Pete's Candy Store

About Pete's Candy Store

Pete’s Candy Store is a bar and small live-music room at 709 Lorimer St in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It opened in 1999 and has kept a steady calendar of nightly sets that lean toward indie rock, folk, and singer-songwriter lineups. Early bills here included performers who later drew wider attention, from Norah Jones and Sufjan Stevens to Vampire Weekend and Sharon Van Etten. The room’s scale makes the focus feel practical and close-range: songs first, conversation second.
