Webster Hall, New York

With a rich history dating back to its construction in 1886, Webster Hall holds a special place in the heart of New York City as one of its most significant theater and event halls. Throughout the years, it has been a hub for various social gatherings and is renowned as the first modern nightclub. Following an impressive $10 million renovation and makeover, it unveiled its refreshed look on April 26, 2019, with a concert by Jay Z.

Since its reopening in 1992 by the Ballinger brothers, Webster Hall has continued to captivate audiences with its unique atmosphere and remarkable events. With a seating capacity of 1,500, including a balcony, the hall strikes a perfect balance between spaciousness and intimacy. Whether you're in the main area or on the balcony, you'll enjoy good sightlines and exceptional sound quality.

The venue boasts exquisite decor and thoughtful layout, featuring nice ornamentation throughout. With bars located both upstairs and downstairs, you'll have no trouble finding refreshments to complement your evening.

Note:
Webster Hall is a standing-only venue, so if you have a preference for seated shows, this may not be the ideal venue for you.
