The Commodore Ballroom

Frommer's Review

Every town should have one, but sadly very few do: a huge old-time dance hall, complete with a suspended hardwood dance floor. And though the room and floor date back to the Jazz Age, the lineup nowadays includes many of the best modern bands coming through town (and also groups like the Harlem Gospel Choir). In fact, the Commodore is one of the best places to catch a midsize band -- and thanks to a renovation, the room looks better than ever. Purchase tickets through Ticketmaster (tel. 604/280-4444; www.ticketmaster.ca).
