Made for Musical Moments

Where performance meets atmosphere, and creativity feels personal.

At Maxwell Social, the setting shapes the experience. Our Tribeca brownstone offers something rare among New York venues — the comfort of a home, the style of a private club, and the flexibility to host intimate performances, including live music and theatre.

We’re not a concert hall, and we don’t aim to be. Instead, we offer a place where an acoustic set can complement a seated dinner, where a DJ can shift the mood of the Grand Room, and where smaller performances become a seamless part of a social evening.

What We've Hosted

Our space can be arranged to bring a wide range of performances to life — from live music and DJ sets to small-format theatre. We’ve hosted musicians across styles, DJs for private events, and artists exploring various forms of expression.

Additionally, Maxwell is equipped with a technical setup that supports the needs of intimate performance. The environment is designed to adapt and support creative production.

The Artist Experience

Maxwell isn’t a conventional venue. It’s a space that invites connection, where creative expression naturally blends into the evening’s rhythm.

Many artists who’ve performed at Maxwell have remarked on the difference: the warmth of the setting, the closeness of the audience, and the easy flow from performance to conversation. It’s not unusual for performers to join guests for dinner or return to attend future events.

Interested in hosting a private showcase, launch, or immersive performance? Let’s talk about how to shape the night around your work, your audience, and your story.
