Bargemusic at the Boathouse

All concerts take place at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Boathouse at Pier 5.

Full service restrooms are to the right of the entrance into the hall. For more information, please visit the Brooklyn Bridge Park website.

No food or drink is permitted inside the Boathouse, and no photo, video, or audio recording is allowed without permission. Bargemusic concerts are 1 to 1-1/2 hours, with no intermission. Programs and performers may change on occasion, without notice.

Wheelchair Accessibility

Bargemusic at the Boathouse is wheelchair accessible.

Here are some tips for getting to the Boathouse:

You can enter “Brooklyn Bridge Park Boathouse” (the address will show as “Brooklyn Bridge Park Greenway, Brooklyn, NY 11201”) in google maps for directions by car or public transportation. Another usable GPS address is “10 Montague St”—but please be aware that access to this little piece of Montague Street is only via Furman Street. Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights does not go through.

Montague Street off Furman (unfortunately there is no street sign for it) is essentially a turn-around loop around a facilities building. A driver can turn in there, follow the loop around the back of the building, and let you off on the south side. If you look uphill into the Park (facing south), you’ll see the Boathouse, accessible by stairs right by you, or by a ramp on the other side. The entrance is at the top of the stairs.

The front page and the directions page of the Bargemusic website offer maps of the Boathouse’s location in the “uplands of Pier 5.”

Subway transportation involves either a 15-minute walk down Joralemon Street from the Borough Hall subway station, a slightly longer walk from Jay St/Metrotech, or a bus ride on the B 63 from the Barclay Center/Atlantic Ave station to Pier 6. Enter the park and walk north (river on your left) until you reach the Boathouse, about a 5-minute walk.

The ferry goes to Pier 6, a short walk to the Boathouse.

Finally, you can walk from the old location of the Barge about 10 minutes south through the Park (river on your right) until you see the Boathouse on your left, just past the sandy beach and opposite the blue umbrellas of the picnic pier near Pier 5.
