Planning an Event Here
Littlefield is a 6,200-square-foot converted warehouse in Gowanus that operates as both a live performance venue and a private event space.

Vibe
Industrial, artsy, and casual — vintage warehouse charm meets eco-friendly sustainable design and modern performance tech.
Space Layout
An open 6,200-square-foot floor plan with a dedicated stage, main performance floor, and a front gallery with a full bar, rotating art exhibits, and lounge seating. A movable acoustic partition can divide the space into a 300-capacity performance room and a 100-capacity gallery/bar, or the whole venue can be used as one space.
Private Events
Event rentals include the venue's A/V equipment, backline, LED stage panels, and a green room with a private restroom. The space can be configured for both intimate gatherings and large-scale events thanks to the movable partition. Outside catering is welcome since the venue does not offer in-house food.
Food & Drinks
Full bar with seasonal signature cocktails, craft beer, wine, and liquor. No in-house catering — outside caterers are allowed. Best suited to standing mixers and cocktail-style dining; not recommended for large, formal sit-down meals.
