It could be a second chance at life for the venue, which has hosted the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Big Freedia and the Coup. In its lifespan of more than 15 years, locals appreciated the venue for its unusual layout. Performers like JPEGMAFIA could walk into the crowd on a short runway that extended from the stage, and fans could peer down from the balcony above. (At one show last year, a fan standing in the club’s balcony area accidentally dumped his entire drink on a touring drummer’s head.)
