I sometimes head to Silo for night events and it's usually a good time. The most recent time I…read morevisited was for a night party. When this venue gets packed it can be hard to move around. If towards the front by the stage be prepared for pushing and moving around many people if you need to go to the back area (where bar and bathrooms are at). Their bar has a decent selection of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. There are some food options as well. Bathrooms are a reasonable size, but can get messy depending on the event and people in attendance. Overall it's a good venue and will definitely be back for any future events held here!

What a shame I love Silo and truly enjoy my time here when there is a good lineup. However I feel…read morelike my last visit needed me to leave a review. Im not gonna lie the people and vibe are amazing and it is truly a vibe but there is one thing in particular that made me think, "Ok, I cant wait to leave". Silo need to update their sound system cause it is really bad. The music was so loud (I dont know how to explain it) but the speakers were just blasting full volume, There was no balance at all and My ear were hurting after being there

There's a two drink minimum (yay canned water for $8 does count) and you make reservations beforehand. The aesthetic itself is great - very romantic mood lighting and live music.   Only thing is - bring some earplugs to protect your ears. Or don't. I expected better of myself.

I went to the Studio Ghibli Jazz w/ Alyssa Chetrick Quartet in February and the music was great but…read moreI have some words about the venue. I paid for two seats and it was soooooooooo close together with other tables. See attached pictures. I was basically shoulder to shoulder with the table next to me. The table in front of us was also super close too. We were seated next to the bar and it was so loud and it disrupted the music. The music sometimes had soft vocals and you would hear the bartender shaking drinks and scooping ice so loudly lol. It was mandatory two drinks per person so with the seat reservation, it was $140 for two people. Gratuity is also automatically included at 20% which is fine. For the seated ticketed event, I was expecting a nicer experience but it didn't deliver. I feel like I was overcharged for the experience. Also a bunch of people were standing by the bar talking and a whole bunch of people were standing behind us. I think for the price, it could have been better.

In the rear there's an outside area that you can go to for fresh air. Although that outside area wasn't very well lit. There was a concert tonight I went. What's kind of cool is that it makes it intimate. The crowd could really walk up to the stage, interact and even talked to the acts after. A lot of people were getting photos and reminiscing with artist. A suitable place. Just keep in mind it's on the smaller side if you have any concerns

I got a little motion reviewing rotisserie chickens online last year, and made a few internet…read morefriends along the way. One was Kettama, and he invited me to his show this past weekend here at the Knockdown Center. For context, this sort of electronic dance music is not my scene at all but we had been trading DMs for over a year, and he has been showing so much love so I had to roll through. I arrived at 11pm with a friend Eric who is down for ANYTHING, and we had no idea what we were walking into. We took in the scenery for a bit, had bass vibrating through every fiber of our skeletons, before we went outside to smoke cigs that Eric handrolls. I messaged Kettama we were in the smoking area, and his girlfriend came out to come and take us backstage. Internet friends are such a unique experience. You never really know what you're getting into. I've met a good amount of people in person and never wanted to turn around and go home so fast. Sometimes you just don't vibe at all. I've also met a few FAMOUS famous people, and typically they are extremely out of touch, which is not even a knock on them. When everyone is catering to your every whim, fans tripping over themselves to get a picture with you, telling you how great you are all the time, how could you not have an inflated view of yourself? How could you stay grounded? So I was ready for a quick 3 minute, somewhat awkward, surface level interaction. What I got was the exact opposite. We walked in, and before I could get out my patented "WADDUP BIG BRO..." he took his headphones off, stood up and said "THERE'S NO WAY!! JOHNNY NOVO IN THE FLESH!!" We hit a clean dap and just started chopping it like 2 lifelong homies. I was caught off guard as he was asking a bunch of great questions about me, as it's rare for anyone, famous or not, to ask questions and then follow up questions about my life. He even got in on our running friend group joke about how being around Eric makes us feel so insecure, because he is ridiculously handsome and JACKED. We ended up chilling with him for 2 hours and between shots of Clase Azul, we talked about everything from our favorite memes to how cool UPS drivers and their drip is to some things I cannot put in writing. As it got close to 2am when he was supposed to go on he said "OH DAMN IT'S LATE, let me lock in!" We headed back upstairs to catch his set, and Eric said "I'm actually shocked. He is genuinely such a cool guy... He's like one of us. We gotta invite him to our next hot pot dinner..." His set ended up blowing the roof off the Knockdown Center. The man is a star. But for me, it's always a pleasure to see when genuinely good people win. This dude would fit so seamlessly in our friend group it's stupid. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

I went to Knockdown Center to see Underworld's Crazy, Crazy. It was an amazing experience! What a…read moreperfect venue to see a show like that! There were two sets with a 30 minute pause in between. Pros: - Sound system was so good. For EDM, the audio was great in that former factory space. - Visuals and lights. I was mesmerized by the overhanging light thing (I don't know the technical terminology, but you'll know immediately what I mean when you see it flashing above you) - Security was actually really cool - they were super professional and did good crowd control, but kept the vibe positive. - I kept it light with any extra things on my person, but it was good to see there is a locker system that you could utilize if you needed Cons: - Perhaps it was a one-off that night (this was around the time when there was a semi-heatwave), but the ventilation. People were so excited about Underworld that I think many people just powered through, but Dear God! I was waiting for people to pass out from heat exhaustion or someone to shout "MEDIC!" I didn't hit up the merch room, but saw it from afar. Also, I didn't get anything from the bar. So I can't speak to those aspects of the venue. Note: This is neither a pro nor con, just a heads up so you know - unisex bathrooms with attendants.

Highly recommend!…read more So this is how it works! They have soda type things the first two rows and then tables with 6 chairs each placed at 90 degree. If you're on the edge or front rows they may call on you. Now you can decide accordingly! They check your IDs so please carry them. This show is 1) Mixology - you order cocktails at the bar and you get some free during the show 2) Burlesque - amazing performances 3) Magic show - really nice sets with a decent intermission I won't divulge many details cos it will ruin the experience for you but please go for a special night or regular fun. The people are lovely, amazingly talented and lovely!

Came here on a quiet weeknight by a total mistake!…read more We came to grab some drinks at the rooftop bar and catch the sunset and gorgeous views. When we saw "Water Tower" on the elevator we decided to press it. SO GLAD WE DID. We landed at the Water Tower and walked into a fairly empty space decorated with art all the way to the ceiling, filled with natural light coming in and the views of the skyline were out of this world. We had to try their drinks of course to enjoy with the incredible view. Though the drinks are $21 and served in a plastic cup that evening, I was NOT expecting my drink to be this insanely delicious. I ordered the inferno Paloma which they infuse themselves with- and it was true perfection. By the way, each bar has their own menu which is pretty awesome and makes it even more fun. Also, Axel is the most incredible bartender and we absolutely loved his creations. Later that night we ordered a custom mandarin margarita, with a spicy twist, and WOW. He's truly talented and absolutely made us some awesome drinks that we can't stop talking about. Sunset with a view and a spicy mezcal drink? Yes and YES. We had this place all to ourselves and can't wait to be back. Friday nights they have DJ nights and you can also book the Water Tower for your own private events which is pretty cool!

A lot of intimate shows come through here--Sam Smith even did a month-long residency and the sound was amazing. Only downside is the downstairs gets super packed and the restrooms are kind of a hassle to get to, so VIP is worth it for the upstairs bar and bathroom access.

We danced the night away to MissMonroes amazing set We did a Zara Larson Midnight Sun theme and we felt comfortable and safe all night it was so much fun dancing with the girlies and meeting new people. The reason I'm withholding one star is because the back room was so dark and dank and STEAMING HOT I had to take breaks between dancing in there and catching my breath at the table where we settled at. I love Bushwick but the smell in that room after 2:30 am went from musty to BO Stank, to pickles and vinegar smelling. Please do better crack a window and wear deodorant guys!
