Been here for a We Are Scientists Concert. Very intimate, security isn't so pushy. Good venue.

Mandatory bag check for all backpacks and messenger bags? For reals?! That's just straight up bull.
Warren WanJune 8, 2013
Worst sound technician ever. Or maybe just at my show. Turn the mics on, asshole. Unless the goal is to make every track an instrumental. If that's the case, kudos.
Naim SheriffOctober 26, 2013
Since when do we pay $3 for a coat check!?
Joe M.January 26, 2013
$12 beers and douchebag staff
Elana BetaharonFebruary 9, 2014
Coat check lost my jacket. On top of that, they were rude to me and didn't give me a refund for checking it in. Never coming back here after that treatment.

Barbra DietzschDecember 10, 2014
Ótima qualidade de som, espaço amplo, ar condicionado bombando, serviço excelente e o show no dia que fui (do Common), idem!!
Carmen AlvarezNovember 13, 2015
Fue increíble ver el concierto de Pablo alborán en New York #TourterralUSA #IrvingPlaza
Raheem KAugust 21, 2015
賛否両論分かれてますね。音響はまあまあ、接客はNYライブハウスの平均値といったところで、格別良くも悪くもないかも。当日昼以降に電話するとプッシュトーン１番で、各アーティストのパフォーム時間の予定がわかり、便利です。
