My favorite venue in the city. Seen some of my favorite bands here. Nice and intimate. The floor slopes down so as a short person in the back, I still get a good view

Large but cozy venue. Great sound and lighting. Gives an intimate feeling while watching your favorite bands. There were in excess of 1500 people and I felt safe and enjoyed the evening. Fully stocked bar. Great staff. Zero issues. I highly recommend this venue.

Great place to see live music, with an awesome seating section if you get tired. Love that they book primarily metal bands here.

This was a great, intimate venue to see a concert. The sound was very well done and there is not a bad seat on the house. Parking is easy with several 24 hour parking garages within a short walking distance. There are also several dining options in the area to grab a bite before or after a show.

Went to see light the torch. Small venue but the music was clean and the pit wasnt as bad as compared to other venues. Had a great time

One of my favorite venues. After the craziness, you can make your way to the back to relax in stadium seating. I love having that option.

Review №12

This venue had great sound and an interesting layout. There is a raised seating area in the back half of the venue. The show I went to required upgraded tickets to use this seating area, but it was well worth the extra cost to me. The staff working at the venue all seemed very congenial too

Best venue for its size and cost. Intimate setting. Good ushers. But fallen from 5 star because new manager lacks people skills and 10 dollar budwiser now 15.00.

Really nice, intimate venue. Went to go see Trevor Wallace (comedy act) and it was great.The Gramercy staff was helpful, getting you to your right seat. The bars are right on the sides of the venue and offer different beers on tap and in cans.

Review №16

Really nice venue for live music. But the drinks are too expensive for a plain selection. Location is nice though and bars are easily accessible right in the area if drinks are something youre interested in.

Easy in & out. Bars on both sides of the floor, plenty of room on floor to move about. Eclectic music. Relax & enjoy the music. Leave the attitude

Went to watch Ryan Hurd perform. The Theatre isnt very big, but thats what I like most. You could stand or sit anywhere and have an amazing experience regardless. The venue serves alcohol and has everything organized as good as you could. Would recommend anyone to go to this venue.

Great theater, however I believe that the staff and people who work there unfortunately have been hardened by NYC Culture. I have also noticed that its incredibly difficult to get press or photography approval from them, yet they will allow cell phone cameras.. in short, great location, disappointing staff...

Its a intimate space that is perfect for music concerts. The space has seats and a general admission area. Bar space on the sides means you can get a drink and still be at the show. Bathroom was clean and easy to get to. Parking in the area is kinda a pain if your driving in. If your hungry there are food options in the area.

Review №21

Listen, Im giving this 5 stars because I saw a podcast I loved and it seemed like all the seats were pretty decent regardless of location and the drinks werent too expensive. So, like, is this a thorough review of the venue? No. But they hosted something I love and thats enough for me to give them a great review. Support the theater and keep it going so it keeps your favorite acts and podcasts and bands and comedians and shows and all that jazz.

Saw Julius Dein and he was great. Unfortunately there was pretty bad lighting and no video on the screen so people in the back could not see any close up tricks... And this I what Julius does.

Review №32

Its new years and their service with Ticketmaster failed, so they arent letting in people who clearly have tickets. They also closed the smoking area because someone tried to sneak in through it. The sound here is great, though

Review №33

There are always great bands playing at Gramarcy.They didnt act like they had to police the crowd. It was nice.I especially enjoy the random shows and events they put on that arent just concerts. Amazing venue...

Man, where do I even start with this venue. 8t was such an awesome experience for my wife and I. Drove to NYC from Pittsburgh to see our favorite band, Veil of Maya. Didnt have to wait long outside, got right in at 6pm and went to the merch / lounge area downstairs which was such an awesome area. The best venues have separate rooms for the merch, btw. Bought some merch, bathrooms were also VERY clean and then went into the actual concert space and my pregnant wife was so elated to see...SEATS. We went right up and grabbed some seats, got comfy and enjoyed the show. It was cool, comfortable and overall a great experience in that venue. The bartenders were very entertaining, rocking out and also enjoying the music while serving drinks. (Bigger man with blonde hair and a slimmer man with stretched ears, a hat and tattoos) they deserve raises lol. We left very happy and still talking about the experience the Monday after the show. (the show was on 4/19/19)If you live in NYC, visit there or whatever, you HAVE to go here, its a must!

Great place to watch live entertainment. Full discourse, Ive only been there to see marky ramone live, so Ive only seen the stage and mo chairs on the floor. The acoustics were really good, you could appreciate the sound from every point on the floor.

They need to do better for their performers seriously the concert I attorney yesterday was for now on monitor fact that the theater in second performs accessibility for writing proper lighting sounding... but even then the performer did great with everything that was wrong

Went there to see Lacuna Coil Live. Despite the storm and being soaked to the bone. Definitely a fun experience. Now for the place itself, felt a bit too small at times; though thankfully there was enough space to stand... just not enough for a quick mosh. Bathrooms are averagely decent, just hard to upkeep when there is a load of people going in and out during concert time.

Review №53

Ok place. Eve6 was a great concert. Bartenders are not friendly. You would think working for tips, you could be a bit friendlier to the public. Downstairs bartender with accent was the only kind employee in the place. Go to him. Security was also friendly upon entering the building.

Great little place. @russelhoward was epic. Great seats. Nice amall bars inside.

Review №55

Great place for metal shows. Younglings can hang out on the floor and oldlings, like me, can sit (no extra charge - thank you for that) in theater seats. For a few bucks more VIP seating was close enough and away from moshers. Two bars; one on either side, at the back of floor. Beware, upon entering, of walking to get to seats. When the floor is crowded, put your phone away. Someone was pushed into me, accidentally, by a mosher and phone fell out of my hand. Luckily, damage was slight and didnt impede usage. Hefty lesson, I learned. Hopefully, you heed this heads up.

Review №61

Ah, saw the Residents here in what, I suppose, will be their final show--right, though no ones ever seen these anonymous eye-balled fellows, one of them is no longer with us. My wife and I saw the Bunny Boy tour and it was, as was the Demons Dance Alone before it, mindblowing! The Gramercy Theatre is right down the street from our home, so its super convenient--and its on a main drag of NYC, so...yeah, very easy and nice place to see a gig.

Review №65

Great venue, especially for a more intimate experience with the band! Sound quality was decent. My only gripe was the price of the alcohol. It was kind of ridiculous, but not too too bad. Would have loved to tip the bartenders more, but couldnt afford it after the price of the drink - sorry ladies!

Review №66

Great little venue in NYC, not too far of a walk from Penn and the venue has a lot to offer for being so small. Includes a seated area, two bars, and GA floor. Security were some of the nicest Ive ever met and I go to a lot of concerts, and how they handle merch lines should be the standard

Cool venue, except the security girl at the door took my unopened pack of cigars with not much of an explanation other than these aren’t going in. Odd I’ve never ran into an issue like that before at any other venue. In NYC or other wise. Do you not allow tobacco into your venue?

Solid venue with a good layout. Stage is on the same level as the lobby with merch tables located downstairs. As is the norm in New York, the drink prices were pretty high though. Overall, a good place for live music.
