My wife and I opened Bar Chord in 2013. Given that we're open year-round (363 days a year) it's important for us to build in some down time. One of my favorite places to recharge is Park Fitness on Coney Island Avenue. It's a great spot - owned by locals. We also love rooting on our Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center and no night is complete without a little music and catching up with great friends at the Bar.
Park Fitness is a wonderful place to decompress and recenter. They offer a very wide variety of classes to allow everyone from true beginners to advanced fitness enthusiasts to find something that meets their needs.
Their self described mission is create a welcoming, supportive, inspiring, safe and fun environment that promotes change and positivity. The perfect place to improve your physical and mental strength by challenging yourself and seeing the benefits of self-care through fitness.
Rooting on our beloved Brooklyn Nets is a favorite pastime and the Barclays Center is a great place to see a game. In addition to being the home for the Brooklyn Nets (NBA) and the New York Islanders (NHL) the venue is also host to many top performances and concerts. Any given week you can catch acts like The Lumineers, the Harlem Globetrotters and Celine Dion. See upcoming events: https://www.barclayscenter.com/events
“Music Is Love” at Bar Chord. In a given week, you can catch Jazz, Funk, Cumbia, Americana, Zydeco and Salsa. The music and vibe at this neighborhood bar reflects the diversity of the neighborhood and its patrons.
Bar Chord has been open since the Spring of 2013 and through all the ups and downs, what keeps us going is the community that quickly formed around music and art. The constant flow of talent that graces our little stage never ceases to amaze us and we hope that our model of NO COVER EVER gives everyone a chance to experience the joy of live music.
