The vaulted ceilings that once sheltered the red-sauce ca­rnage of Spaghetti Warehouse are now reverberating with the beats of the city’s hottest new mostly-indie music venue. And though with three full bars, a balcony and a sizeable standing-room floor, Union Transfer may seem as cavernous as the restaurant that preceded it, the space feels surprisingly intimate: It’s plenty big enough for writhing around to Neon Indian, but also small enough for you to enjoy the folksy delicacy of Gillian Welch.
