history
Market Hotel s an historic event space that has been a neighborhood nightlife hub for Bushwick and Bed-Stuy, in many incarnations, for over 50 years. Built as a branch of Corn Bank in the late 1870's, the 2nd floor began life as a local nightclub in the 1960's, operating under names like the "Bristol Room" and the "Broadway Chateau," and hosting meringue, salsa, house music, and early Latin-hiphop events -- until ultimately closing amidst an enforcement crackdown following the "Happyland" disaster in the early 1980's. The 2nd floor stayed shuttered / dustily preserved in time for the next 20-plus years, save for a brief appearance in the movie "Ghost."
