Rochester Main Street Armory

"I've seen some great bands here! For people that don't care to be in the crowd, or for those who have hearing ailments and don't want to be in front of the speakers there is a raised seating area Stage Right, Stage Left and in the Back that can usually be accessed via the stairs. The past couple of times I've been here it has gotten a little out of hand with a lack of security personnel capable of controlling a scene. And that was before the unfortunate trample death that shut it down for a while."

"Went to see like 3 or 4 metal bands, the 2 main events exclusively. ( Papa Roach and Falling in Reverse) It's just one big giant room, general admission for the most part but were some reserve seating at top like a balcony, 3 rows good luck getting those seats. Overall I probably won't go back here I'm too old for general admission."

"Great venue to have a concert at. A lot of friendly people in the pit. Lineup to get inside the venue moved really quick as well. My only issue was the lineup for drinks took a very long time, but the view from the bar lineup was good anyways so it wasn't too bad of an inconvenience. Bartenders didn't cheap out on the liquor either, really felt like the drinks were worth the money."

"Large building once used as a military armory. Mainly a standing room only venue but there are some folding chairs available in sectioned off areas for VIPs and disabled. There is also a horseshoe shaped balcony with 3-4 rows of chairs for the general public. For the good: Lots of room for many people. The bathrooms are readily available and the lines seemed to move quickly...at least on the guys side. There is also a bar which service both beer and spirits. Now the bad about the venue:. It is LOUD and full of echoes. Because it was once just a military building, there is nonstop echoes. The addition of banners strung between the girders would do wonders to make this place better as a music venue."

"I've seen quite a few shows here. Weezer being the best. Was there recently to see some hardcore metal and punk. Aside from running out of hand towels, it was a decent venue. A very small food menu. Eat before hand and maybe bring a hoodie if you aren't in the middle of things. Staff was excellent and professional. I was absolutely impressed they took the time to wish us a good evening as we exited the venue."
