Opened in April 2011, the 2,500 square feet (230 m2) venue was known for its heavy metal atmosphere. The magazine Kerrang! described Saint Vitus as "one of the most important locations to see loud music in the entire world." Pitchfork named it "The Best Metal Bar in New York City".
In February 2024, the New York City Department of Buildings shut down Saint Vitus over multiple violations. In August 2024, Saint Vitus' owners announced that the venue was permanently closed.
