I don’t go much these days sadly, but when I was the big ones were Brooklyn Bowl, Brooklyn Steel, Baby’s Alright, Union Hall, Music Hall of Williamsburg, and The Bell House. Some of them i have been to a lot and some only a few times, but I enjoyed all of them.

Edit: for reference, my peak time period for music going was 2008-2012. I also don’t live in NY, so it is always a small trek but worth it if you love music as much as I did. I still go, but I’m definitely a bit old now and maybe catch a few shows a year now if I am lucky.
