\n\tOn a hot and humid Saturday night (June 13) in Brooklyn, Pacha<\/a> New York opened its doors for the first time in a decade. The night was ushered in with the Knicks playing game five of the NBA Finals, which the venue had projected on their screen to ensure concert-goers wouldn\u2019t miss a single second of the historic game.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the Knicks won their first championship game in 53 years, performer Danny Tenaglia dropped an instrumental version of Frank Sinatra<\/a>\u2019s \u201cTheme from New York, New York,\u201d and the early club-goers truly began to dance<\/a> and usher in their evenings.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe club\u2019s new home formerly housed the infamous Brooklyn Mirage \u2014 a Bushwick venue famed for its wrap-around LED screen. In 2025, the venue\u2019s parent company, Avant Gardner, moved to upgrade the Mirage, and its plans included a 270-degree LED screen with 30k resolution and 100 million pixels, and dance floors built on the second and third levels of the mezzanine. The new build never passed inspection by the Department of Buildings (DOB), and Avant Gardner \u2014 forced to file for bankruptcy \u2014 couldn\u2019t return.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn February, Dubai-based holding company FIVE Holdings, which has owned Pacha since 2023, moved in to operate the property<\/a>. Pacha\u2019s existed in Ibiza since 1973, and the brand came to New York in 2006. Back then, Pacha had inherited another club\u2019s legacy as it moved into the same venue as the Sound Factory, Twilo and Spirit. When Pacha New York closed its doors in 2016 \u2014\u00a0a year after Brooklyn Mirage originally opened its doors in 2015.<\/p>\n

\n\tPacha\u2019s opening on Saturday felt less a launch than a homecoming. Keinemusik\u2019s Rampa took the stage to host a pre-opening party that marked the debut of the new venue. On June 20, Michael Bibi will take the stage to usher in Pacha\u2019s official opening for a sold-out show, while Black Coffee will perform for another sold-out night on June 21.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe space keeps things simple: the entrance remains located in the same spot on Stewart Ave that it had been for Mirage, but with security moved up closer to the front. Upon entering, fans cross the street back towards Brooklyn Hall (formerly the Great Hall), where a merch store now sits. Past Brooklyn Hall, food options lay to the left, and the dance floor towards the right.<\/p>\n

\n\tThree bars frame the venue\u2019s dancefloor, each hosting a VIP viewing area on top. For those who purchased a table and bottle service, they can enjoy the show from the stage, nestled around the DJ booth. Within the VIP section beside the stage sits another bar and several sections for seating, as well as rows of private bathrooms.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the past, the Mirage\u2019s mezzanine was tall enough to provide a view of the Manhattan skyline. The new club feels reminiscent of Mirage\u2019s earlier days. The wrap-around screen remains, but for Pacha, it\u2019s not the center of the focus that it once was. The dancefloor itself is what takes center stage. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile the omakase bar promised in the Mirage\u2019s new build never came to fruition, among Pacha\u2019s meal options includes a sushi bar with six-piece push-pop tubes, small plates and appetizers. Concert-goers can take a break from the dancefloor to snack on spicy tuna, yellowtail jalapeno, dragon eel or the venue\u2019s special, Shiro Williamsburg (salmon, tuna, yellowtail, mesago and spicy mayo). For those not in the mood for sushi, festival favorites including chicken tenders and grilled cheese can also be purchased.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the night moved on, the crowd filled out. Those who perhaps opted to watch the game elsewhere and took to the city streets moved over to the venue to end their night with Rampa going back-to-back with Prospa. By 2:30 a.m., the venue was in full swing. Travis Scott<\/a> and Quavo<\/a> had arrived and settled down at a table, dancing the night away on stage. Luka Sabbat and Myles O\u2019Neil also made an appearance, weaving through the crowd as they made their way towards the DJ booth. As the night raged on, fireworks lit the sky \u2014 ushering in the Knicks\u2019 win, and Pacha\u2019s opening.<\/p>\n
