A doctor’s note or prescription is required for all inhalers in order to be admitted

I assume you have a bar. How can I pay for things?

We accept cash and all major credit cards. There is also an ATM on site. For most events we accept cash or credit at the door for tickets. On some occasions, we may only accept cash – check your particular event’s page on our Calendar for specific information. We cannot accept foreign currencies.

My friends can get a bit rowdy, do you kick people out for having fun?

Having fun is 100% encouraged and expected! However, guests who appear intoxicated, are using offensive language, throwing objects, standing on furniture or any other behavior deemed by Knockdown Center as disruptive or dangerous in nature, are subject to ejection. Additionally, we often have art exhibitions open and on view late into the evening. Any behavior that threatens the safety of these precious objects or affects others’ ability to enjoy the exhibition could be grounds for removal.

Can I light one up?

All indoor areas are Smoke Free. Smoking is only allowed in designated outdoor areas and when permitted by law.

I quit smoking! I can vape, right?

Congratulations! We’re proud of your accomplishment, but the same smoking policy applies to both electronic cigarettes or any kind of vaporizer.  It’s the law.

I lost my favorite gold necklace at last night’s party, and my grandma gave me that necklace. I’m distraught. Do you have it?

All found items are taken to the Venue Office. If you lose an item during an event, please see our event staff for assistance. If you realize you have lost an item after you leave the property, please email mail@knockdowncenter.com with “Lost and Found” + the name of the event in the subject, as well as a description of the lost item in the email’s body. We will do our best to help find your lost item, however Knockdown Center is not responsible for items left behind. The lost and found is open M-F, from 10:00am until 5:00pm.

Can I come back in? I forgot to turn my oven off.

Re-entry is not permitted to ticketed events, unless specified on your particular event’s page on our Calendar.

I’m hungry. You won’t like me when I’m hungry. Will you have food on site?

We typically have food available at our larger events, with vegetarian options. Check the event’s Facebook page, or call in advance to find out what will be available. Check our guest conduct policy above if you’re worried about your behavior when you get hungry.

Can I host my event at Knockdown Center?

Yes! Shoot us a note on our Bookings page with as many details about your event as possible and we’ll get back to you with availabilities.

Can my band play at Knockdown Center? We’re really awesome, I promise.

While we’re sure you’re just as awesome as you say, all bands are booked by each event’s promoters. Send your demos to them, they love it.

I was thinking about wearing my faux-leather, diamond-studded jacket, but it can get a bit heated. Do you have a coat check?

We have a coat check on any night that expects to be cold enough to warrant extra clothes. Bags can also be checked as separate items. Each item is $5, cash only. That jacket sounds really sweet.

Woah, you’re in Maspeth? Where in the world is that?

Maspeth is in New York City, we promise. Multiple busses stop on our doorstep, we run a FREE shuttle, and we’re pretty close to both the L and JMZ Subway lines. Check out our How To Get Here page for easy directions.

But I want to drive!

Woah, no one said you couldn’t! We have a small parking lot that is open for most events, but arrive early to claim a spot. There is also plenty of street parking in our neighborhood. Remember, no drinking and driving!
