    Pete's Candy Store is a dive-esque live performance venue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It is close enough via walking distance to other businesses that include eateries, other hang-out spots, etc. It is accessible via public transportation that includes the L train to Lorimer as well as the G train to Metropolitan and walking to the establishment. Once you arrive there, you will see that the front entrance looks gives an "old-fasioned candy / ice cream / soda shop" vibe. Some of us went to Pete's Candy Store earlier this year in January 2023 to see Impossible Odds & The Odds Band. Pete's Candy Store is quaint w/ the bar area and limited dining tables/ seats in the front separated by a door that divides it the other section that has limited seating w/ a stage in the back of the place. The great thing about Pete's Candy Store is that every seat is considered "good seating" as it is all close to the stage area. Sitting towards the back produced a good view of Impossible Odds & The Odds Band in all their glory. Music sounds awesome as you can hear it all regardless of where you are seated. However, because there is limited seating, it gets crowded quickly, which means there are lots of individuals standing and watching the shows. People run the risk of not being able to maneuver in & out of the entertainment area easily if you want to order something off their menu, if you want to get to the bathroom, etc. Once Impossible Odds & The Odds Band ended their set, other bands came on the stage, and they were equally as amazing. There is a bucket available to place donations that are dispersed to the music groups. Please listen to Impossible Odds & The Odds Band as Andy Blanc, aka "The Odds," gives you the epitome of what he calls "gentlemen hip-hop,"w/such a terrific band. "Pristine" is a fantastic song. Instagram - @impossibleoddsmusic Impossible Odd & The Odds Band also has a YouTube channel.

    This is the perfect local spot. Interesting people, music, and staff. If you are a musician looking to start playing out, this is one of the few places that really supports that. The staff is friendly. The sound guy was mildly grumpy, which is a 10 out of 10 as far as sound guys go. Check it out!
