Music Hall of Williamsburg on Postcard

"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. "

Small enough venue to feel intimate, big enough to dance or mosh. There's a bar upstairs and downstairs where it's a little quieter. And they sell ear plugs, especially helpful for those who are autistic or aurally sensitive. The staff is helpful.

Went to Williamsburg hall (from upstate New York) to have a vip meet and greet and concert with Dustin Kensrue. What an AMAZING venue. It is mainly standing room only, but has 2 bars, one upstairs and one downstairs in the lounge. Downstairs are tons of comfy chairs and couches and TVs to watch the show from. Bathrooms were elegant and clean. The venue was super cool, could still see original architecture in the building. Highly recommend for an intimate show!

I ventured out to Brooklyn from Washington Heights to see Hurray for the Riff Raff. The doors opened at 7 so I arrived about 10 to 7 and there were about 5 people ahead of me. Once in, I went downstairs and had a beer at the bar. I went back up to see the opening act and there was already people at the front of the stage. I was able to get a spot right in front which was perfect for me. There was room up on the mezzanine as well. The space is clean and the staff is friendly.

Nice size venue in Williamsburg for a show. Bar/ Lounge downstairs. My only complaint is that the sound system for the show I attended (Teenage Fanclub) was very muddy. I suspect it's just the acoustics of the space or in the house equipment. I say that because I saw the same band the night B4 in Jersey City at a similar sized venue and the sound across the river at White Eagle Hall was far superior.

This theater was pretty cool. I loved how intimate the concert felt here due to the place’s charm and limited seating. They had a bar on site that offered a variety of drinks and it was well organized apart from the long line outside standing in the rain but that is expected from small venues. Overall it was a really fun night and I would definitely attend another concert here. There is a closeby subway station, about 3 blocks from the venue which makes for easy travel. I attended a Teo concert and the view was pretty great! It is stand only, no seat sections.

smaller venue, good place to see a show where you can actually see the artists on stage. the upstairs terrace was a good viewing too. I wish more artists would play smaller venues these days!

We had so much fun photographing a wedding at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. We love hanging around our favorite neighborhood (that we also call home), Williamsburg, and photographing the coolest, most creative, and fun couples. The Music Hall is such a unique space that really highlights all these qualities. From a center stage ceremony to a lounge cocktail hour and an epic dance party that followed, the whole day was perfect!
