Its a WONDERFUL place for ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT. Or just to sit at the bar and in the lounge to have a cocktail and mingle with new and old friends.

Really cool space with a surprisingly large stage area. All proceeds of the bar go to support the theatre which is awesome, and everyone was friendly and helpful. Clean bathrooms. Strong drinks. Great overall!

Really cool, large black-box style theater downstairs for various performance works. Upstairs is a small bar and smaller performance space ideal for comedians, small group musicians, etc. I love how this place is set up to allow for creatives to share. This place has a variety of Arts and performances and is a great place to hang with friends, a date, and even with family!

Want alternative theatre? this is the place for you. there is a bar for preshow drinking and a very comfortable feeling throughout, echoing the previous iteration when the theatre was literally in the living room of the owners home.

Review №25

Love the intimate nature of the theatre. Very homey and rustic with a chill vibe. Take a train or walk to this location as parking is a nightmare.

Review №26

Went in this evening for the first annual International Human Right Art Festival. A hidden gem for live performance to see up and coming artists and drinks. Bar located upstairs and stage downstairs. Drinks are allowed inside the theater.Sitting space is very tight, would recommend arriving early.

Love dixon place. it feels like old New York.the less than 5 stars is because, it really is an awkward set up....lots if up snd down stairs. unisex bathroom is space challenged.

Lovely hidden gem of a small performance space and cafe/bar. Very progressive experimental shows in an intimate yet professionally built and run space.

Review №31

The latest incarnation of this essential downtown performance space is its best. Theres a full bar up front (which is open even on dark nights in the performance space), and theres a small performance space in the lobby (many acts are free), as well as a really nice theater downstairs (you can bring your drink) where youre going to see an amazing variety of performance, ranging from solo shows to dance, etc. Tickets are generally under $20, and you can buy festival passes & season memberships.

Bo
Review №32

Absolutely unique place for cutting edge dance & performance with the bonus of a cool bar. Get there early (have a drink) because seating can be chaotic, especially in the balcony.

Review №33

Great LGBT-friendly space with a front bar and separate performance spaces. The talent they attract is world-class -- Taylor Mac tested parts of his forthcoming musical in the bar a few nights recently -- and the crowd could not be friendlier. If youve ever wondered why gay people are shallow or standoffish you have clearly NEVER been here.

Ch
Review №34

One of the top spaces in NY for (frequently) LGBT-oriented performance. Naturally, what you see will be hit or miss, depending on the performer. I recommend it wholeheartedly though as a meeting place for middle-aged (and beyond) LGBT folks interested in the various arts. Which pretty much means all of us, right?

Great venue for supporting local artists.

Review №36

As always the main stage area is one where just about any sort of performance can take place successfully. Last nights Circus Amock event proves it yet again.

Review №37

A low-key performance theater with a bar in a cozy lounge area. Each performance is unique and can be at different stages of development.

Loved seeing the amazing Angelica Pages one-woman show there a few weeks ago. Its a charming, quaint old facility on the Lower East Side that was perfect for Miss Pages splendid tribute to her mother, the late Geraldine Page.

A wonderful LGBT-supportive performance space in the LES. The bar is (the-only?) non-for-profit bar with a liquor licence, with all proceeds supporting the performance space. Go and watch, drink and support the wonderful artists at DP.

Dixon Place is not your typical performance space! Started 30+ years ago by founder Ellie Covan, DP is a laboratory for new theater, puppetry, variety arts, dance, poetry, music and much more. Being the only theater in NYC with a legal liquor license,they have a great lounge you can stop by anytime and have a drink. Come on down to Dixon Place and enjoy the comfort of the lounge and the wonderful exciting new shows.

A bar and small performance space upstairs with a much larger theater in the basement. An establishment thats supporting the community of local performers.

Review №67

Went for a friends play that they had. When I bought the ticket the woman wasnt very friendly. She said I could bring 1 drink into where the play was so I went to the bar and asked for a cider. The bartender was very rude and said $10 when my friend just bought the same thing for $7. When he carded me I stuck my hand out to take it back but he decided to toss it on the bar instead.

Review №74

Consistently BAD theater. Bartenders are clueless. The founder has zero respect for artists and even less for her employees and interns. Go here if you want to extinguish the spark of spirit in your heart with the decidedly small-minded bad energy that pervades this place. No! AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE!
