Awful venue! Security staff was hostile. Chairs so close together you have to hold your shoulders in. Freaky seven floor decent through a low light + low ceiling death trap of a stairwell. Avoid this place.
Saw the Japanese pop group, PERFUME! Loved it! The interior is really nice. I wished there were more lasers and special effects, but everything was good! Hope they return soon!
I love this venue, I have been going to the Manhattan center since I was 16 years old. The sound is amazing and there is usually a good drink deal.
Great place. Loved the venue. Staff was pretty professional. No trouble getting in or out. Merch table could use some organizing otherwise a great experience. Saw 6lack.
Hammerstein’s ballroom is a great place to party. I came here for the masterbeat parties and it was amazing, loved the lights effects, scenography, everything was perfect.
The venue is nice. They need better elevators and easier access to the bathrooms. The locations were not clearly communicated.
Finishes a little dated but overall a great place to see a concert. Balcony seats have good views.
I wish they would mention obstructed view when buying the tickets. The majority of the Ring, we were there for a wrestling show was blocked by lighting. But I could see this being a cool venue.
Great, classic venue, but if you get there too late, be prepared to be stuck in the back not really able to see anything on stage. Unless youre quite tall. (Or, unless you want to shoulder your way through the crowd to get closer to the front and Im personally too old for that nowadays 😂)
Not too many Rock concerts on their calendar throughout the year but all that I ever been at this venue has been great, specially their sound.
Its a great place to enjoy yourself.All staff is great.Security also.Very professional.My grandpa goes there.
No covid precautions taken with seating. Everyone was crammed together in cheap hotel conference room chairs placed right next to each other. Venue and overly-aggressive staff havent changed since 2000. Still have to pay $1 to a bathroom attendant to get a paper towel to dry your hands. Puff Daddy aint trying to shoot J-Lo here, bro.
Saw Hozier here. Tired but intimate venue. No reserved seating so take note!!
Horrible sound! I feel robbed from listening to one of my favorite bands in this venue. All the comments must me by people that can alway afford the most expensive tickets. If you go to general admission you have no right to the sound! IT SUCKS. THIS VENUE ISA RIP OFF. Never go to a concert there because you are either canned in the 1st level like a sardine or in the balcony with horrible sound. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
Came here for the Hillsong NYC service on a Sunday morning. Its right next to Madison Square Garden. Staff were friendly and helpful.
This is a nice venue for live production. The line to get in isnt too long. Its small enough that even the higher seats feel close to the action.
This is where Hillsong NYC has been using to have its church services on most Sundays. Decent venue and located right where there’s accessibility to the train
Mastodon and Opeth were amazing last night. Venue was clean and organized. Definitely coming back here for another show soon.
Great venue I went for a concert and it was great. I been here before and had I enjoyed the time here
Great experience at my first ROH show.
Had a great time at the Ring of Honor NYC Excellence show. Only complaints I have are the seets dont have a lot of leg room and are tight.
Went there for a concert for the first time last Friday. I had floor tickets so didnt know what to expect. The line to get in was moving quick and security was fine. The venue inside was very nice and big! The standing floor space was very big. Although it was crowded, it was okay. It was annoying then when people was pushing to get near the stage. I would go again but next time would definitely get actual seats in the balcony. Overall great place! Gallant and Sabrina Claudio did their thang!!
Went to an awesome concert here. No complaints, everything went super well.
Its a beautiful place! And now its the home for Sunday services for Hillsong Church NYC, it was a great experience to be there!
Solid venue in NYC for concerts. Very close to NY Penn Station so if youre outside the city then taking the train in is very convenient.
The event was great, and the venue is decently sized, but the security and staff are god awful. Was misled by three different employees when asking where the line to purchase merchandise was post concert to the point that I had to give up because while I thought I was in the right line they said it was the wrong line, then found out I WAS in the right line the first time, but at that point I was so far behind I would have been waiting for four hours. Will never go here again, and would HIGHLY recommend checking if your event is hosted elsewhere also and to go there instead since this venue tends to mislead their customers.
I was here during the 2018 NYCC (New York Comic Con) and this was a good venue for a panel. Audio and visuals were excellent, restrooms were clean and all combined to my having an amazing experience here.Also, accessibility wasnt an issue as bunch of trains from the subway were right next to the Center.
Amazing intimate venue! Advice if buying balcony - get there early as there are many spots of obstructed view. We had great seats (unobstructed) and an amazing time!
I took my fiance to see brett young and geeze, I was blown away. The venue has a personal feeling. Like you can actually get close to the show and still be able to have a great time. The place was sold out but wasnt to crowded. It is definitely a place to see you favorite perfromer!
Clean and modern venue. I attended The Manhattan Center for New York Comic Con. The place had easy to get through security and it was very nice. The soft drinks were extremely expensive for such a small plastic cup too. I think it was about $6 or $7 for a small cup of Sprite (Cup was fully filled with ice too, when is said light on ice). Overall good venue.
Hammerstein Ballroom is pretty rad. No complaints, although the drinks were overpriced, but who didnt see that one coming? Nice combination of General Admission standing room downstairs and seats with a view upstairs. Id see another show here for sure.
Loved the place, attended Opeth x Mastodons show. Great arrangement! 😃
Nice ballroom with high ceilings, good acoustics, nice lighting
Awesome show !!
I love this place the staff and management are wonderful people to work with
The stage wasnt that nice and some didnt seem to know where anything was like the coat check or the merch tables. One guy was nice enough to find out for me after he didnt even know what I was talking about. The drinks werent that great. It was my first time there so I dont know if the staff was just having an off night or what but theres just a few scenarios I was like really? Oh and you cant go out for a smoke or anything wish I would have known that beforehand. but other than that its a beautiful venue
Good venue, but dont get it confused with the center of Manhattan. This place is no where near the middle.
Beautiful facility however the security here made us feel very uncomfortable and unable to enjoy the fashion week event. I spent a great deal of time just observing how the security guard was treating everyone like a criminal and thug. Avoid this facility for events if possible. The security will most likely make your patrons annoyed.
I have been here for both standing and seated concerts as well as wrestling events. Sightlines are generally great and the standing room never feels overcrowded. Staff has always been pleasant.
Indeed hosted a fabulous Christmas Party at Hammerstein Ballroom. Great event.
Had a great time.
Beautiful venue to see shows. Great sitting area and staff. Nicely placed in the center of Manhattan, with many touristy or eateries around the place while you wait for the show.
Maggie Rogers concert! We came a few minutes after doors opened and was able to snag second row seats on the first balcony. We had a great view of the stage and was able to sit while we waited and through the opener.
A man SA many minors last night in pit and security’s did nothing about it. this is disgusting.
It was exciting to perform here. The only irritating thing was the restrooms were so small and super crowded, only 3 stalls in the entire building. When we asked about other restrooms they said it was locked. 🙄🙄🙄 Really? I feel like that was intentional.
Usually go here to attend church at Hillsong and its an adequate venue, with a great view of the stage, for the size of this church. The acoustics are sometimes a bit off but Hillsong music is quite loud and Im often way too involved in the worship experience to care.
Incredible show, great space. Recommend Broadway Bares to everyone. Everyone on stage & behind the scenes should be commended for their dedication & hard work for putting on such a great show. Thank you.
The grandeur and spaciousness of this beautiful opulant space was amazing. To know it was from 1906 an Opera house converted into a hall made rentable for parties and the like is immeasurable. Seeing it up close was phenomenal and an experience Ill never forget!
Love the nights Jodi and Splesh have on there Qool happy hour, probably the best in San Francisco. I love that its next to Funky Door and i can go do some yoga, and afterwards head next door for drinks with friends and not worry about being all sweaty cos everyone else is.That place during those days have the most people Ive ever been during Happy Hour. Its really a fun spot for sure.
While the sound in the venue was good throughout, security was non-existent. The entry line for the Hatsune Miku Expo was wrapped around an entire city block. Doors were scheduled for 7pm with a show start at 8pm. We were rushed in like cattle and there was no security anywhere. They hurried us through the metal detectors, that were loudly ringing with no one checking us. I was wearing steel-toed work boots and they always set the detectors off. There were no bag checks, no wanding, nothing! There were people that scanned our tickets to get into the main concert area. Once inside I stood next to the sound and light board, I heard from the walkie-talkies that the show would start at 8:20pm due to people still being on line. Security was a huge issue at this venue.
Went to a concert and there really are no dad views in the place. The venue is a little run down but its more than 50 years old so you would expect that. There is a certain charm to it though.
We had a great experience seeing Thrice and BMTH.
Awesome venue but doesnt have an atm inside which blows and one of the young security guards was harrasing and flirting with the girls beside me. (She was getting missed)#awkward. other than that everyone was really friendly and accomadating
Great venue, nice set up, reasonable prices...the odd hanging smokey air thing is a little odd. But still a nice venue, just prepare to drink a bit more.
I lost my phone in the crowd. And was fortunate it was turn in by a concert goer. And management quickly email/called me back with my galaxy s10+ found the next morning. Really awesome!!!
Amazing to visit Hillsong at the Hammerstein Ballroom every Sunday. The sound system in house moves you and the art work on the ceiling is beautiful. Great venue
I saw meshuggah there , really nice performance by them .Although the sound was not perfect. Amazing lasers and lights, the only con is the staff kept our lighters and never gave them back
A decent venue to see guests overflow guests from New York Comic con. Not too great, not too clean. Just ok. Bathrooms definitely need improvement. The maintenance is not too good.
The Manhattan Center housed an EDM concert that I attended. The venue was very lively and drink options were great during the event. Security brought a sense of safety to the event and the overall experience was made better by the Manhattan Center.
Always a great venue for concerts, been here twice for The Internet and Vince Staples. Easy to see the stage from anywhere, easy to make your way around.
Went to several pro wrestling shows in last few yrs.. Actually the design in the round gives fans great view of the events....
Beautiful location for events, well organized, friendly staff that were great with directions, lots of services within the hall itself if needed. Loved the event I attended and would recommend this place for events of any size.
Went here to see Carly Rae Jepsen in July 2019. Staff was professional and the show was amazing. Not much more you could ask for a venue.
Came here a year ago, doubt ill come back.Won a ticket for the Bring me the horizon show a few days after valentines day and the lady in the ticket window was extremely rude and continued doubting that i had won anything.
I was there for the z100 pepsi lounge and it was a great experience! A lot of the vendors had taken up most of the walking space but the performances were great.
I love bring me the horizon
Nice concert venue. Close to the e train .
Great acoustics. Easy to get to from Penn station
HUGE venue!! Very efficient security and entry. Sound from the balcony can sound a bit muffled at times (mostly noticed with opening act) bit overall amazing!!
Always a great time there building was nice and clean as always
I attended this venue for Hillsong NYC. It was nicely put together and was cool to view. The chairs were very close together, which meant for awkward moving down the eisle.
Ive been here two different times and its a nice place for events but the security can be a bit rough with personal items.
It was a nice place with a a really nice big stage. People were friendly and fun at the event I went to.
Stupid ticket box office policy. Can only buy tickets on Ticketmaster so you can pay an extra $18. Will no longer be going to their shows..
Saw Alice In Chains live here ❤️. Pretty good venue and smooth entrance to a great general admission concert.
Great place I love it me and my family come here almost every Sunday if we are off and come worship jesus. great energy great environment and great people. Carl lentz Is the. Best.
I went for Tarkan concert and it is really cool place.
A great celebration of the New York Road Runners Club Night Awards Ceremony.Great space for these types of events
A nice place for small shows
Attended a great event Hyojeong with korean drummers, Beatbox performers, dancers and Hyo Jin Moons band with his children singing his passionate songs.
Beautiful theater to work at for an event and then hired staff were awesome people! Great venue!
One of my favorite concert venues in the city. Perfect size. Needs more bathrooms.
We were on our last day in the city and attended the early service of Hillsong Church.... felt very welcome! Amazing worship!!!
Awesome venue, I went to an AJR concert here. No seats, but its good.
Careful of seats in the high balcony. For wrestling event I found views blocked by lighting equipment.
Amazing old venue turned into a thoroughly modern space. But dont bring in any sharpies. Theyll be confiscated.
Great venue for an inexpensive concert!! Very old and light on amenities but clean..
Nice venue. Watched an early premiere of Titans. The venue is okay. Would not recommend for a movie/show viewing.
Went to see Alice in Chains...I hadnt been to the Hammerstein in years ...that said good show ... sound was mixed well...not sure why it took me so long to get back there
Nice real estate In front of the stage for GA tickets. Totally renovated from Hammerstein Ballroom days.
Great place for live shows in the heart of the city...not that big, not that small. Drinks and snacks sold inside.
Great venue, seating is comfortable and you can see the stage from anywhere.
Love this venue!
It was a very good space and the acoustics were great during the 6lack concert
Great venue, worked a Raconteurs concert here. Staff is wonderful
Great party atmosphere beautiful view from my seats over all had a great experience there
I come to this venue alot and I am never disappointed I know its old but its still beautiful and the staff is always accommodating and friendly
Marilyn Manson just fell yesterday here ☹
I work at this venue spot its a fun enjoyable location to visit and the history dates back to the early 1900s
Nice venue! Drink at a local bar defore a show as the drinks in here are pricey
The Hammerstein ballroom is beautiful, it has a great fresco on the ceiling and is really well equipped. People that work there are professional and work hard.
Great place and great memories, I went to a my bloody valentine show and sounded awesome
I wasnt inside but from the look of the pictures on my phone it has breathtaking scenery
Awesome. Have seen Portishead and DC UNIVERSES TITANS here. Great and classy venue!
Very large venue a great place to host your own event.
Yes, I love this venue to see concerts and rock shows. General Admission only.
Acoustics could be better in some spots, great venue all around though.
Beautiful. I will come back sometime!
Was there to visit Hillsong Church. Impressive building, but I love Hillsong church so its mainly because of Hillsong church that theyre a 5 star to me.
I saw The Michael Kay Show with John Sterling was amazing the people there were very nice. Thumbs up to Michael Kay.
Great venue! Love seeing shows here
Great event space! Style Fashion week had an amazing show
Umbrellas not allowed!They will throw them away if you bring one. There is no where to check them.
Went to the venue for a concert. Only problem was that coat check was ridiculously unorganized at the end of the night.
Great Concert
Great audio. Went there for a panel for NYCC 2018. Good visuals as well.
Solid venue. Excellent, spacious, great sound, security is not overbearing.
Easy and convenient location. Parking was right next door. Security was really fast.
Very classical venue with theater setting but without strangeness even holding electric music performances.
Saw the preview of M. Night Shamalayans movie! It was a great space!
Enjoy the game . restroom very clean.
Great venue, good sound system, the staff is nice as well!

Excellent medium sized venue to catch a show
Huge venue. Most events are organized by the institutions holding them
Good sound and sight lines! Amon Amarth was top notch!
Its a very beautiful and nice theater to see productions.
Eh is what youd expect for being near MSG. Overpriced, low quality drinks. Bar seemed like a folding table.
Yep. Me & pro wrestler Marty Scurll. The Villain! You can see the pattern here!
I just worked there, not sure how the overall venue was. It is very small though.
Nice venue. Drinks are a little expensive but expected in NYC.
They have some great panels there for Comic-Con 😁
I was there for Good Friday service (Hilsong Church) and it was awesome!

The Hammerstein Ballroom is a great place to see a concert.
Went to see the Raconteurs. Nice venue.
Great venue for large events.
I used to attend hillsong church here and it is a warm place
Venue is too small for the panels they put in there, and the entrance is an enormous bottleneck.
Security and workers are rude but performers were great
Wouldn’t give me a cup of water. They only had bottles for sale.
Show was great! Love this venue!!
Great acoustics + Cool staff = Pleasure.
Saw kaskade. Loved venue for this type of show

2022-08-05This is a prime location on the corner and perfect for a bite to eat!Pros: Everything is extremely fast and the workers sweet and honest. The menu has something for everyone and a mix from day to night.Cons: Quality is not a priority here. Everything looks great but lacks flavor and texture.Overall it’s definitely worth a visit, especially if you are hungry and want something familiar.

2022-03-25The security line was a block long and we missed the opening act because of it - poorly run venue. Also really outdated inside. The ceiling is nice but doesn’t match any shows the venue has …
Review №3
2022-02-08This is the view from section 203! Overall enjoyable. If the people in the front rows of the section stand, you will HAVE to stand to see over them. Just a heads up.

2022-04-23Great venue, super quick entrance protocols!

2022-06-09Saw the Jim Irsay collection here At a vip event. Catering was phenomenal, bartending was friendly and professional and the space was great with one BUT: NO ADA ACCESS TO BATHROOMS! OTHERWISE, SMASHING!

2019-03-31I attended the Perfume concert this weekend, and it was amazing.While I am sure the venue is full of history and old world charm, I think the experience here can be improved. Firstly, as many other concert-goers have commented - if your are under 6 ft tall you will probably have to move your head occasionally to get a clear view of the stage. If you are under 5.5 - sorry to say this but you are out of luck unless you are within 5 to 10 ft of the stage , or at the back by the drinks and concessions. The design of this venue does not lend itself to general admission standing concerts - unless the stage was raised by a foot or two.In order to get to the front it is best to line up early outside the venue. The venue itself has the large Manhattan Center sign out front ( and not Hammerstein ballroom). My second gripe would be the way people line up and are corralled into separate queues - it is totally possible for people in the back to jump the line and move up in front of you (which is what I did when I arrived 10 min before show start). If you want comfort and are willing to pay 3 times the cost of GA, I would suggest the seated mezzanine section for a unobstructed view of the stage.The staff for this event were very respectful. Costs of drinks are in my opinion comparable to any major venue or sports arena plus a surcharge for being Manhattan - i.e expensive. A double Jack and Coke was $17.

2021-03-18Fun place for a concert! Kind of run down but I didnt mind! Had a great time here and would come again!

2018-08-23Pretty awesome place to watch or even host an event! The Hammerstein Ballroom is magnificent. Large, but not too big. Every seat in the house seems to be in just the right spot. I shot a Jiujitsu event there and the vibe was amazing! It is def worth a visit.

2019-01-31Beautiful venue, great acoustics in the balcony, not overly loud. Great bar and restroom facilities and locations. BMTH incredible band. Thrice and Fever 333 were awesome too.
