Music Hall of Williamsburg

"This gritty Williamsburg concert hall has debuted many an indie and new wave band. It's one of our favorite venues in the city, second only to the Bowery Ballroom (it's from the same family), as the sound is great and it's nice and intimate. You can stand and watch on the ground floor, but there's more low-key, tiered standing areas upstairs for those inclined to claustrophobia. Fall highlights: Julien Baker, Bastille, Shovels & Rope, Bon Iver, and more. "

"A performance space modeled visually after an older downtown venue but noted for having a very different sound, making it strange to play there directly after the original." - Alan Sytsma, Lindsay Mound
