the start of 2016, House of Yes is widely known for its eclectic range of performances that range from aerial, cabaret, circus, fire breathing and theatre art to hosting world renowned DJs on an impeccable sound system with 3D projection mapping and state-of-the-art visuals. The quirky performance space that also includes a full service bar, restaurant and outdoor lounge with uniquely designed bedazzled bathrooms (one even has an aquarium) has quickly become a prominent stop on the underground Brooklyn nightlife scene, making it a must for all your nightlife needs this long weekend.
