Fodor's Expert Review Thalia Hall

A few blocks east of 18th Street's hustle and bustle, this neighborhood landmark was built in 1892 but shuttered for decades, and reopened as a stunning multipurpose space in 2013. The focal point is a concert hall, elegantly fashioned after a Prague opera house, which hosts a broad range of musical performances and artsy events. Dusek's Tavern, an upscale neighborhood tavern, Punch House, a hip and moodily lit lounge for the cocktail crowd, and Tack Room, a cocktail bar featuring live music in the former carriage house, are also on the premises.
