Knockdown Center

Knockdown Center fills a 50,000-square-foot former factory on Flushing Avenue in Maspeth, Queens, a short distance past the Bushwick border. The building went up in 1903 for a glass company and became the Manhattan Door Factory in 1956. It is now an art and performance space with four distinct spaces, and one of the main rooms in the city for large techno and house nights.

Club nights in the Main Hall usually run from 22:00 to 04:00 or 05:00, and some weekend events go day and night, with daytime sets in The Ruins. October 2026 has Honey Dijon, Massano and Jan Blomqvist live. Everything is 21+, and Basement is downstairs. Not for you if you want to stroll in from a bar: it is a trip out, so plan the journey both ways.
