Closed. BKLYN Yard is indeed a yard, one that sits beside the pungent Gowanus Canal. It's rather ramshackle, in a postindustrial-meets-bucolic sort of way. Which, in our book, makes it one of the most fun places to check out the wide range of bands and DJs—both top locals and big-name out-of-towners—that regularly play here on weekend afternoons and evenings.
