About Empress Lounge

Empress Lounge is an intimate, live performance space tucked inside the Vallejo Center for the Arts, adjacent to the historic Empress Theatre in Vallejo, California. With a cozy cabaret setup and a small stage, this venue is ideal for up-close musical performances, intimate theatre, cinema screenings, and private events. The lounge typically accommodates around 65–70 guests depending on the configuration, offering an up-close experience that makes every show feel personal. We’ve got the details to help you secure your seats and plan a smooth visit.

Whether you’re catching regular blues nights like Vallejo Blues Wednesdays or a special Empress Theatre production, Empress Lounge combines a friendly, low-key atmosphere with dependable accessibility. Parking is convenient downtown, with a lot opposite the theatre and metered street spots nearby. Transit options include nearby Bus 180 service and close proximity to the Vallejo Ferry Terminal. For a complete night out, consider nearby lodging such as Vallejo Inn or Red Roof Inn Vallejo, both within 1–2 miles, along with local dining options. If you’re planning an event or private rental, we can help coordinate seating arrangements and space use to fit your guest list.
