ASTORIA’S
STUDIO SQUARE

BY ALEJANDRA O’CONNELL-DOMENECH
The large Astoria music
venue Studio Square
NYC has closed.
After Queens
Community Board 1
reached out to Studio
Square NYC in regards to renew-ing
their liquor license on Nov. 10,
management confirmed that they
there would be no need since the
business would be closing their
doors.
Since its opening in 2009, the
space has held countless concerts
and parties. Its 3,000 square feet
could accommodate up to 900 people,
making it one of the largest event
spaces in Astoria. Multiple neighbors
of the event space complained about
noise levels at Community Board 1
meetings on Sept. 20 and Oct. 16.
It remains unclear if the complaints
had to do with Studio Square’s clo-sure.

The event space’s landlord reached
out to Community Board 1 District
Manager Florence Koulouris and said
that he hoped to be able to put a
family-style restaurant at the now
vacant space.
QNS could not reach the owners of
Studio Square NYC for comment. The
phone line has been disconnected.
