HELLO BROOKLYN's opening marks the realization of a lifelong dream for owner and manager Craig "Knoki" Fyffe, former Sugar Factory alum, and business partner, Cesar CeDillo.

'It's been a good four-year search for the right space in the right community," said Fyffe. "I want HELLO BROOKLYN to be known as a performance space with a lot of cultural and community events in Red Hook – we’re not just another nightclub, we’re an all-inclusive event space."
