A landmark on the outskirts of Chinatown, this former burlesque theater is one of the city’s busiest and most versatile venues.
The main roster most frequently consists of up-and-coming punk rockers, metal enthusiasts, and the occasional indie-rock stalwart courtesy of R5 Productions, while the “Balcony Bar” on the 2nd floor provides the pre-gaming and after-parties with deejays and a smaller yet just as mighty stage.
On Monday nights, the venue even doubles as a movie theater, showing both new releases and cult classics to a packed house.
