The 1896 Studios & Stages — Attraction in New York

One of the worst concert venues I’ve ever been to, maybe the worst.

Zero places to sit indoors, dark, cavernous, cold with random spots of blasting dry heat from industrial ceiling fans, and the bar claimed to be unable to provide any change. It was honestly DEGRADING being there and having been charged official venue ticket prices for what ultimately felt like a deceptive bait and switch...
