Amazing gallery in South Williamsburg. If you’re a child of the 80’s or 90’s, you’ll love some of their past exhibits. The art here is FUN, think Ninja Turtles and Pac Man kicked up a notch. I purchased a few prints off their web site and wish I had a bigger place so I could buy more. Staff is super helpful and friendly, they’re artists and have brought something to New York that was sorely needed. They also have connections to street artists like Jerkface if you’re looking for original pieces though you’ll pay accordingly. If you just want a fun cheap print to spice up your apartment, this is the place to go.

This place is awesome! It is small but brings in some great artists. We even got to watch the artist work on one as we chilled and drank free beer! That’s what I’m all about.

Great little gallery a few blocks from the base of the Williamsburg bridge(Brooklyn side). We went for their 30th anniversary of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gallery opening which featured nearly 100 pieces of art based on TMNT in a variety of media, though mostly prints. Wow was it crowded, opening night on a Friday night in South Williamsburg, and a handful of people were in big costumes adding even more to the mass of people(and rats). The show was sponsored by Nickelodeon as well as a few others and there was even free pizza! The gallery space was fairly small, just one big room and a small store room in the back where the prints for purchase were stored. From the other pictures it looks like a lot of their shows are more fun and comical rather than the usual highly pretentious works you too often find at galleries. I can’t wait to see what their next show is.

My boyfriend and I have this deal that whenever we travel, we always buy art. So while staying in Brooklyn, we went looking for some galleries looking for some inspiration. Based on Unilocal reviews, we came here and it was fantastic. Great service, cool advice, and best of all, they ship to New Zealand! We’ve since bought some more prints online, so I definitely recommend their website.

Bottleneck is located on a quiet block in Wlliamsburg. As with any art space, I was worried about pretentiousness but the atmosphere reflected the chill vibe that the artwork inspired. I was there on the opening night of an exhibit with a fun concept-artwork inspired by the«greatest couples of all time,» called ‘Get a Room.’ I definitely recommend the exhibit for the high quality of varied artwork that included current pop art that I felt spanned a wide variety of artistic styles. The wine from a box, which I have no problem with, and I like that the local Brooklyn Brewery was involved. It’s also nice to have the option of something to snack on, this particular night was bread and artisan olive oil, but not sure how consistent the sponsorship is. The space and art feel very accessible to artists and non-artworld people alike.

This place is awesome! I don’t find myself to be much of an art person, but that’s what i love about the pop art that is presented at this gallery. It’s art that I can relate to and every month they have a different theme! So far I’ve been to each one(they started Sept 2012) and I’ve enjoyed seeing artists from previous shows showcasing their works in consecutive shows. I even find that I’m able to recognize certain artists by their style! The artists also come by and are so cool to meet. The guys who run this place are awesome and so nice! The cool thing about Bottleneck is that they offer reasonable prices for cool pieces AND they donate a percentage of their earning to a different charity that goes along with their theme every month! It’s great to see people doing what they love and you really feel that here! And did I mention the FREEALCOHOL and SNACKS?! They have all different types of beer from Brooklyn Brewery which I hear are great!(i don’t drink beer) They also have red and white wine along with cookies, veggie trays and bread with balsamic and oil dipping sauce! This place is always packed and showcasing some great works! I’ve even run into people I haven’t seen since elementary school through here! I will keep coming here every month because it’s just a great place to hang out, check out some cool art and just have fun!

Bottleneck Gallery has become my favorite gallery in Williamsburg. For a pop culture nerd like myself I am in heaven. Each month they have a cool theme,(HBO/Showtime series, Zombies, groups, gadgets) and infuse it with pop culture. Television shows, movies, iconic Hollywood actors. It’s a real awesome experience. Celebrities have also been blowing up their fan art displayed here, on their twitter and Facebook. Last event some of the artists even showed up to discuss their art. It’s a great event to come through with friends, on a date or to grab some cool art work from something you love. You can find something inexpensive and they also have some real expensive pieces. They also have been working with Brooklyn Brewery, serving beer. They have wine and snacks too! A night here can’t be beat!
