Earlybirds Club (21 and Over)

Earlybirds Club turns Webster Hall into a daytime dancefloor with an early door and an evening finish.

Daytime rave21+Webster Hall

Earlybirds Club takes everything about a proper club night and moves it forward several hours, so Webster Hall's balconied main room fills up while it is still light outside. The rig is the same, the crowd is the same age, and you are out with your evening intact. If you love dancing but have stopped enjoying 3am, this is the format built for you.

What to expect

You walk into Webster Hall's main hall with its balconies and vaulted ceiling, already full and already loud. The sets run continuously with no headline-time drama, and the room empties at a reasonable hour. Expect a crowd of adults who came specifically to dance.

Good to know

  • Take the L to Third Ave or the 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R, W to 14th St-Union Square
  • Entry is strictly for adults over 21, so bring photo ID
  • Coat and bag checks exist but the room gets warm, so travel light
  • Arriving near doors gets you the balcony rail spots
  • Best for people who want a full club sound system without a late finish
  • The East Village has plenty of food within a block for afterwards
