Domino, a brand-new music venue located inside Brooklyn’s historic Domino Sugar Refinery, is scheduled to open in April 2027. The 750-capacity venue will host a wide variety of events, including live concerts, club nights, film screenings, and comedy shows.
The Domino Sugar Refinery began as the firm Havemeyers & Elder in the middle of the 19th century. The refinery’s iconic building, located on Brooklyn’s Williamsburg waterfront, was constructed in 1884 and is now an official New York City landmark. Though the refinery closed in 2004, the building is now home to office spaces and is located within Domino Park, a 6-acre public park.
Ben Lovett, founding member and pianist of the band Mumford & Sons, is spearheading the Domino music venue. Working under his own company TVG Hospitality alongside Emerson Hospitality, Lovett hopes that Domino will be a central community space for Williamsburg’s music lovers. The venue will be open to all ages and will host events year-round.
“Williamsburg was my introduction to New York City, as it was for so many artists and musicians twenty years ago,” Lovett reflected. “The neighborhood has changed enormously since then, but for decades, people have sought and found community in places like the one we’re building. Domino is our chance to carry that on: somewhere artists can develop ideas, audiences can discover something new, and neighbors feel they belong. Neighborhoods change. The need for a place like this never does.”
Setting it apart from the majority of music venues, Domino does not intend to take a cut of the profits from artists’ merchandise. The venue is a member of the National Independent Venue Association and will work with independent ticketing platform Dice for ticket sales.
