Music Hall of Williamsburg

Brooklyn: Williamsburg, Greenpoint & Bushwick


This popular venue is the place to see indie bands in Brooklyn – everyone from They Might Be Giants to Teenage Fanclub and Kendrick Lamar has played here. For many groups playing New York, this is their one and only spot. It has an intimate feel (capacity is 550) and typically programs several shows of various genres per week.
