History
The Flat was inspired by (the currently defunct) APT in New York. It has been designed in a mid-century aesthetic to represent a comfortable dwelling where one can enjoy 4 distinct spaces with each a separate function : play or dance, lounge, patio, meet and discuss. DJ Sun has been on board as a DJ since 2005, holding court behind the turntables for the internationally known RockSteady Mondays which have drawn countless international DJs to guest on the night. From Maseo (De La Soul, 4 appearances) out of the East to J Boogie (SF) fr the West. In Nov 2013, DJ Sun became a managing partner at The Flat and expanded the offerings with more DJ bookings, great chef Pop-Ups, a rum cocktail menu that satisfies those curious about the Caribbean influences DJ Sun enjoyed in his upbringing in Suriname. The patio has become a bit greener and more welcoming with the addition of an outside bar. More to come...
Specialties
Great music and aesthetic as curated and influenced by DJ Sun and extended family. The cocktail menu emphasizes Rum (DJ Sun has Caribbean Roots) and the Frozen Mojito has been an award-winning staple for 9 years. Recent DJ shows by Nickodemus (NYC), King Britt (Philly), Rich. Medina (Philly), Dam-Funk (StonesThrow), Toy Selectah (Mad Decent), Tony Touch (NYC), have helped revitalize this institution of great music, culture, food (through high-profile Pop-Ups), and Art. Great Patio, as well! Never a cover, always a great vibe!
