Accommodating 150 people seated (350 cocktail style) the venue is perfect for record release parties and other industry events.

Editorial Review for Crash Mansion – by Janet Tzou

The Scene
Nestled in the basement of 18,000-square-foot restaurant-and-club complex BLVD, Crash Mansion feels like somebody's hip basement--complete with a small performance stage, a clean-sounding system and equipment for streaming live shows to the Internet. The decor is sublime but striking: Rough, slate-colored stone bricks get softened by dim lighting, while a separate bar and lounge foyer offers a relaxed congregation area before and after bands perform. Booths and tables line the perimeter of the concert floor, where a DJ takes over after performances.

The Draw
It's rare to find an upscale live music venue in the city, let alone a new, modern-looking one--and this spot books both up-and-coming bands and more established names (Norah Jones was one of the first talents to grace the stage). On weekends, find multiple band showcases from 7:30pm until midnight, after which patrons can step upstairs for a taste of the more trendy BLVD.

I have seen many bands play there and I have always had a great time. I have seen the Freams Dozens of times all over the Tri-state area and I am very exited to hear they are playing at my favorite venue. This band is unbelievably infectious.
