Webster Hall
🇺🇸New York, United States
A historic large nightclub and concert venue in the East Village. Webster Hall was originally built in 1886 as a ballroom. In rock history, it's famed for its 1980s stint as The Ritz, one of NYC's top rock clubs. Today, Webster Hall (capacity ~1,400) remains a prime venue for live music and dance nights.
Bowery Ballroom
🇺🇸New York, United States
While lacking the decades-spanning history of the Fillmore or CBGB, the Bowery Ballroom represents the perfection of the modern rock club. Opened as a music venue in 1998 by the team behind the Mercury Lounge, the venue set a new benchmark for mid-sized concert halls. The building dates to 1929, constructed just prior to the Wall Street Crash. The renovation in the late 1990s preserved the Art Deco grandeur and 24-foot ceilings while engineering the space specifically for amplified music.
