Heaven Can Wait

I was here on Monday & the sound in the room was soo good! Shout out to the sound guy they had working. All of the staff was super nice and it opened up the space for all of us to listen to the music that the bands were playing. Overall great time. It’s such an interesting and intimate space visually too, the lighting was great as well. I hear they have DJs at night, possibly starting at 11pm. If you’re ever in the area and looking to listen to live music or dance a bit, I’d say you should go check it out. There was a cover

I'm from California and stayed in New York for 2 months and this was by far my favorite little venue for live music. The aesthetics were on point, the bartender was super friendly (and also form CA!), the beer options were adequate and most importantly the sound was superb!

Decent bar nice venue. Been a few times to see friends bands play always a blast. Gets a bit crowded and they still charge tax when you pay cash so an 8 dollar beer , you pay with a 10, you get 1 dollar back. I’m actually pissed about that now that I think about it That’s all I can think about and now I’m mad. But the show was free because I rsvpd. But I’m still thinking about that 30 cents or whatever. That’s all I can think about

Fun place to see bands. Ecletic Alphabet City decor. They don't have food so be aware. Bartenders are fine for pouring beers, but that seems to the ceiling for their talents - they have signature cocktails but the bartenders don't seem to enjoy making them nor do they do a great job - must've been Management's idea but they didn't train the bartenders. I found that even asking a bartender about the beers is greeted with an eye roll. Not sure if that's because they aren't familiar or don't think questions are warranted? Summary - worth seeing bands here but stick with simple beers and eat before or after.

Played a show here and was very happy with the experience. Staff was incredibly friendly from the moment I arrived at the venue, and the sound crew (Tyler) went above and beyond to make sure the whole show went flawlessly. The venue itself is very intimate - there are a selection of small booths - but also plenty of standing room to get right up next to the stage. I believe the back room can also be rented out for private parties.

It is absolutely shocking to me how the security at this venue treat its guests. I have not seen such aggressive behavior in my entire life. I was inappropriately touched by the venue’s bouncer twice yesterday (once when going out, he pushed me to ask me to leave my glass, which I was planning to do one step later at the door), the second time he came around and said “you need to get the hell out of here right now because there people waiting outside for the next event” While, I just had got my drink at the bar and paid $35 with tips. (why didn’t the bar stop selling drink drinks when you need to kick out the people?) I wouldn’t mind at all to rules and I understand when we have different events booked in one night, but this type of aggressive (physically, and verbally) behavior is completely unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. I saw a few more people complain yesterday. So very obvious this is not an isolated case. The manager did refund our drinks, but this does not erase the humiliating and aggressive behavior, which was completely unnecessary and unaccounted for. Dear owners. As a person who runs a festival, organizes events, and owns two venues. if my bouncers treat the guests or audience at my place, the way yours treated so many people yesterday - I would fire them on the spot. And I’m not some woke far left individual. This is simply and utterly unacceptable.

Went to a show last weekend and loved this place! Felt intimate but not stuffy and the guy bartending was really nice

What a great place. Hadn’t heard of it. Has a big party. Rented out the back room. We all kept going in and out to the room and the main room. Rock/ live bands, gets a little crowded but great vibes. We had our own bar in our private room which was convenient because it was hard to get drinks in the main room. Our room had a disco ball and tables and sitting space on the perimeter. Every group within our group had their corner. We had like 50 people in our private room. It was amazing. Great drinks, decent prices. Right in the heart of east village. A gem. #SameTimeNextWeek
