If you enjoy the night life and listen to electronic music this place is f...... awesome. I have had the great pleasure to see some amazing artists here and there is enough space for you to dance here. The sound reverb is perfect I felt like I was listening to the artists crystal clear. If you walk up to the upstairs bathroom you can see the whole room.

First experience at Elsewhere is Brooklyn and what a show Devin Kennedy put on! Everything was perfect- the lighting, the sound, Devin’s energy and original music, how accommodating the venue was to musicians, the energy of the crowd and the love flowing from them to the stage and back, and the professionalism, artist appreciation attitude, kindness and efficiency of Elsewhere’s staff (particularly Sasha the amazing bodyguard/bouncer/protector/ who was there for the musicians, the crowd, the venue). And that was the warm up act!!! It was only fate that Jeff Bernat and Devin Kennedy would choose to tour together as they both wowed the crowd with beautiful, original music that had the audience dancing and singing. Both gave more than 100 percent and the evening was amazing, lit with hundreds of pinpoints of light, held by swaying arms and the harmony of an audience that knew every lyric. It simply doesn’t get better than this.

Good venue but frustratingly and inexplicably does not post set times on the website EVEN THOUGH they have the information posted at the venue itself. I emailed and checked all socials for the info... nothing. The deliberate choice to leave patrons guessing in the hopes that they will capture people for more time to sell overpriced drinks is disgusting and antithetical to the ethos of music. FYI if the ticket says doors at 8, then the main act will be on at 10. I will never come back to this place until they change this policy which is too bad because I really liked it.

Great lighting and sound, definitely looking forward to coming back here to see more live music

Excellent venue! They have 2 halls and a rooftop available for concerts and performances. I saw Destruction and Nervosa in the smaller hall and had a blast! An intimate space with great sound and their wristband set up to order and pay for drinks at the bar is a very smooth process. All in all an enjoyable experience.

The music was awesome, however I got shocked when had to share the restroom with men. Well, girls, no more fixing your tights or make up. Guys will surround you in the bathroom, it’s dirty and gross, generally… They call it “gender neutral” restroom. I think it didn’t pass the exam…it’s just about saving money. I’m disappointed.

Great venue for shows depending on the crowd. Drinks are small and overpriced. If you like straight liquor then that’s the better option because all mixed drinks just taste like alcohol. Be aware that if you are bringing any personal items that can’t go into the venue, security will pocket it and pretend like they don’t know what happened. Unfortunately this has happened to me multiple times, there is no point in emailing staff or following up because they will get nasty with you. I went to a show two days ago that ended at 4 am, I always carry with me at least something for self defense and as I had predicted, security “lost it”. No point in contacting them via email because they never respond.

Nice disco ball and acoustics. However, people are vaping and smoking indoors even though there’s a courtyard for smoking. Very little seating so be prepared to stand the whole 3 hours of the music set. Bathroom is okay. Overall good place for small bands/shows.

Great Venue with TERRIBLE Stage Lighting - Went to the Hot Water Music, Strike Anywhere, Be Well show and the sound was about average for a music venue in nyc but the lights were just horrible. Couldn't see the bands at all half of the time and when you could it was all from the back. with the advent of LED's the lighting in venues has gotten worse instead of better.... Please - the crowd would like to see the band.... otherwise, size, location, entry process, everything else was really good
