The historic Irving Plaza is conveniently located around the corner from Union Square on the quiet and quaint Irving Place. The 1200 capacity ballroom is a good place to see bigger acts and still like feel like you're in a small club. Bands like Circa Survive, All Time Low, Underoath, and the annual AP Tour are usually playing the venue when they come into New York City. Irving tends to attract a good mix of music genres and audience types. Record label suits are usually found hanging by the bar while various band members can be found running all over the venue or having a formal meet and greet downstairs. The venue is also is very promo friendly, so you'll be sure to be bombarded by local bands and promo reps when leaving the show.(This can be good and bad.)If you want to have a great view, bolt the balcony and stay there! Otherwise, you probably get a good view by hanging out the back too. If you want to be in the middle of all the action, stay in the pit. I always tend to have a really good time whenever I'm here whether I'm hanging out on the balcony or in the pit.
