The spacious three-story space, formerly a movie theater and then a sports bar, has been completely redesigned and rebuilt as a performance venue.  Special attention was paid to acoustic elements and outfited a top-of-the-line sound system for the venue.

The central music hall can accommodate audiences of up to 550. Depending on the genre of music and the size of the expected crowd, flexible seating arrangements can offer cabaret seating at small tables; seats in rows; or standing room and a large dance floor.

The venue features a plushly appointed Front Lounge with intimate groupings of couches and comfortable chairs. The lower level offers a lounge with pool tables and the capability for live video and sound feeds from the stage. 

The third floor of the venue contains the Port City Music Hall administrative and production offices as well as a spacious Green Room for the artists â complete with separate dressing room, shower, and a rooftop deck.
