Baby's All Right is a bar and music venue in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. The venue is known as a hub for Brooklyn's indie music scene, and its programming ranges from rock and jazz to electronic and experimental.[1][2] Notable acts have included SZA, Billie Eilish, A$AP Rocky, and Ariel Pink.[3][4][5]

History

Baby's All Right opened in 2013 in the former production facility of Hygrade Food Products, a historic hot dog manufacturer.[6] The venue was co-founded by bookers Zachary Mexico and Billy Jones and constructed by Hecho, Inc.[2][6] The venue was part of an indie music revival in Williamsburg that included the openings of several small venues in 2012 and 2013.[7]

The venue has cultivated a reputation for booking acts at the forefront of indie music; Byline called it a leading presenter of the 2020s "indie sleaze revival."[8] In 2017, the venue's commercial success led its owners to pursue a location in Los Angeles' Chinatown neighborhood; it is not clear if the new venue ever opened.[9] In 2024, the owners said Baby's All Right would pursue an expansion into Manhattan's East Village, moving into the space on Avenue A formerly occupied by the music bar Baker Falls.[10]

The bar became part of a social media feud when, in 2017, it posted a picture of what it said was Kendall Jenner's $24 bar tab with no tip; the Instagram post's caption read, "Don’t forget to tip your bartender." Jenner said she had tipped in cash.[4]

Space

Located at 146 Broadway off Bedford Avenue in South Williamsburg, Baby's All Right consists of a performance space as well as a bar and restaurant, occupying 5,000 square feet in total.[3] The venue's decor evokes a retro sensibility; The New York Times noted its "astrological charts, contoured ceilings and overlapping swaths of wallpaper scraps" evoked the feeling of a "Wes Anderson-curated mother ship."[11] The eatery offers a full dinner menu as well as small plates, with a Latin American focus, and hosts a popular weekend brunch service.[2][3]

The performance space is located immediately behind the bar and includes a retractable wall to reduce sound bleed. Both the bar and stage feature programmable LED walls designed by Tucker Viemeister.[6]
