With tonight’s Mickey Hart concert being moved from the Neighborhood Theatre to CPCC’s Halton Theatre, some people might be wondering what the holdup is. The new management of the NoDa venue, which took over in early March, is hard at work making sure the upgrades are finished, all permits are completed (including the liquor license) and all of the “i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed.”
To give you a glimpse of what’s to come, here’s a look at the new bar that is in the main entry room of the theatre, and the ramp/landing for the bar in the main concert hall.
Along with this new addition and some repainted walls are upgraded and remodeled bathrooms. There’s a lot in store for the Neighborhood Theatre in the coming weeks and months including cleaning off the front windows and upgrading the balcony. From what we’ve seen so far, it’s definitely worth the wait.

The line for that new bar in the concert hall will be a huge traffic issue for crowded shows.
Looking pretty good. I know a lot of people will be upset about any change to Neighborhood, and its a bit sad for me too, but I’m hoping this will age nicely and gradually get the murals, layers of stickers, grit, and idiosyncrasies that have always made it a cool place, just on top of some better bones (better bar, sound system, and bathrooms).
