Description
Designed in the Streamline Moderne style by Clifford Balch, this landmark operated as a movie house for over fifty years before its conversion into a live music venue. It pairs an intimate concert setting with multi-level flooring and classic chandeliers, supported by an acclaimed sound system. Visitors note its gritty, classic character, thorough security, and helpful staff alongside very small restrooms.
