Water Street Music Hall

The Water Street Music Hall is a large capacity, 7000 square foot entertainment complex featuring two rooms that can be used together or separately. We are located in the St. Paul Quarter entertainment district of Rochester, NY – conveniently located directly off I490 east and west via exit 13.

Our doors opened in 1977 as the Country Warehouse, and has since been The Warehouse, The Horizontal Boogie Bar and the Boogie Bar. It became the Water Street Music Hall in 1999 and has emerged as one of Rochester, NY’s premier concert spots, garnering the “Best Live Music Club” and “Best Live Entertainment Venue” by the Rochester, NY Democrat and Chronicle’s People’s Choice Awards in 2002, 2003 and 2006.

Our main room is approximately 3000 sq. foot. of open space with a 1700 square foot balcony overlooking the stage. (To rent this space click here) Capacity for this room is 1300. As all shows are different, we are able to accommodate most needs. We can seat 400 people theater style, or set tables and chairs for 130 with additional bar and drink rail seating.

Our 80 ft bar (one of the longest in the city) stretches the full length of the room for ample access.

Our smaller room, The Club @Water Street is approximately 2200 sq. feet of open space with a multi-tiered balcony that wraps around the room. It is a unique room offering an intimate setting of standing room or table seating. The 20 foot, spacious bar came from an old church and offers a view of the stage, while the back of the room has a hot/cold concession stand and espresso bar.
