Electric City - Buffalo, New York

L L

This is the best venue I've been to since covid! It was easy to find on GPS, friendly staff, beautiful bathrooms and a wonderful layout for live music. I loved the many different price points for seating. Luckily they accommodated me being 8 months pregnant by giving me a seat in the ADA section so I could stay safe from the crowds. Even offered free water at the end of the show. The production Manager named Chris was professional and made sure the bands performance went off without any issues. I will definitely be returning!

Great layout. Get up close and personal or stay back and chill by the bar. Great sound. Super friendly staff. Fairly priced drinks. My only knock is the parking and the cost for coat check. Aside from that... 5 stars across the board for this venue.

Came to see The HU. The staff is friendly and helpful. The space is large and clean. It was nice to have an air conditioned venue for once. The drinks are not super outrageous. The bathrooms are kept clean and well stocked. The stairs are the only real downfall to this venue.

This place was amazing. Easy to find. Located directly in the middle of businesses. Parking is easy if your from there. The place itself was big enough to house 750 people plus. It was lighted nicely and bathrooms were clean AF. The bartenders had a wonderful display of alcohol and didn't mind helping you pick something out. It was a no cash event and nobody had any issues with their cards. Great place. Good location.

Awesome new music spot in Buffalo. Here’s some pics of the venue. The map on the website is a little confusing but makes perfect sense in person. The VIP areas are to the left and ADA seats to the right of the stage.

First time at the venue !
Really liked that it was clean, well kept.
The stage is down and you can see it from 3 different side. Plus a upstairs VIP if you wanna dine and watch the show. The bar is in a nice spot that you can drink and also see the show very well !
Acoustics were good as well ! Over all 10/10

Great little venue in the heart of downtown Buffalo. Industrial yet intimate. Not too large or too small...

Also, very clean (newly renovated) with on-site parking. The sound of the room was very good too. Not boomy. Saw the Aristocrats rock the room!

We visited recently to see the Haluci Nation, and then again to see The Hu and The Funeral Portrait, play, and for us, it was great. We chose to be in the 'standing' section rather than paying extra for a table, which got us closer to the stage and gave more room for dancing. The table areas are roped off, and had security checking tickets. If I were going again, for a performance that I wouldn't want to dance to, I might take a table up on the balcony, though they're off to the side of the stage.

And to answer a question that I overheard several times on both our visits, yes, it's the same location as The Tralf, but from my memories of being in The Tralf years ago it's been reconfigured a bit. The overall comparison that I get is that it seems like there's more open space to the new arrangement.

Just a note, when you get a ticket you pay fees no matter if you buy online or in person, and they have extra fees for purchasing day-of. While we found great parking on Pearl Street, I could see parking getting pricey if Shea's was having a performance at the same time I wanted to attend something at Electric City.

Last note, drinks start at $12 (~24 oz beers), and mixed drink pricing wasn't listed on the bar menu.
