Small venues offer cheap concerts

The Highline Ballroom is a fun venue to see a band. With a full restaurant, two bars and a dance/crowd floor, the concerts feel intimate and grand at the same time.

The acts range from comedic impressionist MacHomer to pop rocker Tyrone Wells to Desilicious Hai Hai Holi Party! - there is something offered for everyone. Prices for the lesser known acts average around $15 dollars, which is a pretty good deal. Some of the pricer acts can reach $70+ dollars. Age limits also range from act to act. Beers ($7) and food are typically pricey, so eat/drink before hand if your on a budget.

I saw singer/songwriter Matt Wertz with opener the Alternate Routes there Feb. 5 for $12. It was a really good concert and easy to connect with the artists in the small space. Could see how it could easily get pretty rowdy with the right band.
