Best Rock Club

In a previous life, the Columbia City Theater hosted Jimi Hendrix, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Fats Waller. Remodeled and reopened in 2010, the theater looks now like a slightly more ornate, miniature version of the Triple Door, with a total capacity of 350, a stage framed by ornamental gold scrolling, and a vaudevillian vibe that would make it a logical setting for a pre-Prohibition gangster flick. An auxiliary bar off the main entry with a second, smaller stage is ideal for acoustic acts and as a socializing hub outside the main showroom.
