Mohawk's Bomb. Bar's cool, sounds great, bands are usually very good. Waaaaay better than Nietches.

I liked it a lot better before they got super strict about ins and outs and stage diving. You can't control the actions of kids at shows, so why punish everyone?

I've seen a variety of shows here and I've been to many of their dance parties. The "Transmission" dance parties are always a blast. They're 18+ so the majority of the dance party goers are barely legal but it's still a good time. The music is generally 80s new wave, electronic, dance music. The bar itself is interesting. On busy nights, I've seen cash, cases of beer, and liquor bottles in disarray behind the bar. They do not serve wine because who drinks wine at a punk show? It is a great place to see live music though. I've seen small shows inside and out front in the summer. I've seen sold out shows. The sound is usually on point, the selection is usually punk, rock, sometimes local bands performing. Yes the bathrooms are absolutely atrocious.

I stumbled into Mohawk Place after I went to a few other bars with some close friends... I had gotten there after all the shows were over.
We eneded up being the last people in the bar, and the bartender (or bouncer) ended up sticking around and chilling with us until we finally left. They entertained my friends alcohol antics and seemed to be good company.
I don't know what they say about the shows.... But I would for sure go back to the bar :) -

I've only been here once (a few weekends ago - 3/5/11) to see Jonathan Richman and I had a blast.
The place is a perfect small live music venue, and other than the fact that they had no wine (beer and mixed drinks only), and the ladies room was pretty scary, I loved it. -

CLASSIC BUFFALO NY MUSIC VENUE.
**This rating is prefaced by saying the quality of acts is far superior than the establishment itself.
Good bartenders.
Cold Beer.
Intimate Stage Setting.
At least they have bathrooms (?)
Always filtering in up and coming local and national acts as well as supporting established ones - Mohawk will stand the test of time.
The White Stripes have played here.....nuff said.
ICONIC is a perfect word. -

There is definitely that dirty, smelly, rock show atmosphere here. I actually find it to be more crowded during transmission dance parties (and more pretentious, and not nearly as fun) then it is during actual shows here... It can be kind of hit or miss. Sometimes, it's awesome to see a little (almost) no name band here who will get off the stage and make conversation with fans and maybe invite you to hang out after the show.. but other times it just feels like we're trying to convince ourselves that this place is actually a good venue when it's really not.
Well, if nothing else, it IS Buffalo... and I HAVE had some good memories and seen some amazing bands here live. I guess I'll take what I can get, I'd rather have the Mohawk then nothing. -

Saw MMJ back in the aughts...
Only question is why does some shitty band pop up when I go try to go to their website? -

Well, since expanding, Mohawk Place is now slightly larger than my kitchen, but I still use that measure for comparison when bragging about the acts I saw crammed on the tiny stage pre-2002. The draw of the bands that came through was enough to make my pals and I pile in the car and drive from Rochester. It's dark, cheap, and a bit scummy, so pretty much everything you want in a rock and roll music venue. Even when I'm an old lady and my tattoos are sagging towards the earth, I'll be glad this was the first place I saw Th' Legendary Shack*Shakers, Rilo Kiley, The Mooney Suzuki, and Captured By Robots.

A great venue to see a band. Just saw the Felice Brothers there last night and witnessed one of the best shows I've seen. It is a small space that allows for an intimate performance. It is a grimy interior that echoes the urban decay of the surrounding area. The bathroom looked like someone "upperdecked" the toilet. The only real downfall of the joint was the beer selection. Other than that, I really liked the setup. The guys who run it seem to know how to book a good show.
