Always one of my favorite places to see a show. Love the entrance. You are also so close to the band. The energy in the room is always electric. Great sound. Was most recently there to see TR/ST the weekend before last. Amazing show.

I really liked the layout of this venue. Not a bad spot to stand. Great staff and average Brooklyn drink prices. Die Antwoord crushed too!

There is a good sized parking lot right next to the venue on frost st. Free parking on the weekends and weeknights after 1pm. The venue is actually on the colder side and has a big ceiling fan. They have water fountains but they were turned off for my show. Water $7 with the caps

Brooklyn Steel is one of those venues where when you hear the show you want to see is there, you get that much more excited, because you know it’s going to be done right. It has a great large space, excellent acoustics and sound system, and good drinks. The last show I saw there was Soul Coughing, and he whole experience was awesome.

I love this venue! Great view of stage from anywhere, ample pit space, and space for people who like to be close but don't want to be too close to the pit. Sound is always very clear too. Plenty of free street parking nearby as well

This was our first time seeing a show at Brooklyn Steel, we went and saw NERO.
The show was amazing! the asthetic of the venue is really cool. Industrial yet cozy. All of the staff were super nice! Security, Staff, Bartender were all super friendly. The Bathroom was very clean probably the cleanest of any venue I've been to. We just had such a delightful time and felt right at home. So thankful to everyone for all their great work!

I have been to a lot of shows and have to say, Brooklyn Steel was the best venue. The Tinariwen concert was the best there.
There is a great space between the stage and crowd, the security was professional and was on top of their game. The ticket booth attendants were so nice, attentive and professional as well.
I did not interact with the bartenders but my friends did and it seemed to be running very smoothly.
The temperature in the place was good for a large crowd indoors. So well managed from my perspective.
The one thing I would mention is a lack of seating for people with issues standing. If standing is a problem for you, this might not be the best place to see a show. In truth, I just don’t know the seating situation.

Went to this venue to see KREAM. Great tech house set. Large space that allows plenty of room for dancing. I enjoyed my time here. Coat check was a very nice option to have, first time ever visiting a venue and I didn’t have to wear my coat or jacket. Employees and staff are very friendly.

Nice spacious venue with a TON of bathroom stalls and multiple lounges/bars/coat checks. Well run and organized check in & security. Had a great time, can’t wait for my next show here!

This was my first visit to the Brooklyn Steel, and I will start by saying a return trip is in my future. The location was easy to find with ample parking on the surrounding streets. Well, as ample as NYC streets can be. Passed through security with a breeze. Their staff was quick and efficient. There is a bar immediately upon entry with others throughout the venue as well. Everything is laid out in a straightforward manner. Simple and to the point like an industrial warehouse style venue should be. There is a second level balcony with a bar overlooking the large open space of the dancefloor. There is another bar at the back of the main floor. The sound system was putting out some serious heat, to say the least. The press of the soundwaves could be felt throughout the venue. It was a great first visit

I came here for the Slayyyter concert (Miss Madeline and Bayli as openers) and I have to say this has been my favorite concert venue so far! The staff are friendly and unaggressive. The venue has a large area outside the main room so it doesn't feel crowded or claustrophobic. There is also an upstairs area. My mocktail I had was pretty excellent as well!

Went to this venue to see Becky Hill perform, the bathrooms were cleans, and the process to get in was very quick. The venue seemed really organized - it’s also nice that is a smaller venue so we had the opportunity to get close to the stage showing up right when doors open, we didn’t have to get there super early and wait in lines. Also Becky Hill was absolutely INSANE!

I love it, it’s a huge venue, easy and fast to buy the drinks, stuff are really friendly and helpful restrooms are clean the sound it’s great

What a lovely concert venue! Perfect size, I don't think there's a single bad spot to stand in, you'll see well from everywhere. The acoustics were great at the show I went to! The bathrooms are quite big with lots of stalls, so not a long wait. No merch booth chaos, because there's a good system to form a line to wait in. Bags were thoroughly checked, which felt nice and safe, yet everyone of the staff was always friendly. Would love to go to another show here!

The only thing to improve in my opinion is that I'd recommend trying some "cup deposit" system with reusable cups to motivate people to bring cups back. Leaving the venue after the show, you had to step on/over sooo many plastic cups that were just thrown onto the ground by the guests.

This was my second time coming to this venue, and it certainly didn't disappoint! Security measures making me feel safe right away. This particular event to see Le Tigre included FREE burritos after your security check. Whaaattt, amazing! Upon tickets being scanned and doors opened to the main entrance with bar and a merch, followed by a very large and clean bathroom facility. If you take the stairs up, you'll find another bar with an upper level balcony view of the crowd and stage. This was where we ended up staying, as the view couldn't have been more perfect and I wasn't trying to be in the large crowd. There was air conditioning upstairs as well, that made it very comfortable for a late July. Really looking forward to seeing future artists perform here!
