    LCD Soundsystem Dec 10, 2025

    We loved seeing LCD Soundsystem at the Knockdown Center Wednesday Dec 10, 2025. The venue was awesome with a large area of lockers where you get a code via QR scan on your phone - to be able to access your mini locker throughout the event. Three friends shared ours and it was easy and cost $15. The room sounded great, there are some large posts around you might have to dodge but you can find spots to see well throughout. There's also a courtyard nearby for quick access for fresh air to cool down from dancing. Drinks were good - I had a strawberry lemonade spritzer that hit the spot. Most drinks were around $10. Would love to see more shows here.

    I came here two times so far for events. The venue is super close to public transportation and walking distance from other venues as well. The sound quality is great, plenty of bathrooms, and different rooms within the venue so you're not packed like sardines but actually able to move to the music. The drink prices are okay-$16 for well but the frozen margarita was od- $25?!. Outside of the frozen drink prices, everything else was amazing.

    I went to the Jack Daniel's Art Beats and Lyrics Free Event and BABY!!!!!!!! We had TIME LAST NIGHT!!!! The art was definitely a vibe and definitely brought some Brooklyn ethnic background of today's color world. The drinks we tried were the Jack Honey with lemonade and the cranberry apple with Jack apple. The DJ was playing them tunes for real. The art was a pleasure to see. The service was super quick they had about like 4 bars and free food, but the lines were a little long. They had Philly cheese steak and tacos.

    Old factory buildings are one of my favorite things about New York City. Yet as time passes, there are fewer and fewer to be found. The old brick, chimneys, and occasional fancy iron work from over a century ago are rapidly disappearing and being replaced by newer buildings and projects. The Knockdown Center has been beautifully preserved & is open to the public for events. I usually go here in the fall (versus Avant Gardner in the summer). The knockdown center feels more relaxed compared with similar venues. The bathrooms are large and clean. I liked that they had a bathroom attendant there. While I'm not a big fan of the location- hard to get to via public transportation- the interior is airy and spacious with beautiful old beams and a comfortable outdoor space. The venue name has an interesting history - taken from their website -- "first as the Gleason-Tiebout glass factory, then as Manhattan Door factory. It is named for the Knock-Down door frame that was invented here in 1956 by Samuel Sklar and remains an industry standard to this day. The frame could be shipped in pieces -- or "knocked down" -- and installed into existing walls, revolutionizing the speed and efficiency of building construction." New York has so many stories and little tidbits of history in every corner.

    Went here recently for the Alkaline Trio concert. Overall, the venue is huge. There's even some room for seating towards the back. Multiple large bar areas. Drinks were on the average to expensive side. Bathrooms were good and there was even bathroom staff making sure the bathrooms were clean and hanging out Paper towels and things. As far as the concert, the overall sound quality was good there was definitely enough room to move around and to be spaced out more towards the back. only negative is this venue is not really close to any subway stations, it's kind of more in a very industrial space granted there is Some bars and stores close by. The closest subway station said it was gonna be a 10 minute walk which is fine. Most people were getting Ubers and Lyft which made the prices very high so just be mindful of that.

    I honestly am really surprised this venue had negative reviews. My experience over the weekend was incredible. I attended the knockdown center for a hard techno concert, and what a venue! The sound was phenomenal, good space to move about, and a wonderful location. Sara Landry played two sold out shows, one being seven hours straight and knockdown showed up for this. This venue supported everything and more! The drinks are crazy expensive but that's to be expected. Outside smoking areas too.

From the large ball pit and motion-sensor projector game down to the small toys for other sorts of play, it is a great option for all ages. The slides are so cute! Safety protocols will apply and sanitization seems to be "on the ball" for this place. I appreciate the extra care and attention that the workers put into this place for everyone's health and well being. There are snacks and other items on sale. It is all very well set up. The workers are also experienced that if the child does not want to leave, they have ways to coax them to listening to the parents. (huge plus because most of the time, children will want to stay.) Seems like private parties are at a very good cost with different options to choose from. The overall presentation with the party decor and details looked extremely fabulous. Photos are up on the wall to give you a sense of how happening the parties look! Check with the prices, since they may have changed due to the pandemic, etc. It is a great local spot for the neighborhood. Please support your local businesses!

The bathrooms were filthy, along with the one sink sitting outside the bathrooms, no soap or anything. For 17 dollars for pizza and a drink all night. Parents could care less if their kids are out there and trying to cross paths with anyone just trying to leisurely skate. the disrespect of people and staff made the place even a more horrible experience. 10/10 would not ever come back to this establishment especially with my kids. Definitely sticking with skate country in Buford. Ruined my whole experience and joy of skating 120%

Everything was so beautifully done and set up for the party. Every vendor that Nadia (the owner ) recommended was reasonably priced and did an amazing job. Working with Nadia was easy and she was always available to take our call or text . She was easy going and flexible. During the event not only her manger but she herself came to help and make sure everything was going accordingly. This was my husbands choice being that he is Russian. Being Italian I was nervous that the Italian and American guests would not feel comfortable or have complaints due to Italian halls and Russian halls being different. But in fact it was quite the opposite. So many people of all ages on my side actually called after the party and today as well as telling us during the party that it was the best event they had ever attended. One girl who is an event planner herself said she was booking her next party here. I can't believe I ever second guest having it here vs an Italian hall. You can't even compare. I had the most amazing night and party! Thank you Nadia !!!
