CMJAugust 29, 2012The dress code at St. Vitus is black, black, and more black. This bar and venue provides a welcome home for metal in Brooklyn, complete with cocktails with names like "The Priest" and "El Cardenal."
Food, drinks, a good vibe and an excellent music venue. What more do you want? A closer subway stop, maybe, but the B43 stops right in front.- L. T.February 1, 2015Great intimate venue! There are multiple bathrooms - don't stand in the hall waiting, there's another one on the other side! And try the hot snacks next to the bar - really good.
Alex TavarezJanuary 31, 2020Affordable venue for metal concerts of some of the best bands! They even offer free parties with New Wave and other music sets. Very nice interior design.
Rebecca BalnisOctober 30, 2018A welcome sanctuary made only more appetizing by the decor and music which not only define the scene but also frighten away the mundanes.
Surprisingly good bar food. Killer atmosphere and awesome staff. It's dark and gloomy how a metal bar should look. Far from the train though.
BruceJuly 12, 2022some of the best artists, bands, duos, DJs, etc. swing through this place. just bring a pair of earplugs.
MischaDecember 22, 2015When attending a show, make sure to arrive a bit early to catch a chat with the band, the space isn't big so chances are you'll meet them

Great beer & shot combos. They serve veg and non-veg slider buns for cheap. Live music, mostly punk, hardcore, and metal.
The Corcoran GroupDecember 17, 2011If you’re not into metal, punk or hardcore rock, then you should definitely go somewhere else. Come for happy hour and their steamed pork buns!
Ray LinSeptember 16, 2014Cheap, divey metal bar buried in the north side of Greenpoint. If you get hungry, they serve pork buns. For real.
The Wild Honey PieOctober 23, 2017Before it was a venue, the space served as a social club and plumbing school.
Pierre van MedgeAugust 7, 2014Black metal! Black bar! Black toilets! Paint it, black! Any color you like, as long as it's black!
SPINOctober 15, 2013Try one of the steamed buns that Saint Vitus serves — vegan and meat options available.
Best heavy metal bar in the city. Maybe even the country. Maybe even the WORLD.
Alyxa LeaseJuly 21, 2014Surprisingly empty when there isn't a show going on. #protip : get a hotdog in the corner if your hungry!
