Brooklyn Steel

Everything about Brooklyn Steel, the borough's newest venue, is outstanding, from the sound to the sightlines, to the bars , and even the bathrooms . It's already one of the best places for live music .

Really well laid out music venue . If you can, try to grab a spot upstairs on the balcony . There is a separate bar and less of a crowd if you don't mind being further from the band.

It's the best live music venue in the city . It's not overcrowded, good sight lines are abundant, and it sounds great. Security is serious. Like, metal detector serious, so leave your gizmos at home.

This is currently one of the best music venues in the five boroughs. The acoustics are terrific and the layout is roomy . Definitely go here if you can.

Enough already. This is be best sound system and live music experience in New York City . Arrive just in time and grab a drink and you’ll be no less than 10 deep from the stage. Magical.

Maybe my favorite venue of this size in the city . Fantastic sound, easy enough to get a drink or go to the bathroom . Gets crowded if sold out. Friendly reminder to STFU during the show :)

Great venue for a show. Easily reached from elsewhere in BK and from Manhattan. View from the front is obviously great but there’s mezzanine on either side as well as a raised area toward the back.

The acoustics here are amazing! The venue hold only 1,800 people so it’s a great place to see a concert with a more intimate feel.

Medium sized concert venue in East Williamsburg. Great programming of mostly indie rock acts. Second floor mezzanine has the best views .

1,800 person capacity, incredible sound. Soundproof venue. Value your hearing? Invest in earplugs for all shows here. Dare I say best venue in NYC ?

Reminiscent of Terminal 5 but with much better sound, my only complaint is the stage needs to be higher (or maybe slope the floor) cause it's often hard to see the performers

Fav large venue in the city . Even if the show sells out, it’s never overcrowded especially if you stand in the back by the bar .

Like everything you want Terminal 5 to be: smaller, slanted floor, better acts....but an unnecessarily tight metal detector crew

Its a pretty big venue, about terminal 5 size. It is a bit of a madhouse, but the sound in the back by the bar is excellent.

Very spacious , makes it easy to get into venue and out. On top of that great acoustics . Probably my favorite music venue in nyc ????

Great sound. Not a bad line of sight in the house. Great venue.

Large open space , great GA venue. Balcony is a bit tight for viewing , but the bars all run like clockwork. Nice alternative to Brooklyn Bowl out there.

The venue itself is spacious and offers a similar, if not improved, layout to the over-stuffed Terminal 5. The biggest issue is that the location is in the middle of nowhere.

After show coat check line wraps up the stairs. Be ready to go up there just to get in line unless you get there early enough. Metal detectors and pat downs are the norm.

Although the site lines up top are great and the crowd at the bar was thinner, the sound is much, much better on the floor than in the balcony .

Great open space . Really good sound. Good vantage points to see stage.

Instantly one of the best venues in NYC .

Like Terminal Five except better in every conceivable way.

Solid venue but lacks intimacy of music hall of williamsburg. Fairly easy to get drinks. Easy to get to.

The most intimate and civil music venue ever. Amazing sound and there's barely a bad spot to stand in the whole place.

Solid venue in BK. Didn’t realize it would be as large as it is. Packed show for Kruangbin!

I bet there's probably no line right now at the bar in the back of the second floor.

Cool. They did a good job with this venue. It's huge, good sound and they have a million bathroom stalls.

This has quickly become one of my favorite venues in New York. It’s like they got Terminal 5 right.

Nice venue. Cool balcony comes way out toward stage. Lots of space. Good ventilation.

Due to a huge ventilator on the ceiling it gets pretty cold in there if the crowd is not too packed. The ambiance is really great though. Beers were kind of expensive at 9$ a glass.

Spacious , clean for a music venue , cool, industrial vibe

Really good sound for such a large room

Take Terminal 5. Now remove all the terrible sight lines . And voila, you have Brooklyn Steel!

Nice venue, but oh so cold on the upper level. Bring a jacket

sound booth is really cool, get up close and watch levels

Been here for a few shows and the vocals are just never quite right. Otherwise great space. Work on the sound!

Dope dope venue. Really amazing. Intense security

Great large venue for a concert , doesn’t get too crowded

Great bass for concerts . Prob best in the city . Vocals sound ok

The space. The sound. Good view of the stage from upper level.

Great sound system and doesn't feel uncomfortably crowded , even at a sold out show.

The better sounding Terminal 5 you expect from Brooklyn

New music venue . Very nice design.

Venue sight lines - size. On the bad side - awful setup for getting out. Coat check , merch table all in the way of the exit. Open up the side doors for exit not just one set of doors

New venue spot in the outskirts of Williamsburg. Nice bathrooms !

Great space and acoustics

This is one of the best music venues in Brooklyn

Get there early for the upper middle balcony spots

Great music venue !
