Former Williamsburg nightclub to become izakaya and event space
A new izakaya and events venue is being planned for 74 Wythe Ave. in the former building of iconic Williamsburg nightclub Output, which closed earlier this year after roughly six years.
The 18,000-square-foot space, with a 772-person capacity, will feature a ballroom, a cocktail lounge, a large terrace and an izakaya — a Japanese-style gastropub.
The restaurant will serve sushi, ramen and pork buns, and the ballroom will host corporate gatherings and social events like weddings and bar mitzvahs.
The roof, with a capacity of just under 300, will have retractable glass similar to the Apple Store’s signature design, according to representative Joshua Kaiser, who presented the plans at a Community Board 1 meeting on Oct. 10.
