Lee's Palace

Rated this place:

Equal parts concert space and dance nightclub, Lee’s brings me back to the memories of my youth: With parties like the alternative glam-rock club-gay Vazaleen (now defunct), which brought out the drag queen in me wearing a seven-inch platform shoes, and of course the long-running and ever-popular Dance Cave that gave free admission to students carrying a valid form of student identification. Cheap beer also brought massive flocks of students and turned this venue into more than an Annex frat party.

It's not too big or too small. The location is also great! I sometimes won't go to a show if it's not at Lee's.

Rock music venue

Rated this place:

I love Lee’s. The view is usually good, especially post-renovation, and it’s a simple, no-frills music venue with lots of stalls in the women’s washroom so there are no lineups. Now that’s reason enough.

Small venue where you're literally right in front of the band; good sightlines; see many up and coming bands for around $10!
