April 22, 2025Bodega NYC at 9221 – 5th Avenue – Loud Music
Bodega NYC opened at 9221 – 5th Avenue. Lockyard used to be this location, until they quietly closed on March 7th. The new owner has no association to Lockyard.
Bodega NYC is requesting a liquor license from the SLA and Community Board 10 has to give their input. They are a bar/restaurant.
Yet it appears they are a club. On April 7th, complaints about noise at Bodega NYC. Josephine at CB 10 said there was social media posts with dancing loud, music and it looked like a club.
Community Board 10 read the complaints that Bay Ridge residents sent to them about late night noise from this club.
The neighbors of 9221 -5th Avenue were present. No one will want to live in a noisy area and property owners were concerned that they were going to lose their tenants.
One Bay Ridge resident said that Lockyard was very noisy. The backyard of bar has a cover so people can not see in. The recent noise level was high and worse.
After all the neighbors spoke, Community Board 10 noticed that the owner of Bodega NYC was present. He said that two people are putting in all the complaints – a husband and wife. He did not acknowledge any of the complaints by people who were present.
Community Board 10 did the right thing and made a motion to deny the applicant. No one wants an empty storefront there, but businesses have to be mindful of this area as there are many residents living nearby.
Thank you to our neighbors who showed up and shared how uncomfortable they are.
