New Multipurpose Venue to Open in NYC’s Domino Sugar Refinery

tvg Hospitality, the proprietor of prominent venues such as Pacific Electric in Los Angeles and the Orion Amphitheatre in Huntsville, Alabama, has announced a new space called Domino. This multipurpose venue will open in the historic Domino Sugar Refinery in Brooklyn, New York.

The details:

• Domino will have a capacity of 750.

• It will open in April 2027 as a member of the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA).

• The venue will host entertainment events such as comedy, club nights, and fashion shows, but it will also be a space for rehearsals, recording sessions, and other functional purposes.

• In an effort to support artists and performers, the venue will not take a cut of merch sales.

• A cultural board will oversee the venue to ensure its programming honors local communities and advances its mission to promote diverse independent art.

What they said:

• Jen Lyon, Owner, MeanRed Productions, President, NYIVA (New York Independent Venue Association): “Independent venues built Brooklyn’s neighborhoods and NYC’s nightlife economy. Our hope is for the city and state to support us as an industry as we welcome tvg Hospitality’s new venue and the independent spirit it brings to Brooklyn.”

• Jed Walentas, CEO of Two Trees Management, the real estate firm brokering the deal for Domino: “The Refinery was the heart of Williamsburg’s industrial waterfront for more than a century, and preserving that history while creating something new and relevant has been central to our vision for the site. Williamsburg has an extraordinary and diverse cultural history of its own, and we’ve always believed that arts, music, and creative spaces are essential to what makes the neighborhood interesting and vibrant. Bringing live music and cultural programming to the ground floor of this historic building is a natural next chapter for the Refinery and will add a new dimension to the cultural life of the neighborhood.”
