Social Cues B.S.A. is a private lounge at 35 Meadow Street in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that a group of up to 40 guests can reserve by the hour. The space measures 900 square feet and comes with a pool table, karaoke, darts, a photo booth and a surround sound system. It suits team outings, networking events and parties where the host wants to bring their own food and drinks.
Seminars and company events
Social Cues names team outings and networking events among the occasions its lounges are made for. The B.S.A. lounge is not a meeting venue in the formal sense: there is no stage, and the venue rules prohibit DJs, live music, PA systems and speakers. What it offers is a private room with a 75 inch TV with smart cast, which can show a presentation, plus a sound system with ad-free music apps and adjustable smart lighting.
The lounge is self-guided. The host receives a digital access code and controls the music, lighting, guest list and schedule. Access begins and ends at the reserved times, so plan setup and clearing inside the booking. Rates depend on the venue, the day and the guest count, and the team handles availability by request.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not offer weddings. It does list birthday celebrations, reunions and bachelorette parties, and it forbids selling tickets or hosting public events. A small private reception can fit the format, but check with the team first.
Rooms and capacities
The B.S.A. lounge has a maximum of 40 guests in 900 square feet. Fixtures include an 8 foot custom pool table with four cues, karaoke with more than one million songs and two wireless microphones, darts and board games, a digital photo booth, a 75 inch TV, a water cooler, a compact fridge and an ice bucket. The bathroom is shared.
The site describes the art as work by local artists, with bright colors and exposed brick giving a raw industrial feel.
Catering
There is no kitchen service. The venue is BYOB and BYOF, which means bring your own beverages and food. Cooking and open flames are not allowed, and food and drinks must stay off the pool table.
