Ahead of its opening in June, Pacha New York \u2013 the\u00a0newly rebranded Williamsburg venue<\/a> formerly known as Brooklyn Mirage \u2013 has unveiled a \u201ccomprehensive\u201d safety plan.<\/p>\n

It follows several safety-related road bumps hit by Brooklyn Mirage during its short tenure. In 2023,\u00a0two people were found dead and another was allegedly kidnapped<\/a> after leaving the venue, leading to its temporary closure in order to heighten safety measures in a\u00a0$30 million renovation<\/a>, despite owners denying responsibility.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn Mirage\u2019s parent company, Axar Capital, later\u00a0filed for bankruptcy<\/a> in August 2025 with over $150 million in funded debt obligations, and\u00a0faced partial demolition<\/a> in October with plans to remove a 32,000 sq ft. area of the club.<\/p>\n

In January, it was revealed that\u00a0the venue was being rebranded<\/a> after being sold to Pacha parent company FIVE Holdings, with plans to reopen by summer following a year of closure.<\/p>\n

Under the new name Pacha New York, the venue has vowed to make things right with disgruntled attendees of the former club. Earlier this month, Pacha New York revealed that it would credit ticketholders<\/a> who were not refunded for scrapped Brooklyn Mirage events.<\/p>\n

It vowed to refund \u201c100% of the original ticket value\u201d as coupons, which can be used across \u201cshows, food, drinks, and merch\u201d when the venue opens in the summer.<\/p>\n

Today, Pacha New York also unveiled a “comprehensive, ground-up operating plan” that they claim will “set a benchmark for safety, compliance, and community accountability”.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve heard the community clearly, and we\u2019re rebuilding this venue from the ground up to operate the right way: by the book with full DOB compliance and with transparency and accountability at every level,\u201d says Kabir Mulchandani, Chairman of The Pacha Group.<\/p>\n

New safety measures include a reduced overall capacity, \u201creal-time\u201d AI tracking, access to a community board, elimination of overselling, coordinated exits and traffic management, enhanced lighting, and a dedicated 5G tower to allow for connectivity in the venue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also implementing full sanitation and street management after every event, in addition to expanded security, patrol, and on-site medical capabilities. This is not just a reset \u2013 it\u2019s a global benchmark for fan safety, while being respectful of the local community,\u201d says Mulchandani.<\/p>\n

Pacha New York also expects to create over 450 jobs and generate more than $75 million in annual economic activity once open as part of a long-term commitment to New York nightlife.<\/p>\n
