Very small venue, probably around 200-300 people max capacity. Went to a very intimate concert for VNV Nation and loved it. The sound was okay, there were a few issues while they were performing and they had stop half way through the set to fix the sound monitors. Other than that the show went smoothly and all the crew were very nice.
Went to Knitting Factory for the first time since it moved to Brooklyn & had a blast at their French House event.The staff (including security) is super friendly, music is dope & drinks are reasonably priced; its a bit of a younger crowd but they werent sloppy or obnoxious so it didnt detract from the vibe at all -- Ill def be back!
Fun venue, I enjoyed my time here. There is a coat check though I’m not sure if it requires cash or not. I wore a really light coat when I came to one of their Halloween shows. It’s a nice indoor venue and everyone around seemed to be having fun. I liked the show I went to.
I’m giving this place 2 stars because of the music and the great vibes inside. But be wary of of the short Spanish stocky security guard… he physically assaulted me be grabbing my drink out my hand and shoving me outside for refusing to pay to use the bathroom. I’m being serious, stay AWAY from that dude. If you are inside the venue and need to use the bathroom, do NOT step into the lobby they will try and harass you for a cover fee. Since everybody there was white, I’m going to assume that the security did not want people of my complexion inside their business. Which says a LOT
Really nice and cozy. Great sound quality. Only thing would be nice for sitting area and a more frequent coat check option.
Nice staff. Expensive cans of beer. How do they get the whole back area to smell like a bathroom? Overall not a bad space.
One of the few instagram ads ive seen that fully deliveredGreat range of synth music, conveniently close to the L subway. Good size venue. Thank you to the staff for letting me make balloon hearts all night haha.
Had a ton of fun at the knitting factory seeing a band. The front part of the bar is really cool also, its entirely separate from the band room. The bartenders were very friendly and were attentive to who is standing there waiting for a beverage. I would definitely return here and am keeping an eye out to see what other bands I like will be a playing there. Its very close to the pod hotel which is in walking distance which was very convenient also.
Great venue! Went to see a friends show and would love to go back. There’s a bar in the stage room as well as a separate one. All the staff I interacted with were really nice and prices were fine.
Great venue for seeing bands. Just big enough to be where there is no bad seat and you always get the up close experience. Parking is easy to find in the neighborhood and theres great tacos next door and pizza across the street. Love this place!
Nice place to have a few drinks. Saw merkules and golden bsp on their #specialoccasion tour. Stage area is spacious.
Great place for concerts and parties! Two different areas, the stage or dancefloor, but also a more chill area where you can have a drink and chat! Ideal to hang out with friends that sometimes you dont know exactly what your mood will be! They also throw amazing parties once a month, called Take me out, where everyone dances until 4am!
Big shout out to the staff. especially the female security lady. she helped me find my phone . saved me a ton of money. this place is great. especially a great vibe ... music... comedy... the bartender was on point. security was respectful. i had a great 2 nights at the KNIT !!!! rock on !!!
Would be great if the bouncers cared at all what happened to other people careful if you get into problems here
Awesome musicians but not my kind of place. My favorite musicians was Elephant Tusks and Christine Sweeney And The Dirty Stayouts! They were phenomenal! I recommend coming here if you love to drink and seeing great musicians!
Security a ok, the event section in the back was awesome, the fronts hospitality sucked
We had been meaning to check out some of the live music shows here but didnt find an opportunity until this New years eve. We wanted something low-key yet fun to do for NYE , without the crazy awful crowds everywhere in Manhattan.The bands performing were Nothing, Weekend and another which we didnt know. Both the ones mentioned were amazing. The acoustics was perfect, the lighting left a little more to be desired as we couldnt see the faces of the band members mostly ! Drinks were priced very reasonably, bartenders were great, drinks were not watered down like at most places. Overall, couldnt have asked for a better way to spend NYE, especially if you live in the area
Went to a dance party there and it was super fun. Have to show proof of vaxx which made me feel super comfortable being around ppl. Female security guard was really nice! And I was allowed to bring in my own food which was really convenient!Only thing I wish they had was a coat check.other than that was super fun! Will go again!
So much fun. I’m a comedian from Chicago and performed on the Sunday night show with Marie and Syndee. The two hosts. They were hilarious. The show was hilarious. The vibe is awesome. A MUST SEE SUNDAY NIGHT SHOW!
Security dude was cool AF.I saw GHOSTMANE & FREEWILL. The show was lit and I chilled out front with some of the performers.Brooklyn heads are cool.
Incredible show with Vale of Pnath and Obscura. Staff was really nice and the Long Island iced tea was delicious and not weak!
One of the cooler smaller venues Ive been to. Its got a bar up front - so for those who havent bought tickets to the show but want to enjoy a drink and the view of the stage, you,can hang out out there. Theres another bar in the GA / stage area. I gave it 4 stars because it was a great overall vibe. I didnt give it 5 stars because the sound guys couldnt get it right. Opening band, you werent able to hear the singer and the drums were overpowering. The headliner had multiple band members ask to adjust their in ear monitor s ok und, bass sound and click track throughout different stages of the show. It is, after all, a concert venue.
Wish they had more metal shows throughout the year, its a great venue where you get to interact with most of the performers,drink prices are fair and their staff is friendly and efficient.If theres no events their front bar is always open where you can have some drinks and listen to good music with friends.
First time and I was impressed. This venue was extremely diverse and versitile. Drinks were farely priced, staff was friendly and organized. I had a night I will never forget full of incredible memories and honestly, I cant wait to go back. Comical bathroom graffiti photo to follow:
Saw some of my besties perform, bartenders were cool
Place was awesome people were great we had a great time
Dope spot for shows drinks and great atmosphere
Came here for a concert! Great venue, decent drink prices and acoustics. My only complaint us there isnt much room in the sidewalk to talk or smoke.
Nice place for live music, conveniently located: near of a train station, in front of a minimart.Went to see Agent Orange, Fea and other two bands [Sat., Aug, 18th] for $20. Sound was good.
Cool place with a great mix of ppl. The bar upfront is great for chilling at
Had a wonderful time going to this place the past few weekends. The manager Tiana is very wonderful. Bartenders have been great. The security is very professional. Overall a great place. They always have something going on
Knitting Factory is dope for holding Hardcore shows. Follow Lord of Emotion on all apps/platforms
Good spot for random shows. Fairly priced admission for the area and the beers arent overpriced like the bigger venues.
Good place for parties and needs to be kept alive!
A great place especially if you know someone and can get in for free. Not too big and nice and dark. Drinks are very expensive like 20 bucks a shot! There are two sections the main bar area and the other more spacious main venue with a stage for concerts and performances. You can also rent the space for private parties and events. Meet some interesting people hear some good music have a few 20 dollar shots.
This place is awesome! Went to see Spencer Sutherland last night. The people were so nice. Love the setup, with the bar in front and the stage in the back room. The sound was great. After the show, they didn’t rush you out. We hung out in front waiting for the act to come out. The bounces were so nice to us. There’s restaurants everywhere, found a spot around the corner. Definitely a cool place to hang out!
Had a great time, the drinks are cheap and the venue was really intimate!
Great venue! Super easy to find, in a great location (there is a pizza place across the street which is prime). They card, of course, but they let you in as long as you are 18 and they give you a wrist band so you cant drink. The bar was great but prices were a little steep, like $9 for a rum and coke. They also have a $10 minimum for cards so you will have to leave your tab open. There is a gender neutral restroom and it was clean enough. Overall, great experience.
This is a great venue with awesome acoustics and plenty of standing room to see the stage. The staff at security and the bar were all so friendly. I’m hoping to come back here for another show soon.
Awesome place to bring your family or friends to hang out. The events are amazing as well!
One of the most authentic Venues in Brooklyn! For both: Performers & Party Goers.Staff is respectful vibe is live!
Such a classic venue for underground bands. Good food options nearby too.
I began going to the Knitting Factory in 2019 pre COVID and found the place to be my favorite place to go to in Williamsburg. The staff are all nice and treat you with respect. I especially like the fact that they enforce all of the COVID regulations by making sure people show proper identification and valid proof of vaccination which makes me feel comfortable going there. I speak with the staff there and truly appreciate how the Manager Tiana Greets all the people and knows many of the visitors by name which says a lot. It shows me that she values the people who come to spend their time and money at the place enough to get to know them on a more Personal level. It is for these reasons and more that I have decided to write this review and recommend this spot to anyone.
Speakers are old with broken sound. Not liking it.
Great venue. Small in size but everyone gets a good view if there is live music there. In a nice spot. Drinks werent too horrible. Id definitely see another show here.
Great spot for smaller shows. Drinks are reasonably priced and all staff are extremely friendly. The place has a really neat setup with a bar up front and a separate room for shows behind it.
Ahh see a band 2 bars great place to hang
We went on the spur of the moment just to watch some bands we never heard of. We werent disappointed. Great little venue with a good atmosphere. The beer was a bit pricey and the barman a bit more interested in his girlfriend than us, but I dont blame him.
Went to see my friends’ performance there in their music space. The balance and sound was not good and I could barely understand what the singer was singing. The space itself was pretty nice as it wasn’t too packed. Just wish that they could make the sound system better.
Embarrassing venue to be honest. People running this place have no idea what they’re doing. A verbal argument broke out during the show I was at between two men across the room from me and instead of handling it directly with them, the owners turned the lights on and kicked everyone out and shut the entire show down. Definitely nothing I’ve ever seen before at any venue anywhere. I’ll never be back. Drinks are overpriced too.
Came here on a Sunday night with my roommate for the comedy show. The hosts are funny women. The bar doesnt serve food but they let you bring it your own (The place next door has really good Mexican food).We really enjoyed ourselves and I will be coming back again.
Good place but when they are holding a concert the bouncer was a real a******. They wouldnt let my friend in with the ticket from the event. So he had to stay on the bar side. Other than that it was pretty lit though. Make sure your ontime
The sound-system is great, the people are great, the space is wide and the lights are nice. You cant ask for much more from a music venue. Just walk right in and enjoy the show with no annoyances. One of my favorite venues in the city.
Nice venue, very chill space, enjoyed the DJ’s spinning that night
Great venue to see emerging bands or more intimate shows with large bands. There are no balconies or huge stadium floors here, just a solid music bar that has a decent sized space for around 300 people. Service at the bar can understandably get crazy when shows are packed but the bartenders are friendly.
Awesome venue for dirty punk and cheap pbr...I used to see the Butcher Knives here all the time when I lived down the street. the venue is more or less a typical rock spot but they have a great lineup and a regular bar outside the stage bar if you need to chill for a while
Small venue with great acoustics and a great bar separated from the listening room
Awesome place! We went to see The Happy Fits! Was a nice small intimate place! Had an awesome stage that you could get right up to and touch! No parking on the premises but we found a garage less then a block and a half away! Overall great experience!
No stools or chairs in stage area to sit and watch performances. Standing room only.Crowds of all kind was nice to see.Danny the man at the door was very cordial and sweet. $20 cover for the whole night is decent. Drinks super expensive. The bar separated from the stage is really cool to chill and just relax in. It has a bar inside too. Overall good experience. The mosh pit ppl seemed like they were really aware of themselves and never left the circle as hard as they moshed. In my day, moshing was all over the place and EVERYONE got hit, lol.
Went to see an all-female line-up. The headliner, Joyelle, was appropriately titled because she was flawless. Loved the hosts too! Wasnt sure if we were supposed to check in. Made reservations online. We just took a seat. Fun night. Lots of comediennes over 2 hours.
Intimate venue but a bit on the smaller side. The sound was great.
Great small venue with a nice bar to hang at while waiting for show. Sound is usually on point for the headliners but there has been a serious issue with sound for almost every opener I have seen here and I have been to a lot of shows here.
Went here for Emo Night on 2/8/19. The venue was cool for the music but expect a bunch of jerks to be working there. The only people who were nice was one of the bartenders and one of the bouncers. Everyone else had attitude or was rude for absolutely no reason. Especially the guy at coat check. If it wasn’t for the events they had there I would never go back because of the people who work here.
This is actually a pretty great space to see a band. I believe it only holds a couple of hundred people, which makes it great for seeing your favorite bands pretty much face to face. Theres a nice selection of beer and the crowd is usually okay, though sliding toward the unhip. If you sit in the bar you can watch the antics through soundproof glass, and though you wont hear the performance youll save yourself the (usually perfectly reasonable) cover charge.
Even though they have good shows, I have ever been in a place where they treat costumers they way they do there. Very rude and insensitive. We took my friend’s 12 year old niece so she can see our friend’s band and her first concert, we understood that tickets were sold out but they didn’t treat us with the respect we deserved and they were very mean. I went inside the venue to try to find someone to help us and the space was far away of being full, plenty of space inside, I’ve seen that place more packed. This is not the first time I’ve been there and I have a bad experience with the people that work there. That place sucks! and the people who works there too!
When they book well - its REALLY great and all the. bands have a cohesive feel unlike most venues that book a headliner maybe with an opener theyre on tour with and whoever is available then ends up thrown into the mix and its probably only noticeable to anyone whos at a few shows around the city or BK a week but otherwise most wouldnt notice or be bothered by itrarely complain about drink prices but they really push it charging $9 for 1 drink and might of all venues uses the grossest well whiskey that idk who can even pretend to drink because the awful taste..just to add salt to the wound of the steep priceeveryone working are great and always helpful / friendly and havent once had an issue HOWEVER ive seen several individuals have issues including bands who just played being not allowed back in after walking out to put gear away etc and try to walk back inside to have a door person get into a HUGE argument that begins with the individual being reasonable and explaining the situation yet apparently if you play but forget to grab one of the holy paper wristbands from inside - its been a zero tolerance type thing that escalates into massive arguments outside since in all honesty its ridiculous and never a situation or environment where bending that little rule will have no negative impact or even slightly from as I said only being an observer and if anything- the door person should at least have an explanation or why theyre being irrational because it comes off just absurd and gives a bad impression of an otherwise good venueyou can see the live music space and bands playing without a ticket also (no sound though) -through the glass wall behind the connected side room that functions as a standalone bar. Kinda neat if only hanging out at the bar
Is both a bar (the front) and a music club (the back, which you can actually see through glass behind the bar). small music and comedy acts are usually booked here. good light and sound setup. moderately stocked bar, $10 card minimum. easy access to the L train, and is near several open-late food places.a late Saturday night show had doors open at 10:30pm, the first act starting around 11:15, and the headlining act starting at midnight. set times were posted at the box office
We went out for the comedy night on Sunday, and it was the best time. First off, they let you bring in your own food, which was clutch for us! We came in early, grabbed some seats and hung out til the show started. By then, the place was PACKED, and we were glad wed come early. The women who host this comedy night are SO bomb. They are hilarious and bring a variety of other acts to the stage. We laughed until we were exhausted. A perfect way to end our night.
I frequent this place often. New artists and some old school faves play here. If you like indie rock, check the lineup often. Sunday has comedy. All there are two bars so if you need a break from music or dont want to pay, just get drinks and hang out.
Fun Brooklyn NY live music venue with 2 bars and a few good places to eat nearby. @spitphyreband
Small venue in the back with a full bar close to the stage. Very nice front room with full bar as well. Have to give absolutely wonderful score to the staff everybody is Happy helpful friendly and make you feel very comfortable.
They shouldve had a more experienced DJ for playing old skool hip hop music. the crowd should not hear the same song twice during a set in my opinion but..I had a pretty good time🤷♂️
I have managed concerts for many years. The back room was rented by a promoter. We did not want to spend 20 at the door for a band we hadnt reviewed. The bouncer IDed us courteously and directed us to the front room to grab a drink and watch the performance through the window of the bar to decide. I have fired security in the padt for Not doing this. The bar was lacking some specialty items. Yet I myself would have hired the bouncer and bartender for offering other options and finding ways to entertain.
Free stand-up on Sun nights is unpredictable in quality/tastefulness but generally very funny. Be sure to arrive early (like 7 pm) if you actually want to sit (theres only 8-10 chairs). Otherwise, most people just stand for the show. Beer is decently priced, though on the night we were there, all taps were down and they wouldnt give me a glass for my bottled beer.
HIDDEN GEM IN THE CITY!!!So my wife and I were finally able to secure a babysitter for the evening and we had nowhere to go on a Sunday... I actually googled and found this place to be a great comedy club AND it was free... And even though we live in the Bronx, we figured wed have nothing to lose...and at the very least, we could spend some time together... BIG SURPRISE... The place was packed!!! And the crowd wasnt just diverse, but they were OPEN, if that makes any sense... I mean, Im 42 and my wife is 33, and we never felt awkward in any way... Standing room only... The comedy ranges from pretty funny to just entertaining, but the environment, the drink (that is NOT REQUIRED for you to purchase), and the people are TOP NOTCH!!! Well be back!!!
If you know what youre getting into, this is a great venue. What youre getting into: a small intimate concert hall in Williamsburg. Great view and opportunity to interact with smaller bands at a reasonably low price. Theres a bar in the concert area, but theres also a separate bar with a windowed view into the concert area if you dont want to be too close or you want to have a conversation. The catches (in quotes cause if you know what youre getting into, these will be expected) are that it can be very loud, the drinks are a liiitle more expensive, and the coat check will take forever if you dont get into line quickly.
I was there for the debut of crypsis. The show was off the wall, some of the best i have had in a long time.
Been here a couple of times. Once just for drinks in the middle of a Saturday which had a fun crowd. People playing board games and the bartenders were fun and engaging. Went another Sunday night for stand up with Hannibal Buress. Cant complain about a free show and although it was packed, the bartenders still knew what they were doing and service was great.
Small indie venue where diehards can find their niche acts playing, or where new fans can sneak in and get a taste of the live show experience.Drinks are serviceable. Bathrooms are functional. Dont expect miracles, just no nonsense.
Was supposed to go to the legendary House of Yes, however couldnt get in and came here for the night and it was well worth the visit. Good space to dance, drinks were super cheap, 4 whisky sours $28.
I Loved my friends performance but not the sound system. The knitting Factory always had a gritty look back when it was in the city. And keeping true to that fashion, the place is dark, and has a backstage feel more than a traditional performance space.Again, the acts that they bring and some of the DJd events are extremely talented. I almost feel like any underground artist definitely sees the knitting factory as a bonus to have on their musical and comedic resume. I can agree with that notion.However, get some better lighting and sound, clean up the space a bit because cmon its the knitting factory, you all have longevity, and you can find the finances to invest back into the beautification of the place. 🤷🏾♀️ Just what Id do both as the manager/events coordinator and as a patron.
Went to see a show (Caleb Hawley) and the venue is both intimate, yet cozy enough to feel like you can be close to the performer while also having your personal space.Be warned: Bouncer is a bit verbally combative at the end of the night.
Great sound system. The bar has a window to the main performance space allowing you to view the performance but escape to quieter pastures. Good beer selection at the bar.
I love to go here for shows, and have been here several times to see some great music - but its a bit far from any public transportation (which feels even longer in the winter), so Ive always had to take a cab. Worth it, though - the bar is great and the quality of the productions are always excellent.
Nice place for concerts. Nice clean bar and great drinks
Went here for a disco event, free with RSVP however showed up late and accepted the fact of a cover. However once at the door the little angry man said that there were no more tickets and i was told to sit at the bar. A few moments later another party purchased tickets and i just didnt understand why. This little man was very angry and was having a bad day. The cover was originally $10 however he amped up the price. #angryman
Really good sound! Easy to order drinks and very large stag. Super friendly staff and chairs for chilling behind the dance floor too!
The venue is small but overall nice atmosphere.
Went on a Sunday night for comedy. Although the comedians were good, I wont be back. It was a very uptight and odd scene in the audience. I felt like I was suddenly at a college frat party listening to gangsta rap and trying not to have someone spill beer on my feet. Why?
Solid venue with a fun / well-laid out main stage. Decent acts and convenient location from L or even G and JM stops.Books big names and not-so-big names. Ive had many friends play that stage!
Great live music venue!!!!
Honestly one of my favorite venues. This spot holds a special place in my heart the same way bowery ballroom does. All these great bands at amazing prices in cozy quarters.
I was invited here by a friend who had two tickets to Afropunk. I had never been before and I fully enjoyed myself. The bar/venue is separated in two by what seems like sound proof glass/ wall. The front end has a bar with good music and the back has a bar, stage and nice dancing/viewing area. The Knitting Factory was overall very nice. As for the event by Afropunk (sponsored by Zumiez and Fender), it went off very well. Great mix of genres battling it out. I think what struck me most about the event was the mix of races and people from all walks of life, in one room, enjoying themselves. People enjoying rap/trap one second, and rock/metal the next...I didnt see that coming. But it was refreshing. I highly recommend The Knitting Factory Brooklyn!!!! I will be returning here soon.
This was my first time finally visiting this joint and I had such a great time. Nice staff, cheap drinks, very fun music! Absolutely loved it. Definitely going back.
Best experience ever watching singer-songwriter Heather Larose perform original music!
If you love live music, come here. Lots of new bands to see, the beer is good too. There is a sign outside to tell you who is playing. All ages are there and stays open late.
The sound was poor at the concert. The bands constantly asked for more sound in their monitors. Because of this, each band took 10-15 min to setup. In the end when they played, I could barely hear the vocals :(
Cool spot with the venue in the back & the bar in the front. I really like the setup and the staff were all very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back & highly recommended!
This place has a good choice of draft and canned beer. Definitely will come back here again. Dance section in the back was actually a good size.
While their taps are unimpressive, they do have a good and interesting selection of bottled and canned beers. The music can be quite good, as it is one of the long standing rock venues in Brooklyn.
Had a great time seeing Black Water Rising and Texas Hippie Coalition.
Neat little venue. None of the hassle of larger venues like Terminal Five. Out of the ordinary and unheard of acts and also some headliners. Big bar in the front with plexiglass that lets you see right through to the venue and the performers.
Price of drinks not ideal but the backroom has a lot of great indie dance parties that make the visit here worthwhile.
Nice smallish venue for shows & a large bar in the front w/glass back wall to see into the show area. Cool place!😎
Nice venue a d good sound from the stage. I saw Devon Terrell here.
Nice intimate venue! Great for seeing local artist performing on any given night. Up close and personal feel! Awesome bar staff and delicious cocktails.
One of if not my favorite venue in the city. Great vibes, staff, food and sound. Small and intimate. What more could you ask for.
Went for the Sunday comedy showed and loved it! The show was great, the drinks were reasonably priced, and in a cool location! Whats not to love?
Not a bad venue for music, a bit on the cramp side. Bar is very low key with a nice calm ambience. Sound system for the music venue was a bit lacking on power.
Wasnt a huge fan of the DJs choices all the time. But it was a cool vibe. Not too crowded for the crowd. More reasonably priced drinks than some places in Williamsburg
The Knitting factory is a great venue to see local bands perform. Its a small, intimate, dimly lit venue, and the acoustics are also good. The only concern would be that since its located on a city block it might be a bit tough to find a parking spot nearby.
This was the worse place I ever been to for a concert and I have been to many over the years. All four bands had to have them adjust their sound through out the show and then they had to end it early on the main act. I would never recommend this place to anyone.
Great small place. Amazing atmosphere... Loved it!!!
Ive been able to enjoy the Knitting factory on many occasions. They always have up and coming artists and always are able to put on a great show! They have a multi-faceted event space that they put to good use for multiple events in one night! That is pretty great and increases diversity.
This place was awesome. Nice open space, the stage was up high so I could actually see the bands playing. Im only 5 tall so thats a plus for me.
A chill down to Earth venue for music. I came here twice for the Old School Dubstep event. The stage and acoustics are solid and make for great bass.
Awesome shows and venue. However, main room gets too hot in there. I like heat on in venues but that was hard to breathe in.
Fun place to rock out and see your favorite band or whoever perform I would recommend coming here early depending on what time the performers are performing its worth it but if you cant handle small space I wouldnt recommend it.
A relatively small venue, the Knitting Factory is a fun locale for rock concerts. I just attended the final show of Japandroids 2016 tour, which was a total blast.The Knitting Factory is very relaxed with security, after youve been checked once. Crowdsurfing is not only prevalent, but encouraged.The location has a small but strong selection of beers and what seemed to be a full bar.
This is a nice small venue. They kicked us out while talking to the artist shortly after the performance, which is kind of annoying. Overall it was a good time.
Jonathan mcreynolds concert was thhheeeee best.. But place is small, get there early if you want to be in front smooshed . still but in the front at least. N bring a snack. Cuz you might be standing all night lol
Went to a #LIVECONCERT and @DREAMCASTMCFLY was performed a lit concert. He even had the crowd lit af! Come by and enjoy live independant artists and their new take on #Music. Come #Rave with us and get carried away in the #MoshPit #YOUWONTBEDISAPPOINTED
The worst sound I ever heard in my life! Extremely rude bartenders making you feel like you owe them. We had rsvp’s but they made us wait outside on freezing cold. Like what?!This whole place makes zero sense. UGLY and DISGUSTING. Don’t bother.
Good concert venue. The bar has a view of the stage through windows, which was pretty cool. Good beer selection for a concert hall.
The Knitting Factory is an amazing music venue with a really diverse artists passing through. Beer and drinks are average for the city. The music is almost always worth the price of admission.
Small venue and bar so its pretty intimate. Really good selection of drinks. Really good performances. I really like this place.
Great long-standing NY concert and entertainment venue. Check out the Sunday night comedy show. Top notch performances and good vibes
Good music comes through here frequently. Check the site each week. The space itself is average at best, and drinks are fair. Overall, not gonna complain.
I came here for a screening of the banksy film exit thru the gift shop. we squeaked in even though there were no more seats to be had and really enjoyed watching the film. the concept of this place is great with the separated bar with a viewing pane of glass. not sure the vibe would be able to touch the crowded in, building might burn down feeling of the old knitting factory, but ... at least theres still some semblance of the old landmark in the lineup that gets booked here.
Amazing atmosphere. Went there to see a feminist stand-up show and it was hilarious. Staff are super friendly. You should come!
KF is a lot of fun, but it needs to fix some stuff.Get a new sound board. Jesus.Cheaper beer. Brooklyn Lager is not $8.Mop your dang floors. It switches from sticky to slick, which is so bad for dancing.
Awesome space to hear your favorite underground band perform. The front bar features TV Party! And Double Feature! on Monday and Tuesday nights!
Nice venue. Even provided free water!
The staff is really rude. From the woman and men at the entrance to the bartender who almost threw some plastic glasses to me and my 12 years old because we where near the trash can without noticing it. Did not like the vibes of the people working there.
Dope venue! Went for a 2000s hip hop nite
Great small venue. Ive loved every show here and the bartenders are usually nice too
One of my favorite spots in the city to catch a concert. Big Nantes adds local bands! One of my top venues ever
Decent venue for good music & to have a few drinks, if so inclined. Enjoy meeting up with friends.
Venue was small but comfortable, the staff is very professional, definitely a place to be if your favorite artist is performing there
Oh, Knitting Factory. After seeing a gazillion shows when it was in Manhattan, the new space cant help but feel like a little bit of a letdown. The booking is great, and sound system is pretty stellar, but the boxy room is just awkward, and the bar area up front seems to always fill up with an obnoxious crowd. Fortunately, the sound is pretty protected.
Great small venue. Good drink specials. They get a good variety of acts coming through.
It was a dope experience for my first time in NYC. Heres a photo of thouxanban Fauni. Its also great and diverse spot for drinking and fun. I highly recommend
I was here for Hannibal Buresss Sunday night comedy showcase. The drinks were reasonably priced but be warned theres a $10 card limit. The comedy show was free and I got to see really funny people. Since Hannibal worked on SNL for so long he has lots of funny friends that drop in. On my visit I saw Moshe Kasher and Natasha Leggero.
We had a great experience going to the Kitting Factory and seeing a show! They let you wait in a bar area before the show starts if you want.
Awesome sound, great service, good beer selection and coat check! Go here. Whatever night it is the music will not disappoint.
Very friendly, professional, and respectful staff! In one night I noticed security appropriately and kindly tend to three different guests that needed aid from drinking too much.
Great venue for shows. Mixing was just a little bit questionable when I went but that could definitely been fixed since.
Love this place. The bartenders are amazing and nice, except for one who gave me a bit of an attitude. Nice place to hang out and watch comedy or watch a band.
Great place for comedy and live shows. Also stop by for comedy night during the week, its free and generally a cool vibe.
Really fun, lots of good bands but full disclosure, youre gonna feel like youre in an urban outfitters lookbook while youre there
Pretty solid concert hall and bar. Drinks are a little pricey, but to be expected when in New York and at a venue of any kind.
Been to a few concerts here and the staff is very friendly. Bartender was very kind. Clean bathroom, however very dark. Has a very edgy look to it.
Great place. Bartender was awesome. Will definitely go there for free comedy shows on Sunday
Great spot to catch a show. Well laid-out venue. Drink prices are reasonable.
Kool place, pretty clean and so was there bathroom .
The Knitting Factory has some of New Yorks best up and coming talent. Keep in mind that it will get crowded in this Tribeca to Williamsburg concert venue. The doormen are some of the most efficient and funny Ive ever encountered. Hannibal Buress hosts a Sunday night comedy show thats FREE and worth going to. Get there around 8pm if you want good seats!
Very small venue, good if you dont like huge crowds.
Fun venue, expensive drinks, 6 dollar pbr
Dancing to the rhythm of the music was so fun everyone was having fun! The DJs were so good with an awesome vibe that was contagious...simply loved it 😁😁😁
This venue is a diamond in the rough. I love the scenery, small and intimate, and the staff and bartenders are great!
Great venue for small concerts, you can see live shows from the bar.
Great place to enjoy live music.... Saturday nights are good to if you like to party
Mother Feather show last night was awesome! Great sound system and really good sound guy last night.
You can find random good bands at this place any night of the week. There is also a bar that is separate from the performance space.
Ive been here at least 3 times to see Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and I cant wait to go back!
Drinks were decently priced and the vibes were great. Love coming here on Saturday nights ^_^
Great venue!
Great venue for live music and comedy. Front of the bar is good for watching football.
Pretty decent concert space and a separated bar area that you can still see the performances from.
AMAZING!!! ESPECIALLY WITH THE CONCERT I SAW THIS EVENING!!! I LOVE THE INTIMACY OF THE VENUE AND THE STAFF WAS FANTASTIC!!! I WOULD GO AGAIN AND I AM GOING AGAIN!!!!ANTHONY BROWN & GROUP THERAPY W/SPECIAL GUEST JONATHAN MCREYNOLDS...TURNT IT UP & OUT!!! #BLESSINGSONBLESSINGS #SECONDWIND #BOBBOUNCE #WORTH #IGOTTHAT #REAL #IWILLTRUSTYOU #CYCLES #MAKEROOM #IMNOTLUCKYIMLOVED
Nice, small theater. Best to get there early for the best view if the stage.
Not a bad venue for a show. They horribly mismanaged the coat check. I waited over an hour for my jacket the other night.
Great Venue, amazing show. Nothing better than good beer and great atmosphere.
Cool gig. Shame that the vocalist couldnt be heard because of her microphone volume being too low #livemusic #concert #standingroomonly
Great venue to see a live show. Bartenders very friendly and efficient.
Comedy at the knit on Sundays is a must see. The girls are hilarious 🤣
Lovely venue with great bands amd two awesome bars
The bartender was a little mean to my friend and I but the deathcore concert in the back was amazing!
One of the better small venues. Great place for a metal show.
Excellent venue, my experience covering both performing seeing performances.
Great intimate venue
Awesome margaritas !!! Nice staff, saw a show, had a great time. Felt safe!!
Wonderful night club / bar with dance floor, always nice stuff, great DJs.
Cool venue with a great vibe. Drink prices not terrible as far as Williamsburg goes.
As an avid live music fan I enjoy shows at the Knitting Factory. Staff is helpful and the place has good sound.
Good time and good music . Then everyone is talking with the bands. Fun place.
Sunday comedy clubs are the best. Some funny comedians and the host is pretty funny too
This venue has become a favorite in Brooklyn! Great size and always good sound!
Its an expensive shot and beer bar. Seen texas hippie coalition there. Great showWeak bar

2022-05-14This is a quaint and adequate venue that accommodates about 300 (estimate). There are two bars, unfortunately on my visit the bar located in the stage area was closed so we had to navigate back and forth to the bar near the entrance. The bartenders were very nice, friendly and fast. Security is thorough and respectful. The green room leaves something to be desired and could use a drastic make over. Overall I do like this venue. They have some very good Hip Hop shows.

2022-06-07Went there with a friend to see Meresha and their band. The music was cool, First time experiencing something like that. The bouncers were friendly and the staff was helpful. The overall vibe is really nice, open space, clean stage, we got to meet the performers and that was fun, my favorite was the guitarist who was very laid back and overall cool dude who had some serious slash vibes to him, also met a local there who helped us talk to the lead singer, really nice people will go back sometime. A+

2022-07-20A great little venue and one that will be surely missed! Excellent, friendly staff, good drinks, and good music. Only downside is if you like to talk between sets youll have to yell because they keep the house music so loud. Also the restroom is a tiny three stall unisex situation, but I think that adds to its charm.

2022-06-02The music is good but if your “all-gender” bathroom doesn’t have toilet seats then it isn’t all-gender.

2022-05-10Place is a bit dead even when it is alive. In addition you may run the chance of running into very rude workers at the front door that may not allow you to gain access to your personal belongings such as wallet and coat unless you advocate for yourself in front of these rude individuals. Do as u will.

2022-06-24Cool place to jam out to some music of choice. Well depending on who’s playing that day. Sometimes it can be a bit to crowded
