Center 548

Went to the Better booze festival here. It is a great venue with open space. It had 3 floors and a very spacious elevator.

Center 548 is a very spacious event space. It consists of 3 floors. I have usually attended food & wine events here. The walls are all white with wood flooring. Because each floor is so wide open you never have that feeling of being too cramped with a large amount of people in attendance, as some tasting events can be.
Side note… my 100^th review. Yay! lol

I went here for a second glass event and the space is humongous. Luckily with how everything was set up — it was easy to navigate between the floors. And I am also glad that they had bathrooms. For some reason when I see these events I think of port a potties.
What I didn’t like were the stairs. I am curious if they had any sort of elevator that we could’ve used instead of walking up and down those narrow stairs. Especially when it is a wine tasting event — tall narrow New York stairs are dangerous.
I will say though if there’s another event on the west side I wouldn’t mind if it’s this location. Would I want to rent the space for a personal event? Meh not if they had a lift. I wouldn’t want people taking the stairs going up and down.

A very cool multi-​floor venue for events. There’s a bit of stairs to take, but it’s worth it for how big each floor is. Came here for a Wine Riot tasting event via Second Glass. Not sure who I should be thanking more (the venue or the company), but it was incredibly well run. There was a ton of space available, even with a ton of people moving from booth to booth. The bathrooms were like fancy porta-​potties, but in a good way. The building staff was nice. All in all, I thought it was a great venue.

A nice venue to host the Wine Riot event. Tons of space. Tons of people showed up. A well set up event. 3 floors of wine companies to show case what kind of wines they got. You get your own personal wine glass, so you can sample the wines. A few wine drinkers that had a few too many samples. Lots of good tasting wines and a some bad tasting wines. My personal favorite was from table 10, Caposaldo. They were serving Moscato, Sweet Pink Merlot Moscato, and a Sparkling Peach Moscato. They were all sweet, great tasting wines. I liked it so much, I went and got seconds. The most drinking I have done in quite some time. Overall a great event that I got to go too.

Huge space.
Awesome space.
If I’m going to trek all the way over to the west side for an event than I hope it’s in this space.

Fun Facts:
There are three floors + a rooftop. If you’re at a large event — don’t bother with the roof, it’s typically overrun with smokers.
The event I attended was set up like this: food/​drinks/​tables on the 2^nd floor and a dance floor/​drinks on the 3^rd. It was nice to be able to go downstairs after dancing and get refreshments and cool down a bit in a less crowded space.
Each floor has realllly tall ceilings and clean white walls = endless possibilities if designing & decorating for a party.
Elevator is the size of many NYC apartments and allows for a dramatic grand entrance on the 2^nd or 3^rd floors.
Bathrooms on all levels were clean & at least two attendants were manning each.
The entire place has concrete floors — wear comfy shoes!

Center 548 hosted the Lobster Rumble event that I recently attended. The space is amazing! When we first arrived, the entrance was gated like a garage door. Once we entered, the garage door closed. Little did I know but this entrance was also the freight elevator. We were on the 3^rd floor and had access to the roof. Amazing. I would totally love to own a property similar to this.
The only issue was that since that space was so huge, it was hard to keep cool with the large number of people at the event.

This venue is definitely not lacking in space– 34,000 square feet! It’s easy to feel excited entering the industrial warehouse environment in massive freight elevators. Located in the center of the Chelsea Arts District — it’s an excellent choice to suit any of your private event needs. Though confusing to navigate after a few drinks, it’s divided into 3 floors and a roof deck with stunning views of Manhattan and the Hudson River.
