The Bowery Ballroom was founded in 1998 by Michael Swier, Michael Winsch and Brian Swier who still own the theater style venue on Delancey Street in New York’s Lower East Side. The Bowery has become one of Manhattan’s prized live music venues seating up to 120 people and holding a total capacity of 600 including the mezzanine that looks over the main floor. The Ballroom has three unique floors including the lower level lounge, main floor and the mezzanine providing a space that creates a timeless atmosphere for concerts, wedding receptions, catered dinners, film screenings, corporate galas, live podcasts and much more.

The lounge on the lowest level is completed by a 50 foot wrap around horseshoe bar with intimate seating, while the main floor hosts the standing room, backlit bar and a generous stage to fulfill the entertainment of music, and last but not least the mezzanine wraps above the standing floor with café style seating and a “beautiful coffered-vaulted” ceiling.

The theater’s roots began when the current building was built in 1928 and became a high end Tree-Mark shoe store prior to the Wall Street crash in 1929. Ultimately, the crash wiped out industrialization in America and led to the spiral of The Great Depression and the biggest downfall in economic history at the time. Over the years, the neighborhood was neglected and the shop stood near empty until the end of World War II. Thereafter, the building housed a few shops that were unable to be well maintained until the Swier brothers and Winsch bought and renovated what is now known as The Bowery Ballroom.
