POWERHOUSE Arena, located in Dumbo, has been a beloved independent bookstore and event space since 2006. It offers a thoughtfully curated selection of books across various genres, catering to both children and adults. Visitors appreciate the friendly service and the store's clean, well-organized layout. The intimate upstairs bar and lounge, Under The Arch @ POWERHOUSE, serves as a cozy venue for book readings, performances, and literary events, attracting a great crowd. While some customers noted a lack of offerings in specific areas like art and design, the overall experience remains positive. However, it's worth mentioning that the cafe is permanently closed, and parking can be a challenge. For book lovers in the area, POWERHOUSE Arena is a recommended destination for a delightful reading experience.
The Powerhouse Arena is sooo cute! It’s a little small, but it has a cool loft kinda thing up top. I met drew binsky there! Also I saw that there’s a lot of books to get there. Plus its near that iconic place to take pics of the Brooklyn bridge
