I went to the Paramount on a recent Sunday for the first time for a concert after hearing positive things about the venue. The space itself is pretty nice and cushy and conveniently located to the subway. The acoustics were pretty good for the concert and the experience overall was a pleasant one. There was a good selection of bites and drinks in the Ella Lounge. My only for gripe about the venue is the lack of seating as it is standing room only for the most part.

Came to see DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE in August and it was the BEST TIME! I was dead center at the stage. Best spot in the house. Lovely venue!!! We waited in line for hours, and then there was an option to "pay for VIP" that would let us get in earlier and secure the first GA pit spots. That felt a bit sketch, but hey, that's concert business I guess. I paid it and got the best spot! Deathcab was phenomenal per usual! It doesn't get any better than Deathcab, and this was definitely a concert i won't forget! I took public transit to the venue and had no problem finding it. The area felt relatively safe and nobody messed with me when I was in line. The space also felt pretty clean. Really pretty building with a nice interior. Felt like I should've been there watching an opera or something given how nice it is inside! I'd definitely come to another event here!

Got to see my AoTY, Destin Conrad and this was such a beautiful venue! I loved the ceiling like so many other reviews mentioned. Somehow as soon as we got to the door I realized I forgot my wallet with my ID. Thankfully we're in the age of sober nights and if you weren't drinking, you didn't need ID. Security flowed so quick I didn't even have time to pull up my tickets in my Apple wallet. Such an easy checkpoint! The show was general admission but the space is so great I could see DC from the back. Even with the show being sold out there was room to dance and vibe freely. Great venue!

Be still, my little goth heart. I attended my first concert at Brooklyn Paramount Theater this past weekend and loved it. My ffiancé and I got into the building quickly and through security in no time, it helped that we managed to avoid waiting in the long line of early birds for the show. When you step inside, you can't help but admire the gorgeous decor. It's like entering a storybook and it's the exact look I love, dark and whimsical. We opted to get drinks before the performance began, and the bartender was fantastic. I didn't think the drinks were unreasonably priced considering the location, you're always going to pay more at city events. Upon entering the main floor area for general admission, we were able to take advantage of the gradually sloping floor. This was perfect as it allowed me to view the stage for the entirety of my visit, even with it being very crowded. I'm certainly not small in stature, but it's easy to get visually blocked at shows. From start to finish, this venue was superb. A+ for an amazing 2026 concert experience!

The only thing I have to say about the Brooklyn paramount is that despite the interior (which is probably it's only saving grace) it's more or less just a basic example of a place to hear music and see shows. I know it's not the acoustics that set it apart! I know it's not the size of it that sets it apart! Maybe it's the fact that there's five bars spread out around the whole dance floor. I guess that could be a plus for those looking to get absolutely wasted at $20 a pop. I will say that I've heard it's typical to not do a decent sound setup for the opening band but it absolutely sent me over the edge the way that they did the opening band dirty. One of the main reasons that I went to this particular concert was to hear the opening band live for the very first time! It was an absolute tragedy. I could barely even hear their wonderful sound the way that it was meant to be heard. I am still (weeks later!) so upset for them. It kind of ruined the whole rest of the night for me because you can tell the difference for the second band, the acoustics were much better, and for the headliner specifically it was at its best levels. now I am going to leave some room, for: it may have been the fact that we were standing on the dance floor. It may have been the fact that the opening band and the second band didn't have as many people on that dance floor, once it got really crowded I moved to the level closer to the bathrooms, and the sound from there was really really good and I can appreciate that that might be the best place to hear the acoustics in the Brooklyn Paramount, but don't you think that the acoustics should be done in such a way in an establishment that's set for music and sound? I took some beautiful photos of the interior and I snapped some nice shots of all the bands but overall it would have to be a really important band or show that I would need to see you to go back to Brooklyn Paramount. they can do better.

I went to see Robyn perform here on 1/2/26. This place is enormous. When I walked in, I was a bit overwhelmed by the size and crowd. I had balcony tickets and that gave me access to a private bar, coat check and rest rooms but I also had free rein to roam around in general admission. The inside of the venue is gorgeous- beautiful details from floor to ceiling. The drinks are tasty. The sound system and the acoustics are very good. The place fits too many people so it may be difficult to get from point A to point B but that's not really a huge issue. The coat check system is cool. It goes by your phone number and takes your photo. Getting my coat at the end of the night was very organized and fast! I hope to enjoy this venue again!

The Brooklyn paramount is one of my favorite venues to go see a concert. It is such a stunning venue. They have limited food options they mostly have snacks. So many eat elsewhere if you are looking for food food instead of snack options. The service is great here. I like how clean this concert venue is. The women's bathroom is spacious, so many stalls which I love for when there are hundreds of women trying to use the bathroom at the same time it makes the bathroom line go much quicker. I have been here maybe 5 times now and I have had a great experience every time. It is truly a fascinating theater reminds me of an opera house. I love the majestic vibe of this theater. 10/10 concert venue

Brooklyn Paramount truly delivers a world-class concert experience. Our night at the Hilary Duff show was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to Jonathan, the Director of Sales. Jonathan went above and beyond -- helping us secure tickets, surprising us with a celebration for my friend's birthday, and even introducing us to great people seated next to us. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality elevated the entire evening and made it feel truly special. Major appreciation as well to the famous host, Jennifer, and our outstanding cocktail server. The service, energy, and professionalism from start to finish were exceptional. This is hospitality done right. Can't wait to return.

This theater and many of the spaces within are absolutely beautiful! I came here for the Tina Knowles book tour. It was a very engaging evening, but I couldn't tell if some of my experience issues had to do with the venue or event organizers. We were not able to come inside the venue at the starting time, which resulted in a line of people standing outside in the blazing sun. Staff seemed scrambled throughout this process and began to come off a little rude to us. Some of the posters outside could have also used a good cleaning. Once things got rolling, it was slightly better, except the sound on the mics kept going out during the event. Once again, I'm not sure if that is a venue issue or an issue with the event organizers. On a high note, there were several bars, which kept everyone moving and they even had some popcorn for purchase as a snack.

This is such a beautiful space for concerts. I'm happy that Brooklyn has its own smaller venue that isn't the Barclays center. I came here to FINALLY see my favorite group of all time, jagged edge! And i was not disappointed. The theater is so nicely renovated. It gives old school glamour vibes, and i loved that. The theater inside was gorgeous. With the roof and all its peaks and beautiful colors. It was the perfect venue to welcome jagged edge to Brooklyn. I had the time of my life yesterday, and even tho i didn't order any drinks or food or anything, i still very much enjoyed myself. The ushers were very helpful when needed. But i came for what i came for and i left feeling like life had been made. Amazing night, amazing show, amazing venue! I will be back.

Absolutely beautiful theater to see a power metal concert. It's been renovated not too log ago and the place it pretty darn awesome. Granted, the concert area is standing only, no seats, but if you're there to see a high powered metal concert and sitting you're doing it wrong. On this occasion our group was there to see Unleash the Archers and headliner Powerwolf who blew the roof off the place. The surroundings are like being in an Underworld movie as the decor is gothic vampire (to me at least) with multiple bars to grab a drink, terrific acoustics, good sight lines, clean bathrooms, and cool air conditioning throughout. Big props to the reno team who designed the decor. Reasonable drink prices (by NYC venue standards), and ticket prices. Right next to the MTA Q subway stop at DeKalb Ave which is super convenient. I found the staff to also be helpful and professional. They feature all type of musical acts here for any taste so check out the upcoming lineup.
