Jenny SorensenApril 8, 2015One of the smaller intimate dance music venues in Brooklyn with great bookings and super cheap happy hour early in the night. You can also get your boozy brunch on here for hangover food heaven. Read more
Jason SchulweisDecember 29, 2014One of the smaller music venues in Williamsburg (it's in the back of a cafe/bar). Acts aren't huge but everyone I've seen is super talented, and it allows for a deeper connection between artist & fan
Doraly PantaleonFebruary 8, 2015Great live music in backspace concert area and bar in the front. It's huge and a great environment.
On Wednesdays, enjoy happy hour in the Lovin' Cup, and once that ends head into Cameo through the back for free stand up comedy. Best Wednesday night plan in the hood. Hilarious. awesome.
CMJAugust 29, 2012Make your way past diners at the Lovin' Cup to gain entrance to this club--one of the best small venues at CMJ. We're still not sure what that object is overlooking the stage, but it sure looks cool.
FlavorpillFebruary 22, 2012You can find a little bit of everything at Cameo Gallery- you just have to find Cameo Gallery first! The Big Terrific (feat. Jenny Slate) is a must-see on Wednesdays. Read more:
Maria MarquesFebruary 5, 2013Big Terrific – Hosted by Max Silvestri. John Mulaney and Jessi Klein can be seen regularly, while visitors like Sarah Silverman make a point of swinging by when in town. Wednesday, 8:30pm • Free
Mike VargaJuly 21, 2012Get window seat for some of the best people watching in the city. The $15 Drunk Brunch special is the best deal in the city: coffee, 3 alcoholic drinks and meal included. Sat/Sun 11am-5pm.
Bask in the string cheese lights. Come back for the brunch. Stay for the tater tots.
- FlavorpillFebruary 22, 2012If you get tired from dancing to french DJs or cute indie bands, try the rosemary fries that are served at the Lovin' Cup:
Chris RaghoobarOctober 5, 2015Sweet little venue hidden behind a bar. Love the whole "behind the curtain" thing.
Alex ShippeeApril 14, 2013Great food. Great drinks. Very cool and attentive staff. Their brunch special is literally to die for.
Looks like this tiny venue got a major upgrade. New big space in the back has great sound. Also, Freelance Whales told me this is their favorite "hidden gem" venue in Brooklyn.
Uber NYCAugust 22, 2013Offering 2 for 1 show tickets to We Barbarians and Luke Hes on Friday, and 20% off food through the weekend during Uber NYC's #BKLOVESuberX, 8/23-25/13.
Beers start at $4 and there's tater tots. Do I need to say more? (Maybe that there's a music venue called Cameo in the back?)
hafeez rajiAugust 1, 2011saw my boys Apollo Heights play here, great space for a show, if you love tater tots, get there, you get free tater tots for checking, now thats a deal Read more
Ray LinJuly 30, 2014A somewhat hidden downstairs bar area surrounded by wooden wall panels that is kinda awesome.
ReALTOFebruary 8, 2012Try the Big Terrific. It may sound strange when you look at the ingredients, but its AWESOME. The burger is great as well.
Mick ManagementOctober 19, 2011Fort Lean will be rocking the Golden Ratio/ PaperTrail CMJ 2011 showcase at 9:30 PM on Wednesday 10/19. Be sure to give them a listen!
Rad place to catch a band - installation above the stage has a glasslands feel but you can order tater tots in the restaurant!
Connie ChiuOctober 15, 2014Hip outer bar vibe but head to the back space for concerts and dancing. Speakers a little too loud though.
CultivoraOctober 12, 2012Enjoy this space behind the Lovin' Cup Cafe, where you should eat before or after the show.
Denise JonesDecember 11, 2012Cheapest boozy brunch around (til 5PM on weekends). $15 for 3 drinks, coffee and entree! Enjoy.
Justin PatrickAugust 17, 2011Free tater tots with check in, all you can drink brunch, great bar tenders. What more could you want?
Sam SaundersMarch 21, 2011Get a 'Lemon Song.' It's not on the menu anymore, but it has their house-infused fig vodka with basil and lemon. Balanced gastro-gasm.
SquireJuly 7, 2013Good food, good music, but no AC when it's over 90 degrees? F-that. I'll come back only when it cools down.
Harlem’s HungryApril 10, 2015Drinks were strong but kind expensive to be drinking from picnic cups. I went for a concert my friend was in. If not for here I would have had a bad time.
Luke HughettOctober 23, 2011The brilliance of the unlimited beverage brunch here is not that it's actually capped at 3 but that no one wants to finish the first one!
Go-to dance club. Tiny, unpretentious, made to actually enjoy the DJ and dance
Lauren GantnerMarch 10, 2012Get the nacho fries with tortilla chips instead of fries. I can't get over the goodness.
Walk thru the long creepy hallway at the back of the Lovin' Cup to get to this unexpected venue. Wed nights at 8 catch the free comedy show Big Terrific; go and laugh. Lots.
Dave AJuly 23, 2010No joke. This place is legit. $3 margaritas for happy hour. Burger is in fact amazing. I housed that bad boy in 5 mins
Andrew Valeriano-RollinsMarch 26, 2011$15 for a brunch menu item and House Draft or Mimosa (up to 3, and it does the trick)
