SLEEPWALK, the East Williamsburg lounge and venue, is home to a myriad of eclectic audiences and artists. The atmosphere is a sultry blend of 1920s Shanghai style and Brooklyn glamour, colored by walls teeming with art deco lighting, eccentric original artwork, glitter and damask. As you travel through the main bar and past the neo-geisha semi-private lounge, Sleepwalk opens up into an intimate 70 capacity venue whose stage is graced nightly by an array of live and DJ performances that span all genres of music and variety shows. Named after the 1959 #1 hit song by Brooklyn-born brothers Santo and Johnny, Sleepwalk opened its doors in June of 2022. Created by the founders of NYC iconic destinations Nurse Bettie, We Got Company, and the late Cameo Gallery, the bar offers a playfull unique cocktail menu, an extensive collection of beers and cocktails on tap, and a highly curated whiskey and agave selection. If the phrase “sensualist noir futurism meets roadhouse rock authenticity” means anything to you, then Sleepwalk is your next destination.

Every announced night here that states a minimum age says 21+ — 2 of 2 state one. The biggest count ahead is 2 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.

Too few nights here for a cast of its own — so these are the rooms the names billed here have of their own, and the row says who.

A regular is somebody billed at that room on three nights or more. This is one person's record, not two rooms' casts, and it is captioned that way on purpose.

The listings, the counts of them and every figure derived from them are our own record of what Resident Advisor published. Going-counts and genre tags are Resident Advisor's, relayed. Titles, prices and house rules are the promoters' own words, quoted exactly. The address, capacity, phone, website, follower count and description are Resident Advisor's venue page. Crowd names are ours. Nothing on this page was written for it.
