"Built in 1921 during the Golden Age of movie houses, the beautiful Palace Theatre on Stephen Ave was declared a National Historic site in 1996. The theatre had a nine-year hiatus as a sports bar and grill decorated in ill-fitting sports regalia in the 2000s, but the 1,200 patron live entertainment venue has recently gone back to its historic routes, restored the theatre, and now hosts excellent live concerts. Grab a spot on the ground or up the gorgeous mezzanine."

Now, it is back to being a concert and event space. Look for the names of performers on the marquee out front."
