Brooklyn Bowl's three locations are currently closed until further notice due to the pandemic, but they're still forging ahead with a space in another city, Philadelphia.
Like musicians and bands, who are suffering financially while their tours get cancelled, venue staff from bartenders, bouncers, sound technicians and beyond are also going without paychecks while the places they work are closed.
Carnegie Hall, Brooklyn Bowl, Town Hall, Public Records, The Shed, House of Yes, Knockdown Center, and Basement are among the venues temporarily shuttering to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
