club-theater~300 cap

A converted former Baptist church on N Mississippi Ave, rebuilt into a small, tightly-designed listening room known for its custom acoustic walls and serious sound. Opened in 2003, it books a genre-spanning calendar including synthwave and indie-electronic alongside indie rock, in an intimate club-theater setting.

Getting there

Parking

Street parking only on Mississippi Ave and side streets; limited, so the venue recommends rideshare, taxi, or biking, especially for later arrivals.

What ravers say

80/100

Reviewers consistently single out the room's acoustics and audio engineering as a standout, calling the sound 'phenomenal' in a sharp, purpose-built space, though a few note sound quality can vary by show/engineer. Parking is the main recurring frustration given the street-only, limited supply.
