Saint Vitus, Metal music venue in Greenpoint, United States
Saint Vitus is a bar and music venue in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, focused on metal and related genres. The space fits around 350 people and has a stage, a full bar, and enough open floor for the crowd to move around.
The venue opened in 2011 when three music fans converted a former social club building in Greenpoint into a concert space. It gradually became a reference point for Brooklyn's underground metal scene.
Saint Vitus draws musicians and fans of many different metal styles who regularly gather here for live shows. The way people dress, move, and interact with performers shapes the feel of the room in a way that is hard to find elsewhere.
The venue sits on Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint and is easy to reach on foot or by subway. It is worth checking the upcoming schedule in advance, since the type of show and crowd can vary a great deal from one night to the next.
After their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, surviving members of a legendary grunge band performed here and chose this small room over larger options. That unexpected show brought the club to the attention of alternative rock fans far beyond Brooklyn.
