Rockwood Music Hall

Rockwood Music Hall is a music venue at 196 Allen Street on the Lower East Side that houses several independent stages under one roof. Each room accommodates performances of different sizes, from intimate shows to larger gatherings.

This venue opened in 2005 and gradually expanded from a single room into a multi-stage complex. The growth transformed a modest storefront into a significant live music destination that shaped the neighborhood's modern music scene.

This venue has become a gathering place where musicians of many styles perform regularly, from jazz and rock to experimental sounds. The space reflects the creative energy of Manhattan's Lower East Side, a neighborhood known for its long history with independent music.

Bring a valid photo ID, as it is required for entry to the venue. Most shows have a minimum drink purchase requirement, and online advance tickets can be bought until 5:30 PM on show days.

The performance spaces are outfitted with professional equipment including Supro guitar amplifiers and Aguilar bass amplifiers available to performers. This high-quality gear allows musicians to play under optimal technical conditions without needing to bring their own instruments.
