About Sidebar Theatre

Sidebar Theatre sits at 809 Railroad Ave in Tallahassee, FL 32310. A storied venue with a rich history as a nightclub and performing arts center, it has evolved through several names, most recently known as The Side Bar Theatre. While the venue is currently closed and renamed, its past showcases—ranging from intimate music performances to eclectic acts—remain a notable chapter in Tallahassee’s cultural scene. We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan a visit, from seating considerations to nearby lodging and dining options.

Note: As this venue has undergone changes over the years, seating charts and capacity are not publicly published. Ticket platforms reference a generic seating-chart for The Side Bar Theatre. When the venue is active again, we’ll provide the most current seating information.

Getting there is straightforward via Railroad Avenue in the Railroad Square district.
