Visitors in the mood for a raucous rock 'n' roll evening will find it at the Roseland Theater, an upstairs venue that holds 1,400 people in its main room and balcony. The theater regularly features some of the best rock acts in town like David Byrne, Iggy Pop, Randy Newman, Insane Clown Posse, and Henry Rollins. Club goers can get a good view of the band from almost anywhere in the theater, though the balcony is cramped and chairs are scarce.
While the theater does offer great music in a fairly intimate setting, visitors should be prepared for standing-room-only crowds, watered-down drinks, weak air conditioning, questionable acoustics, and deafening volume. Visitors are warned to bring earplugs and be prepared for the notorious security guards and their reputation for being less than delicate. Downstairs, the Roseland Grill is a popular hangout for all ages where customers might find a bite to eat and a bit of relief from the club crowd.
