Warsaw? What a joke!

by holden_smith

Doors at 7 huh? How about 7:50 waiting in the snow? Yeah, that's Warsaw. i couldn't figure out if I was in New York or Poland. Worst sound system I've ever heard and by the most inept front of house sound guys I've ever had the displeasure to have to listen to. Upon closer srutiny, I could hear several speakers either heavily distorting or blown completely. The band couldn't hear the monitors. There was feedback on stage and in the house. The food made me sick. The drinks so weak, I had to spend $60 just to get a slight buzz. The glasses where dirty. The staff, rude and unitelligble with thick Polish accents. I thought I was at a gulag rather than a rock show. Warsaw? Yeah, this is how I thought it would be like in Poland. What a joke! A Polish joke. Avoid this venue like the plague.

• Pros: Uh, none.
• Cons: Bad food, drinks, staff & sound

Great space, bad vibe

by susanchenelle_citysearch

The ballroom is a great space, and often hosts great acts--from Jello Biafra to Amon Tobin to the Butchies--but the sound and lighting systems suck, the security people are rude and obtrusive, and the bar staff can be nice, but is often not, and pours some of the weakest (though also cheapest) drinks you'll ever have.

• Pros: Great events
• Cons: Poor treatment, Bad sound

Amateur Night?

by theWanderer

The sound here stinks and its too bad because it's a great location, and they've been getting some really good bands lately. Also, no smoking at a Rock concert? C'mon! Combine that with the gymnasium ambience and crappy sound; it's like being at a junior high-school dance.

Northsix is a much better place to see a show in Williamsburg.

• Pros: Good Bands, Good Crowd
• Cons: Sound, No Smoking
