About Karl Hall

Welcome to Karl Hall, a small but mighty performance space tucked in the basement of the Polish Union Building at 57B N Main St in downtown Wilkes-Barre. Known for intimate shows that connect artists with fans, Karl Hall hosts a range of performances—from rock to indie to occasional outdoor/Backyard events—on a schedule that keeps the energy high and the atmosphere welcoming. With a flexible setup, Karl Hall offers 130 standing capacity for general admission shows and 85 seating for seated performances, making it a versatile stop in northeastern Pennsylvania’s live-music scene.

Whether you’re winding down after a day exploring Wilkes-Barre or planning a night out with friends, we’ve got you covered with practical tips on parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining. We’re your go-to source for secure, straightforward ticket purchases and up-to-date show information.

Plan ahead: parking is available in the back lot behind Karl Hall, and outdoor events have used the lot behind the North Main St location. The venue is conveniently served by downtown Wilkes-Barre public transit (LCTA/NEPTA) with connections via the Intermodal Transportation Center and multiple city bus routes.
