"Baker Falls venue in NYC needs help to square up with folks starting with artists and our wonderful team after a year-long struggle to build our community and stay open. We might lose our space due to a weird 3-way combo of the landlord passing away, foreclosure on their estate, and an unexpected lease clause which could cancel our lease with a new owner...if this happens, no other performance venue would probably be able to operate at 192 Allen Street as the commercial space would be redeveloped..."
"But this craziness could lead to another opportunity for us...with extra funds raised, we can clear some back debt and have the rare opportunity to move the Baker Falls liquor license to a new location in the neighborhood OR if we can hold on at this location long enough, there is a slight possibility a new owner down the road could allow us to stay."
Baker Falls relocated to 192 Allen Street in 2024 from its Ave A location and operates in the former Rockwood Music Hall space. The venue needs funds to pay artists and staff after a year-long struggle to build community and remain open. The lease faces risk from a landlord passing, foreclosure on the estate, and an unexpected lease clause that could cancel the agreement with a new owner, potentially leading to redevelopment that would prevent any performance venue at 192 Allen Street. Additional funds could clear back debt and enable moving the liquor license or allow staying if a new owner permits. Visitors can support by attending the daytime cafe or evening shows.
