The Bowery Ballroom is a former ballroom in the district of Bowery in Manhattan , New York City . It is mainly used for concerts and is one of the most important stages for independent artists in New York.

The building on Delancey Street was built in 1929, just before Black Thursday . The building stood empty until the end of World War II , after which it was used as a retail store. When the area around the building deteriorated, the shop had to close. In the course of the gentrification of the district, the Bowery Ballroom was finally reopened in June 1998.

The Bowery Station of the New York City Subway is right in front of the ballroom .
