A 1916 vaudeville house that sat half-abandoned for decades and was beautifully restored in 2017 as a mid-sized music venue. The original ornate interior was preserved with its peeling-plaster patina intact, which gives every show a haunted-grand quality you do not get anywhere else. Operated by First Avenue.
