    Great theatre! Saw Dave the UK rapper here. The sound and crowd were great. Staff was respectful and efficient in letting the crowd in

    Came to see DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE in August and it was the BEST TIME! I was dead center at the stage. Best spot in the house. Lovely venue!!! We waited in line for hours, and then there was an option to "pay for VIP" that would let us get in earlier and secure the first GA pit spots. That felt a bit sketch, but hey, that's concert business I guess. I paid it and got the best spot! Deathcab was phenomenal per usual! It doesn't get any better than Deathcab, and this was definitely a concert i won't forget! I took public transit to the venue and had no problem finding it. The area felt relatively safe and nobody messed with me when I was in line. The space also felt pretty clean. Really pretty building with a nice interior. Felt like I should've been there watching an opera or something given how nice it is inside! I'd definitely come to another event here!

    Be still, my little goth heart. I attended my first concert at Brooklyn Paramount Theater this past weekend and loved it. My ffiancé and I got into the building quickly and through security in no time, it helped that we managed to avoid waiting in the long line of early birds for the show. When you step inside, you can't help but admire the gorgeous decor. It's like entering a storybook and it's the exact look I love, dark and whimsical. We opted to get drinks before the performance began, and the bartender was fantastic. I didn't think the drinks were unreasonably priced considering the location, you're always going to pay more at city events. Upon entering the main floor area for general admission, we were able to take advantage of the gradually sloping floor. This was perfect as it allowed me to view the stage for the entirety of my visit, even with it being very crowded. I'm certainly not small in stature, but it's easy to get visually blocked at shows. From start to finish, this venue was superb. A+ for an amazing 2026 concert experience!

    The only thing I have to say about the Brooklyn paramount is that despite the interior (which is probably it's only saving grace) it's more or less just a basic example of a place to hear music and see shows. I know it's not the acoustics that set it apart! I know it's not the size of it that sets it apart! Maybe it's the fact that there's five bars spread out around the whole dance floor. I guess that could be a plus for those looking to get absolutely wasted at $20 a pop. I will say that I've heard it's typical to not do a decent sound setup for the opening band but it absolutely sent me over the edge the way that they did the opening band dirty. One of the main reasons that I went to this particular concert was to hear the opening band live for the very first time! It was an absolute tragedy. I could barely even hear their wonderful sound the way that it was meant to be heard. I am still (weeks later!) so upset for them. It kind of ruined the whole rest of the night for me because you can tell the difference for the second band, the acoustics were much better, and for the headliner specifically it was at its best levels. now I am going to leave some room, for: it may have been the fact that we were standing on the dance floor. It may have been the fact that the opening band and the second band didn't have as many people on that dance floor, once it got really crowded I moved to the level closer to the bathrooms, and the sound from there was really really good and I can appreciate that that might be the best place to hear the acoustics in the Brooklyn Paramount, but don't you think that the acoustics should be done in such a way in an establishment that's set for music and sound? I took some beautiful photos of the interior and I snapped some nice shots of all the bands but overall it would have to be a really important band or show that I would need to see you to go back to Brooklyn Paramount. they can do better.

    Got to see my AoTY, Destin Conrad and this was such a beautiful venue! I loved the ceiling like so many other reviews mentioned. Somehow as soon as we got to the door I realized I forgot my wallet with my ID. Thankfully we're in the age of sober nights and if you weren't drinking, you didn't need ID. Security flowed so quick I didn't even have time to pull up my tickets in my Apple wallet. Such an easy checkpoint! The show was general admission but the space is so great I could see DC from the back. Even with the show being sold out there was room to dance and vibe freely. Great venue!

    I went to see Robyn perform here on 1/2/26. This place is enormous. When I walked in, I was a bit overwhelmed by the size and crowd. I had balcony tickets and that gave me access to a private bar, coat check and rest rooms but I also had free rein to roam around in general admission. The inside of the venue is gorgeous- beautiful details from floor to ceiling. The drinks are tasty. The sound system and the acoustics are very good. The place fits too many people so it may be difficult to get from point A to point B but that's not really a huge issue. The coat check system is cool. It goes by your phone number and takes your photo. Getting my coat at the end of the night was very organized and fast! I hope to enjoy this venue again!

    Brooklyn Paramount truly delivers a world-class concert experience. Our night at the Hilary Duff show was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to Jonathan, the Director of Sales. Jonathan went above and beyond -- helping us secure tickets, surprising us with a celebration for my friend's birthday, and even introducing us to great people seated next to us. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality elevated the entire evening and made it feel truly special. Major appreciation as well to the famous host, Jennifer, and our outstanding cocktail server. The service, energy, and professionalism from start to finish were exceptional. This is hospitality done right. Can't wait to return.

    The Brooklyn paramount is one of my favorite venues to go see a concert. It is such a stunning venue. They have limited food options they mostly have snacks. So many eat elsewhere if you are looking for food food instead of snack options. The service is great here. I like how clean this concert venue is. The women's bathroom is spacious, so many stalls which I love for when there are hundreds of women trying to use the bathroom at the same time it makes the bathroom line go much quicker. I have been here maybe 5 times now and I have had a great experience every time. It is truly a fascinating theater reminds me of an opera house. I love the majestic vibe of this theater. 10/10 concert venue

    This theater and many of the spaces within are absolutely beautiful! I came here for the Tina Knowles book tour. It was a very engaging evening, but I couldn't tell if some of my experience issues had to do with the venue or event organizers. We were not able to come inside the venue at the starting time, which resulted in a line of people standing outside in the blazing sun. Staff seemed scrambled throughout this process and began to come off a little rude to us. Some of the posters outside could have also used a good cleaning. Once things got rolling, it was slightly better, except the sound on the mics kept going out during the event. Once again, I'm not sure if that is a venue issue or an issue with the event organizers. On a high note, there were several bars, which kept everyone moving and they even had some popcorn for purchase as a snack.

    Best night of the year!

    See all

    Solid venue for great acts that you can catch on a much smaller stage. Have seen multiple great acts there.

    What I have always appreciated about Friends and Lovers is how seamlessly it blends old‑school New…read moreYork nightlife spirit with a warm feeling of community‑driven connection. The programming is thoughtful and deliberate: great DJs who actually play what the crowd wants, live acts, and events that draw people of all ages without feeling chaotic. Even on busy nights, the staff keeps things running smoothly, and the crowd is respectful and upbeat. It's a place where you can enjoy good music, good company, a feeling of community thinking that we're all in this together, and a sense of authenticity that's getting harder to find in the city. In conclusion, 5 stars for the crowd and the club that keeps it happy

    I have a love/hate relationship with this place…read more I have had horrendous experiences here where an entire birthday group of 15 people left the line outside to go elsewhere because bouncers were on a weird power trip beefing with random people behind us in line. I have also had fun nights here with great music, dancing, and vibes. I'm officially old now and my thoughts on the place are tempered --that I'm glad it exists and it's an important space for the whole community. This has been a fairly reliable and solid place to dance which a good mix of genres, crowds, and vibes for years now. Used to frequent as I lived right over in Clinton Hill while in college. Oftentimes it has been the only place close by to dance in that kind of setting. The drinks are fine and bartenders typically chill. They did look at us like we were crazy one night when we asked for two long island iced teas haha... ...but also like actually why not? Maybe I want that chaos in my life. They said no, probably for the best. Bouncers outside have been hit or miss over the years but honestly you can say that about any place, they keep BS out so i can't blame them. I don't think the place should really ever have a cover including when it was at its busiest, but I think it may be necessary for overhead. The bathroom line can get long and people take their time in there doing what they'll do.. Can be a wildcard for what it will be like inside, but if you come with a fun group, problem solved. Overall the staff is "no BS" to put it simply, so as long and you're chill and respectful, you *shouldn't* have any problems.
