Such a small and adorable venue--perfect for watching a band or a comedy show. We went to see Jiaoyang Summers, and the space made the experience feel incredibly intimate. We were able to see her up close throughout the show, which made it even more special. There's street parking available, and there's also a municipal parking lot open on Sundays. I would definitely come back to see other shows here! read more

We bought tickets for the platform seats. They should come with a disclaimer that you have a partial (or no) view of the stage at all. You basically watch the show on a monitor while hearing it. Based on reviews I found online, people have been complaining about it for years, but nothing ever changed. Don't buy tickets for the platform, the only seats upstairs which guarantee a good view are the ones at the tables across from the stage. What saved our evening- we complained and got moved read more

Intimate space set up like a cocktail lounge rather than your typical theater. Great for small shows as the setting puts you right on top of the entertainment. Saw Asi Wind who is known for his close up magic. The intimate venue was perfect as the show also featured audience participation. Will return in the future for another show read more

Fantastic location next to what was the count Basie aka Hackensack theater etc. The Vogel has a rooftop with a small bar for the show pregame, comfortable seating on the rooftop with views of the Navesink. The actual venue is wide open, general admission with very little seating on the main floor. There is a 2nd floor balcony with additional seating and tables but for some reason they did not open it. The main floor has a full bar with reasonably priced libations. The wife and I saw Night Train there and the sound is fantastic, almost too good. On this night this Guns N Roses cover band blew the doors off. I would not hesitate to return....only wish the 2nd floor seating was open.... read more

Such a great intimate venue to get to watch The Phoenix Theater Production's performance of Peter and the Starcatcher! The lighting and stage setting was incredible. We watched magic came to life as the intimacy of this venue made you almost feel a part of it. The folding chairs were extremely comfortable with 3x the cushion of most. Not a bad seat in the house. The second tier had tables with 2-4 chairs set up. The bar had a huge selection of wine and bear, regular concession snacks. This production was hysterically funny. The complexity of what the actors had to do just flowed effortlessly. Props to the props! ‍I didn't want it to end. Nonstop laughter! One of my favorite productions, unexpectedly! Kudos to the sound effects guy perfectly on point! It was hard to leave a review for just the venue without mentioning the show read more

The Vogel is a newer small venue that is owned by the Count Basie Theater. Excellent acoustics and lighting are great for smaller, intimate acts. The place is set up with long tables and comfortable chairs facing the stage on the first floor. The second floor houses individual tables of 2/4 surrounding the perimeter of the building. There's a bar on each floor. The menu is limited. At this time a CDC card must be shown to gain admittance. Masks are optional. read more

We saw Jordan Klepper's show. Sat in front. The venue is great but like any venue you're packed in. Being right in front was fun but you are looking up the whole time & he had a pedestal on stage so we had to look around that to see the videos he showed. The rooftop bar area is spacious & really nice. We enjoyed it prior to the show. I would definitely go to another show here. Staff was friendly while getting us inside the venue & explaining where to go. read more

At first walking into this space I wasn't sure. Pretty wide open seating. A large curtain screen was down in front mid the stage advertising upcoming events. In the main area are long tables for assigned seating. In the back of the room are some high tables and rail seatings. Upstairs in the "balcony" are high tables along the este of the perimeter and then in the back of that area are tables which from those tables you can hear and watch from projected screens. Sort of reminded me of say The Bottom Line but higher ceilings. Sound was very good, even from the balcony seating (went to check it out) very enjoyable space. Nicely thought out. Long tables weren't on top of each other. Local drafts would be a good addition read more

Came here to see Jared Freid (comedian). We had no issues coming in. Did not have to wear masks. Had a temperature check. Staff was wearing masks. Tables socially distanced. Waiters were attentive. Price for a bottle of rose was $30 and cold pretzels and movie theater snacks for $22. In all for 4 people (2 bottles of wine and snacks) we spent $100 (not terrible given it's a venue). The only thing I hated was having to buy these tickets through ticket master which adds on about $12 worth of fees to each ticket price. I wish they could sell tickets independently. All in all solid spot and I would return for other events. FYI there is a parking lot near by if you can't find street parking. Free on sundays! read more

Went to a concert last night. Sat on the left side in the balcony. The sound system was great. The sight lines from the side balcony are horrible. The left third of the stage was obstructed and if the person in the front chair of the next table between you and the stage leans forward on the railing you can't see a thing. And the stage lights for some reason occasionally sent blinding flashes into the audience. When going to a concert in a newly built space the design of the venue itself shouldn't be the problem. At The Vogel, it is. read more

I have always wanted to go check out a show here, so I'm grateful for the chance. Also, this was my first time seeing a ballet. The American Reportory Ballet is the group that put on the performance. The thing I loved about this theater is that it doesn't appear to be a bad seat in the house. I had a great view. Also, I loved that for this particular performance, they had characters from the show in the lobby that you could take pictures of or with. They also sold different souvenirs including actual nutcrackers, ornaments, and books. Another thing I noticed is that the staff are accommodating to people who have disabilities. I saw them remove a seat to make space for someone who uses a walker/wheelchair. I would definitely return to see another show!
