Every time you turn around
something new and exciting is
going on at Queens’ favorite
entertainment venue, Forest
Hills Stadium.
So, as Bugs Bunny famously
asks, ‘What’s up doc?’ Well,
you can’t beat $19.23 for
season tickets to any of this
year’s diverse performances.
And, they’re also serving up
a really cool bar concept for
wine-loving New Yorkers.
For just $19.23 – a nod to
the year the historic stadium
was built – music fans who
join the “1923 Club,” are
invited to purchase up to
two limited view tickets to as
many shows as they’d like (for
$19.23 each), while supplies
last. And all Club tickets are
easily transferable.
What a great way to enjoy
a summer night out at the
Stadium with friends or
that special someone, while
reveling in a totally different
bar experience – courtesy of
music-loving brands No Fine
Print Wine Co. and llegal
Mezcal, Forest Hills Stadium’s
2019 season partners.
No Fine Print took a
decades-old, forgotten spot at
the venue and re-imagined
it. The result? “Forest
Thrills” and “Lil Thrills” –
two wildly unique open bar
spaces featuring taxidermy
décor, where you can drink
some fine vino, party and
have fun without pretension.
Celebrate summer and music,
or a special occasion, as you
partake in throwback games
and activities at these divey,
laid back wine bars.
“When I first visited Forest
Hills Stadium on Chance’s
tour, I knew the history. But
until you experience a night
out here, you’re just not going
to understand,” shared Pat
Corcoran, manager of Chance
the Rapper (who played two
sold-out nights at Forest Hills
Stadium in September 2017)
and co-founder of No Fine
Print Wine Co.
“Forest Hills is the perfect
place for us to meet fans who
love music and wine, without
the snobbery that can come
with both. We’re psyched for
everyone to stop by and see us
at Forest Thrills.”
A wine-stained and
historically hazy document,
scribbled on a bar napkin
and reprinted below, explains
the colorful backstory and
inspiration behind “Forest
Thrills” and “Lil Thrills.”
But spirited adventures at
the Stadium don’t stop there.
The notorious spirit brand,
llegal Mezcal, is introducing
their own bar idea, llegal Pop
Up, at select performances.
Guests can down the
artisanal Mezcal neat or in
a signature cocktail and, a
few lucky partyers who feel
particularly adventurous,
can get a tattoo from a famous
local artist.
Once you’re a 1923 Club
member options abound.
Eat, drink and be merry and
choose from a thoughtfully
curated selection of the area’s
“best-est” vendors. Then
relax on the sprawling grass
tennis court concourse. At
certain shows, members can
even enjoy exclusive 1923 Club
menu items.
“We couldn’t ask for a
better venue and team to
partner with,” said Tim Smith,
manager of Skrillex and Zedd,
among others, and co-founder
of No Fine Print Wine Co.
“Forest Hills is such a unique
place with an amazing history;
there’s no other place like it.
The people behind the venue
are equally special. We have
known and worked with Mike
Luba, Jason Brandt and the
team for years. They are great
people who care deeply about
art and artists. We are proud
to be building with them and
really think people are going to
dig our own little world within
their world, Forest Thrills!”
