Heaven Can Wait 169 Avenue A, Manhattan, New York 10009

"As a few have said - very unwelcoming bouncer claiming capacity limits meanwhile once inside was quite empty. Def wouldn’t recommend if you’re looking to perform there are many better venues in the city!"

"Awesome venue with great bands. Recently saw Questa here and their sound was terrific. Tickets prices are very reasonable and bartenders do a solid job"

"Found this spot when my boyfriend and I were walking around after dinner. It’s a cute spot with two bars. The bartenders Cement and Montana were really great!"

"Played a show here and was very happy with the experience. Staff was incredibly friendly from the moment I arrived at the venue, and the sound crew (Tyler) went above and beyond to make sure the whole show went flawlessly. The venue itself is very intimate - there are a selection of small booths - but also plenty of standing room to get right up next to the stage. I believe the back room can also be rented out for private parties."

"Fun place to see bands. Ecletic Alphabet City decor. They don't have food so be aware. Bartenders are fine for pouring beers, but that seems to the ceiling for their talents - they have signature cocktails but the bartenders don't seem to enjoy making them nor do they do a great job - must've been Management's idea but they didn't train the bartenders. I found that even asking a bartender about the beers is greeted with an eye roll. Not sure if that's because they aren't familiar or don't think questions are warranted? Summary - worth seeing bands here but stick with simple beers and eat before or after."
