Play a night at Jaywalker. A cocktail bar and working distillery in Bushwick with a great sound system, big TV screens, a full bar, and a room built for a crowd — up to 370.
We book live music and DJs, and we’d rather build recurring nights than one-offs.
What you get
- A real room and rig — a proper sound system, big screens, and a floor that adapts from an intimate corner to the full 3,000 square feet.
- A built-in crowd — a Thursday-through-Saturday bar in the middle of the Bushwick / East Williamsburg scene.
- Cross-promotion, both ways — we make a graphic with your name, put your date on the site and our socials, and tag you. Your set advertises the room; the room advertises your set.
- Cocktails on our own rye and gin, made through the windows behind the bar.
What we’re looking for
- Live music — roots, soul, Americana, and jam. A “Rock ‘n Rye” night is exactly our speed; a Grateful Dead set is fair game.
- DJs and residencies — selectors who read a room and bring their people.
- Standing nights over one-offs. We love a residency, and weeknights (Monday–Wednesday) are wide open for a developing night.
