Middle East – Downstairs Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Introduction to the Venue

The Middle East is a legendary live music venue known for its intimate atmosphere and eclectic lineup. The downstairs stage offers an up-close experience, making it a favorite for fans of indie, rock, and alternative acts.

Seating Chart Overview

• General Admission (Standing Room): Directly in front of the stage—ideal for energetic crowds but can get crowded.
• Mid-Section Standing: Balanced view with slightly more space, though sightlines may be obstructed by taller attendees.
• Raised Bar Area: Elevated sightlines but farther from the stage; great for casual viewers.

Best Seats for Different Events
