Avalon Night Club

Avalon is a nightclub that is now also sometimes a rock venue. This review refers to the times that it is a rock venue. Despite the fact that it is an old church, it looks like a normal venue inside, and I would say that the space is comparable to Irving Plaza in terms of size and shape (the room isn't that wide, but goes back pretty far). They don't have a ton of shows there, but it is worth keeping an eye on their schedule because they have been starting to book some good indie bands.

Having been to the worldclass clubs in Ibiza, Hollywood and Europe, I felt NY was lacking in this department. That is until I went to Avalon. Besides the fact that you are partying in an old church, the lineup is second to none.
