This 12,000 square foot concert was originally built by Oscar Hammerstein in 1906 as an opera house. It's since been a vaudeville hall, a Freemasons' Temple, and, in its current incarnation, a marquee-name pop music venue. Acts as diverse as Weezer and Underworld have performed here but, with a capacity of 3,000, it can often be difficult to see the stage from the standing-room, unslanted first floor. Regardless, Hammerstein has opera house-quality acoustics, so every seat sounds like the best in house.

Remember when you were young and stood for hours in a small, stinky GA club to see New Order? Felt pretty darn good about yourself didn't ya? HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM allowed fans to happily re- create this experience--and similar experiences for Devo, Kraftwerk, and Nine Inch Nails--without having to work for it. The venue boasts two levels of balcony seats and a considerably docile standing-room-only section downstairs. More »
The ladies' room at HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM is bigger than most apartments. There's rarely an unbearable line. It's always clean. But the clincher is the wonderful lounge-like entryway. There's plenty of wall space to sit and lean against, whether you're just tired or too drunk to stand. Plus, it's a great place to meet guys. More »
