Warsaw

ABOUT

Warsaw is a concert venue at 261 Driggs Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, inside the Polish National Home (Polski Dom Narodowy). Live Nation books its shows, and the calendar is mostly punk, metal and indie rock, with some hip-hop, electronic and Latin acts. The Warsaw Bistro inside the venue serves pierogies, kielbasa and other Polish food.

SIGNIFICANCE

Warsaw began hosting concerts in 2001 in the Polish National Home's ballroom, which was built in 1914; the venue says the shows started as a way to raise money for community events. It uses the tagline "Where Pierogis Meet Punk", and the venue lists Jack White, Patti Smith, Joan Jett, Public Enemy and Weezer among the artists who have played there.
