In operation since January 2007, Club Loco is a performance space for teen bands open only to youth, ages 14-20.
Supervised by young adult volunteers and a paid security guard, Club Loco operates one Saturday evening per month
during the school year, in a space off Seventh Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn..
Club Loco is sponsored by the Park Slope Civic Council and the Reformed Church in America as a service
to the community. We are a non profit.
Our next event is October 20th, 2007.

We are looking for additional publicity, volunteers AND donations to keep the space open and available to teenagers…
We’d be interested in having local businesses sponsor the club — it would only cost $350 to sponsor a single show date as the space
is donated and costs are relatively low.
This is a great opportunity for a business to get involved at the ground level with a local project which supports the artistic growth of
our own teens!
Please contact me at the attached email address with any leads, questions, suggestions …

Yavel’s list:
Best Loaf - Lopez Bakery - 5th ave bet 18 th and 19th St. The bread is very good and cheap. I always get the 7 grain. They make a nice loaf, but stay away from the pastry. The bread is baked fresh every day, but the other stuff tends to be stale. Haven’t tried the tamales yet.
Bakery - Two Little Red Hens - 8th Ave. They’re expensive, but so good.
Bodega/small grocer - La Dolce Vita - 7th Ave - Clean store and nice owner, also has a good beer selection
Toy Store - Toy Space on 7th ave around 13th - Nice selection of toys, if a bit overpriced. This place has saved me on a few occasions when I had to get a quick gift for a kid. There’s also a place on 5th ave, but I can’t remember the name.
Children’s Shoes - Windsor Shoes - Prospect Park West - The staff is very helpful and they have a good selection.
Pizza - Pino’s La Forchetta - 7th Ave - classic pizza joint
Coffee Shop - 6th ave and 12th St - Red Horse Cafe - good coffee and not crowded
Sandwich shop - Pollios - 5th Ave - Good hoagies and specialty foods. It has a nice, neighborhood feel.

Steve writes in the Park Slope Message Boards:
Just came back from having a quick drink with friends at Union Hall, and…I’m less than impressed. I mean, Floyd’s has been open for how many years, and it’s more or less the same. I like it well enough, good beers and the little burgers look good, but it’s just too similar.
Of the 3 new local bars I went to this weekend, I would rank them:
1. Flatbush Farm
2. Cherry Tree
3. Floyd’s 2

a lot of people on 5th ave
can’t afford to have their own dog
they’re sharing like 2 people in a 1BR
so they miss their own dog back home
and enjoy drinking a beer while actively petting a dog
she loves the attention
it’s a win - win

From the New York Times: “On a still-industrial strip of Fourth Avenue, just beyond the leafy residential quiet of Park Slope, this welcoming bi-level club is both bar and clubhouse, populated by diverse crowds of lesbians and their friends. The welcoming space is bigger and more polished than owner Brooke Webster’s previous venture, the now-defunct Houston Street dive Meow Mix…”
“…Many varieties of the Sapphically inclined were visible on a recent night: boyish girls in Carhartts and their male friends, middle-aged couples, a bartender with a mohawk. The countercultural and the traditionalist should both find a place to feel at home here…”
