Great sound great staff unbelievable talent in Grace Bowers! In the heart of the east village the place is a gem with fantastic restaurants all around. Grace adjusted her music to fit the neighborhood as well. Ran into old friend Scooter i haven't seen in over 10 years!

Webster Hall

star 4.2

East Village, Manhattan · 3,148 reviews

The most unwelcome venue I've visited. When you arrive at Webster Hall you are asked to show ID. Naturally, I assumed this was simply to gain entry. I presented my UK driving licence, which was rejected as invalid ID. Apparently only a passport would do, something I haven't had to present for age verification since the UK introduced photo licences decades ago. I was then told I would not be allowed to buy alcohol. Fair enough, their rules. But then my hands were physically taken and black crosses were marked on the backs of them. I'm still not entirely sure why because people who passed the ID test were given wristbands. Surely no wristband already solves the problem. I asked to speak to a manager because the whole experience felt unnecessarily hostile and frankly quite humiliating. I was told it was "New York State policy". That simply isn't true. You are expected to present valid ID, but apparently the definition of "valid" ends at US borders. The irony is I'm 56 and had absolutely no intention of buying an overpriced weak drink in the first place. The venue itself is beautiful and the concert was excellent, but the experience is badly let down by poor communication, made up explanations and a severe lack of common sense. If you're visiting Webster Hall from outside the US and want a drink, bring your passport and leave your common sense at home.

The music was absolutely fantastic -- truly top quality. If I were rating only the performance, it would easily be 5 stars. The musicians were incredible, and that's honestly the only reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of less. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn't match the level of the music. After paying $77 per ticket, we were seated extremely close to strangers -- it was so crowded that it was hard to even breathe comfortably. There was barely any space to move. On top of that, there is a $20 per person minimum spend, which would be fine if the drinks were good -- but the cocktails were very disappointing. The margaritas were honestly some of the worst we've had. I understand this is a popular venue and tickets will always sell, but a little more consideration for guests would make a big difference. Selling slightly fewer tickets or adding extra show dates with the same bands could create a much more enjoyable atmosphere. Live music should feel special and comfortable, not overcrowded. Again, the music was amazing -- I just wish the overall experience matched the talent on stage.

I have been to DROM many times, primarily to support and see my client Lizzie Thomas a.k.a. Lizzie is a jazz singer perform. Being part of Lizzie's team enabled me to go backstage and really get a feel for the venue. The glam room is cute. The staff Is friendly, the lighting is very sexy and makes the performer and their band or team looked really great on stage. You could either "dine in" or sit at the bar to Enjoy the show.

East Village, Manhattan · 39 reviews

The bar is so so, the stage is also so so, but the volume of concert/sound is so high that you can hear only distortion of music. And you know what? They sell earplugs on entrance, like they know about the problem. No any fun from music or place after all.

Lower East Side, Manhattan · 134 reviews

Very posh place hidden on the Bowery near (or in)Chinatown. Went to see my friend Jimmy Gnecco perform (who is actually coming back again soon) and you just might see an A-list celebrity or two on some nights. the sound was great,so was the food. I heard the drinks were very pricey and the accommodations. But still a great place to see a show thanks to Scott. Looking forward to coming back again.

West Village, Manhattan · 859 reviews

Booked a solo trip for a few days and this was my last night here and I wanted to go out and experience the nightlife to some good music and a nice bite and found this place for an R&B event and amidst the poor reviews I gave it a chance and yall it did not disappoint. From the entrance to exit was a smooth experience, I was so scared coming here but I'm glad I trusted myself to at least see for myself. I ordered the juicy rum punch (fire) and was good the rest of the night the calamari is so good! But the DJ?! I need his info because I'd love to connect. That guy can rocks. Also, my server JAY?!? So amazing. He took care of Eid me the entire night. As a black woman existing in the world alone and traveling alone, it was a breath of fresh air to just feel safe and still feel enough to express myself in a way that feels received and not rejected. Thank you for helping me fill my cup before returning to work/school I WILL BE BACK!
