Brooklyn Paramount
Music venue in Brooklyn, New York
About
The Brooklyn Paramount is a music venue in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City, at the intersection of Flatbush and DeKalb Avenues. It opened in 1928 as a movie palace that occasionally hosted jazz, blues and early rock and roll concerts.
In 1962, the theatre was closed and converted into a basketball court for Long Island University (LIU)'s athletic teams. A renovation to turn the building back to a performing arts venue began in 2017, and the theater reopened in 2024.
