Great venue. The upgrades are really nice but still has the same vibe 😊
Absolutely loved the venue itself and the experience. Security is very friendly throughout the concert and helpful with any questions. Drinks are pretty expensive which is the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. People are pretty defensive of their spots so dont take someones spot or try to squeeze in front of someone.
I would rate this place a 2.5. I was at this concert yesterday with my daughter. It was a manger or supervisor skinny guy with all black, He was so rude when telling the kids next for the hand shake at the end. This guy is so rude I don’t know why he works here. They need people who are Patient and not nasty like him. Needs to be fired. I myself was sitting here waiting on my child. It was one security guard Spanish young girl with pretty eyes on the floor near the woman’s bathroom standing next to the bar. I seen nobody helped her as the line of merchandise started to get big and she was doing an amazing job sorting it out and handling it like a supervisor should be doing. This young lady should be the face for Webster hall. When I asked her multiple questions about the show and where are they coming out she explained everything and the time. She was outstanding. This young lady took initiative. I know how good workers look like. I would get her a job with me ASAP. Best security I ever met at Webster hall. This is why I rate it a 2.5 only because the manger/ supervisor was rude. If it was for the security I’ve talked about it would be past the 5 stars.
Saw Nick Hakim here - huge venue but still retains the intimacy of most great concerts. Cool to be in a historic venue like this. The staff were easy to deal with. Drinks were pricy but so is every venue so that’s just life. I like the lounge couches by the bar - makes it a great place to chill before the show.
Ive been here for shows in the past that have been wonderful, but the show I saw tonight was not as good of an experience. I understand the necessity of preventing underage drinking, but my fiance was harassed at the door because his ID picture was a little old and he has since changed his hairstyle. Inside the venue, bartenders are nice but drinks are overpriced. The sound quality isnt what it used to be, either. Overall, Ill probably be coming back since many of the bands I like come through, but not looking forward to all the little things.
Great sound. Great venue. Staff is super friendly. Entry is smooth. Sight lines are good. We stood on the balcony and it was a great show
I went here for a Beabadoobee concert and it was really great! I took one star off because we honestly couldn’t see most of the concert, but it was still a very fun time.
Good staff, beautiful venue, sound was amazing. Saw Alex Cameron in concert and was able to wander. Bathrooms were clean and bar had seltzer and water fountains on third floor. Very neat place and was a fun night.
The venue is fine, but the staff/security are kind of rude. They pulled my medication bottle out in front of everyone and made me confirm it was my own!! That made me so uncomfortable. I was in shock. Not sure if this is protocol, but I’ve been in other venues and this was never a thing they did. I understand there are people who dabble with substances, but these are prescribed medications. They didn’t even look inside my friend’s bag but they sure as hell dug through mine to find the medication bottle 🤡
New coat of paint. Same Webster Hall. Made for an interesting few days of “corporate” work. Looking forward to the next time I grace it’s doors off-the-clock.
Great venue for an close up and engaging experience. Highly recommended!
Absolutely missed this venue and the staff are just so helpful. I got to see my favorite band after 2 years and I really needed this concert to happen.
Well managed and clean, with friendly staff that helps things move smoothly. Drinks are expensive, but typical of venues. Webster Hall is the superior concert experience.
We saw Cari Fletcher and it was AMAZING, perfect sized venue too
My wife and I went to see Adrianne Lenker last night and we had a most wonderful time. The staff and security were very helpful in getting us to the ADA section.The accustics were top notch.Thank you again for all your help.
Friendly staff for the most part. Venue was smaller than pics on the internet make it out to be, which was a GOOD thing. Pretty intimate setting.The show (Noah Kahan 11/11/21) was great. It was sold out, but did not feel that way. Great show at a decent venue.
On the website they stated to bring a vaccine card or a negative covid test. They knowingly sold tickets to unvaccinated people under a false pretense that you can bring a negative covid test and they will turn you around at the door with a no refund policy. Dont spend your money. Azalea Banks you owe me $68 dollars!
Lemme tell ya. I went too see Snow Tha Product. First the venue ist clean, and for its age well kept. 2. The drinks GASP were reasonably priced. I think they had a special, beer and shot like 12 or 13 bucks. Cant beat that in NY. The staff ALL very nice a friendly. I personally, living in NY, amd very alert and I dont want to be in the crowd. So i opted for the second floor balcony. (theres a bathroom up there too) AMAZING. GREAT stage view, noone is squishing you, noones hot breathe on you or sweat. Unless your a fanboy go to the balcony. The security was also very nice when I asked him where all the exits are and told me procedure in case of emergency. very nice of him...please give him kudos, he was short, black (maybe of some island decent and was posted by the vip section on second floor). Because again these days in NY you cant be too careful.My first show since covid and I had an EXCELLENT TIME AT WEBSTER HALL!!! Thank you guys!!!!
The remodeling of the upstairs stands in stark contrast to (for example) Irving Plaza. Webster Hall has just the Right amount of seating for a few aging GenXers to rest for a bit, unlike the tiered pay system implemented at Irving Plaza. Air flow in the venue is perfect and the temperature is ideal. Check out the ceiling. Pretty pretty pretty good.
First time here at Webster Hall for Medasins RIPPLS Tour and the show went above both our expectations! Great sound, amazing visuals, and friendly crowd. The check-in was a breeze with app and QR code scan, though there is a quick security pat-pat before entering. Inside the venue, the space is clean and spacious in the lounge/bar room. Our drinks are prepared nicely. It seems as though the stage room on the second level did get more condensed after the renovation. But nonetheless, it was another enjoyable time in NYC and even better to stay inside this rainy night.
Mad fun. Saw ARMNHAMR and they killed it. Amazing vibes. The staff was mad chill, directed all of us to where the bathrooms were and all the bars.. woo even got a spot on the balcony where there was space to shuffle? Lol its better than before!
This place was first called The Ritz club throughout the 80s and this was shot in the movie what’s love got to do with it & Tina Turner performed here
Lil Tracy x Brennan Savage x Drippin So Pretty.
The venue itself is nice, but the staff are kinda rude. Someone stole my phone right after I got through security and even though I reported it right away, none of the security guards were helpful and I ended up having to buy a new phone. If you go here, be sure to watch your valuables.
Webster Hall is a great concert venue. Every aspect of the facilities feels like a small piece of a well oiled machine. Its easy to get in the door, drop off and pick up your items from coat check, order from the bar, and find a good sightline for the show. They also book great talent.The one issue with going to a show at WH: sometimes the crowds really arent it. Ive seen shows where seemingly everyone in attendance knows every word to every song. But Ive been to other shows where the band gets drowned out by attendees talking their mouths off. Idk how WH could fix that, but its kind of an issue.
What can I say? Some of the best memories of my life have gone down in Webster Hall!
Great space, good drinks. Ive seen a couple of concerts here and never had any issuesBe prepared for stairs though
I wish I could leave a 0 star for this place. Totally racist and unreasonable staff. My friend showed her foreigner citizen passport which is over 21, but they gave her an underage wristband which I don’t know. So when I was “stupid” enough to hand over my friend drink right in front of the bartender’s face, they told us to leave and took my 52$ drink away. We explained everything even tried to get someone else to bring my friend’s physical id here, they refused to let us in. They busted us out because we have a foreigner’s passport lol
I just have a question and I am unsure how to contact any staff. I had surgery yesterday, and am driving 6 hours to come to a concert on Tuesday night. I am planning on waiting in line in order to hopefully get a nice spot, but I am still a little messed up, and afraid of getting hurt and having to go back to the hospital. I have been waiting for this concert since Christmas, so I am wondering if there are any safety measures I can take? Or if anyone can help me? Or if there is a way to contact anyone here? :) If this goes unseen, that’s totally fine
I LOVE me some Webster Hall some of my most fun nights were had in this space. Very hot, dress cool. 😎
A NYC staple that hosted one of the premier holiday events in the city for 420!
My cousin and I went to see Chase Atlantic at Webster Hall, and it was great! It was a sold out show, so it was expected to be crowded which was fine. In the beginning, staff was very helpful and great. However, leaving the venue we were trying to get a quick picture of the sold out sign above the entrance and were told to keep it moving so we really didnt get a great shot leaving the show. I guess its understandable considering you have a few hundred all trying to exit the same place, but still. Would have only taken a second.. anyhow, all in all, it was a great show and we really enjoyed seeing the band. Would definitely go again!! 💜🖤👌🏻
Mixed feelings about this place.Pros: Large venue with freedom to roam the floor or the balcony. Lounge/ bar area downstairs by the bathrooms where you can still hear the music and watch from screens. Average beer prices. Good sound and light production. Security thoroughness is average. Good location, easy to get to.Cons: Excruciating lines. I have been stuck in entry lines that wrap around the block, even an hour+ after doors opened. THEN once inside, I had to wait almost 40 minutes to check my coat. It seems like their staff/ organization is just really sloppy. Ive also had experiences where staff is very short-tempered and rude, either yelling or pushing past, unprovoked.
I love Webster Hall! Huge venue and the staff there are cool and laid back while still being very attentive. They have a nice lounge area near the entrance/exit where you can enjoy some drinks and snacks at the bar before heading upstairs to the main stage areas. There are bars scattered everywhere throughout so you will never go thirsty ;)
I had an amazing time seeing Men I Trust here!!! The venue is large and has a balcony area. At least at this show they didn’t bother with a “VIP” area which I appreciate a lot. Also worth mentioning is that the beer and mixed drink my friend and I got came out to $20, which is definitely a decent price for a venue in Manhattan. I’ll come here again if I find another great band coming
Gogol Bordello was amazing (12/28/19), the venue a bit less so; rather disorganized with security and coat check. Still a decent venue and certainly great acts that play here
Its true what they say, the floors are sticky here. Other than that, the place is beautiful–you can feel feel history. The staff there is friendly–doing a sufficient job at ushering people inside. The sound system felt comprehensive.Wanted to share that for an Alex G show, ariving about an hour before doors opened allowed for being very close to the stage (first two rows). For a show that opened doors at 7:30pm, the opener began ~8:45pm, & the main band came on ~9:45pm. Show ended ~11:30pm.Also, important to mention they have free water fountains as well as bottle refill stations!! Id assume you must bring in your own empty bottle to use that since bringing in your own food or drink is not welcome. Unfortunately they blocked off the water fountain area when the show ended.Entrance lines wrap around the block in sections, ensuring to not block any neighboring storefronts. My only criticism for how they manage the lines is the lack of clear communication about where the line continues. It would be helpful to have signs depicting how lines continue around the block. People kept cutting toward the front because they thought the line was very short & my friend was forced to yell to the people 50ft away that the line continues back around the corner. Though the staff eventually enforced that people who ignored those instructions & technically cut the line had to go to the back. I feel it was inconvenient that the responsibility fell into my friends lap & the staff probably couldve communicated that or marked the areas off with rope.
Used to come here to go dancing on the weekends. Every floor has a different vibe and it was the most fun! Also saw quite a few shows here in both the main room and the downstairs more intimate space. Always a great time!
Used to come here on Thursdays to party in the 10s. Now I use it as a venue. Saw Kyle Dion last night. Of course he was amazing. Saw Xavier Omar.OF COURSE HE KILLED IT. I was especially pleased with the gender neutral bathroom and organized electronic coat check. It was just dope.
Security outside were some of the worst people Ive ever met. I left my coat inside after i left the building and security adamantly fought to not allow me back inside to get it because Im lying about the coat even though the show was over and I was freezing. Eventually, I found a way to get back in to get my coat and when the security guy saw me, he lost it and forced me out aggressively (even though there were tons of people in there still taking their time and he saw that i was being honest about the coat). Maybe they should hire people who dont have such weak egos. Happened this past Saturday night
Havent been here in 15 years. What a great place! Concerts are more intimate and you can hear the music better. I saw Marc Anthony here, he was close enough to enjoy the music and actually see the artist.
Webster Hall was easy to get to from the 9th Street Path train..10-15 min walk..The venue is huge great place for large events..The Wine Festival was great..
A New York Staple venue this place never disappoints. From my first concert in 2013 to concerts in 2021 always excited to come back.
The male bartender was very rude and mean. He should NOT Work at a place where moderately stressful places exist being that he is working a concert hall. I will never attend a concert at this venue unless he’s been removed. No idea how he hasn’t been fired yet. I unfortunately did not get his name but he was slim 5’5 and dark hair faded on the sides long on the top. I wish I could’ve had a better experience since I was looking forward to this event for months. There was one lady who was very accommodating and I appreciate her. Altogether I don’t think someone should attend an event during these trying times. People are too power hungry during the pandemic.

2022-02-13The staff were amazing, efficient, friendly, and organized (except for the mass exodus when the concert was over, when directions were a bit unclear, but I think signage would help with that) Our event was a Kpop concert, so the stage was just big enough to accommodate the group and their backup dancers, and the lights and sound were great. But the stage was a bit too low to clearly see all of the choreography past the heads of the people in front of us during a standing room only event. Its a small space, not surprising since it is a concert hall wedged into the East Village, but they managed it well and there seemed to be good access for folks with disabilities. The lineup outside waiting to get into the building was well managed but ended up wrapping almost entirely around the block, which put us somewhat in the way of NYU students and other pedestrians just making their way downtown. People were pretty chill, and some of them asked what we were in line for, but it did feel like we were a bit in the way. Again, just an unavoidable consequence of the tight quarters of the 11th street block. Overall a great experience, even though standing room is not the most comfortable for an entire show. It would have been nice if the venues website had indicated it was SRO so we would know what to expect ahead of time. All I could find was information about the capacity for SRO versus seated, but nothing that specified which it would be for this particular event. The restoration is beautiful, and the giant disco ball was a good time :) The balcony was used only for a small number of attendees, and I couldnt tell if that was a separate ticket purchase or an accommodation for folks with conditions that prevent them from standing in a large crowd.

2022-06-11Very nice, small, and intimate setting for live bands. I would prefer if there were a limit with alcohol purchase. I had to stand on a sticky floor due to people carelessly spilling drinks.

2021-11-13This has become one of my favorite concert venues. Now that it’s been renovated, it feels spacious and I have felt incredibly safe during the past two concerts here — one I watched from the balcony (some security guys say you can’t go up there but it’s clearly not true especially when it gets full of fans) and the front row against the barrier. Security is efficient and the line moves quickly. Floors are sticky as always, but the new bathrooms are much better. Unfortunately, you can still expect to pay $15 for a big $6 can of hard cider like at any concert venue. Fortunately, the tickets are usually such a good deal it doesn’t matter.

2022-04-17The sound quality at the Andy shauf show I attended was out of this world. 1000% amazing. Props to the sound guy! I really like the spaciousness of this venue. Easy to get drinks, small enough to always have a good spot to see the stage. Can’t wait to come back, I loved this spot a lot.

2022-03-02Went to see Cordae a few weeks ago. Was amazing show his stage presence was top notch. I have not been to Webster hall in a long long time. The changes are insane. Everything is much larger. Only complaint I have is security cutting off a whole hallway 1/2 through the show.

2021-12-02First concert here, it is your average small/medium size venue/concert hall we got to see Roosevelt, it sounded amazing, whether is the on site sound engineer that truly knows his stuff of the one that they brought. Good acoustics and not hard to get to.

2022-04-04Really nice place to witness concert, cool ambient, nice quality sound. The only thing is that drinks are really expensive, 15 dollars is too much for a beer.
