In case you haven’t heard, some people in Park Slope have begun attacking Union Hall as bad for the neighborhood — head to Gothamist to read about the controversy. StereoactiveNYC is based out of Park Slope and the venue and bar has been one of our favorites since it opened in the Summer of 2006. The accusations being made against it are ridiculous, and — quite possibly — underhanded. Today we received an email from some of our friends at Union Hall with info about how to help show support:

Tomorrow could change Brooklyn nightlife as we know it.

Community Board 6’s advisory board lead by Lou Sones (the owner of Brazen Head) is taking action against Union Hall of Park Slope. They are recommending the removal of their liquor license based on a group of about 5 people from Union street, with no facts generated to prove any violations. I repeat… THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY UNION HALL’S LIQUOR LICENSE WITHOUT A SINGLE VIOLATION! If this is allowed it could set a chain-reaction through the night life scene. If they can deny the renewal of a liquor license for an establishment with no violations they will be able to close down anyone they like.

DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN!

The General Board will be meeting on this and other matters at the address and time listed bellow. Show up in numbers with signs stating your support for Union Hall and Brooklyn Nightlife. The press will be there and we have to put the pressure on
