don't go here unless you really love the band

by AWR

The staff here is really unprofessional. I went here for Primal Scream over a week ago. I was on the band's guest list. We missed the first two songs because I had to wait in a line that went all the way past Public Assembly. despite this, there was only one guy checking the list and giving tickets. The band started playing while there was still a huge line out front.

Then I ordered drinks downstairs and this b*tchy girl bartender was super slow in serving us and refilling even though there was only a few people at the bar. Then she shorted my friend on a double whiskey (he's tended bar he knows) and I asked her to top it off. She gave me a snippy answer, so asked her if she was having a bad day. So I asked for the bill and didn't tip. Then she went to the bouncers and asked that they flag me and my two friends. Keep in mind I wasn't raving or anything. All I did was ask her for a decent drink. Yeah, avoid this place unless you really, really dig the band.

• Pros: sound was ok, just ok
• Cons: gheetto staff

Yeah, but the bathroom was clean. and you know, there was plenty of room to sell t-shirts and other forms of merch.

• Pros: yup
• Cons: too many steps

I'll be back soon

I love that Brooklyn has it's own version of Bowery Ballroom. The sound is great, a bar on every level and the staff was quick and attentive. It even has stadium seating in the back of the top balcony to allow for better viewing from above! The old grain belt marquee is an especially great touch outside. A perfect place to watch a show.
