This once public swimming facility turned Williamsburg concert venue is perfect for a summertime date, be it of the daytime or evening variety. Every Sunday during this season, as the sweltering heat makes us question our sanity, laugh at discomfort as you guzzle refreshing Brooklyn beer or take a trip down the Slip’n’Slide. Other non-musical diversions include the dodge ball games that rage in one corner, and the delicious BBQ items for sale should your stomach need sustenance. The shows themselves take place on a large stage at one end of the former pool, with the old concrete sloping slightly toward this point, offering views that seem almost made for such events. All of the sunny Sunday concerts are free of charge, and in the past have featured mostly up-and-coming or newly popular indie acts. For those who prefer the cool breezes of the evening, the Pool also hosts nighttime shows that while not as short-shorts appropriate, are a bit more romantic and sweat-free. The overall spaciousness of the place makes it an ideal choice for a pair who wants to enjoy the show but also be able to spread out on a picnic blanket for a chat.
