Outer Heaven is a high-end, bespoke cocktail lounge & microclub located at 191 Chrystie Street. From a music programming standpoint, Outer Heaven features a high-fi audio experience designed by Nicolas Matar, founder of iconic sonic temples like Cielo and Output. In tandem with phonic technologies partner Scott Ciungan, Matar has created a unique jewel-box of sound and lighting that can only be described as the best sound system per-square-foot in New York City. The Monolith, the signature lighting feature of the space, is a fully-programmable led “skylight” that spans the dance floor, inspired by the works of artist James Turrell. Open 6 days a week at 6pm, Outer features a curated selection of vibey beats in the evening, interspersed with bartenders mixing in vinyl from our own collection at regular intervals through-out the night. Later in the night on weekends, DJs take the fore with a heady mix of house, disco, techno, and indie dance music. Monday evenings are DB^2 night, a love note to David Byrne and David Bowie, two of the club’s music heroes. Open 6 days a week at 6PM. Closed on Sundays (for now).

What’s on 20 nights announced

14 more, through Wed 23 Dec

Every announced night here that states a minimum age says 21+ — 19 of 20 state one. The biggest count ahead is 18 going, under the floor where "busiest" would mean anything — so no lead line above this list, and no week-on-week reading on the row. Counts are Resident Advisor's, relayed.

Fixed words, no estimates: every week is 4826, some weeks 9base beside them; a weekday with fewer than 8 listings is computed and then refused. Everything on these lines is the last twelve months, except who books it, which is the whole record.

Ordered by how much of either room's cast the two share, so the city's biggest room does not head every list.

Related means rooms this room's regulars also keep coming back to — not rooms that feel alike. A regular is somebody billed here on three nights or more.
