The Stafford Palace Theater

I’ve been to the Palace Theater twice for a couple of shows. I was here last Saturday night for the Red Dragon Cartel show and saw the Cherie Currie band back in November. The staff are very courteous and the venue was not over crowded. The method of buy drinks from the bar was a little interesting. You have to buy drink tickets from the guy who also sells the band merchandise and then you take the ticket over to the bar and they give you your drink there. The Palace is mostly standing room only with the exception of a few small tables on the sides. The venue is clean, including the bathrooms, which is a plus. The drinks/​beers are also reasonably priced. If the band is doing a meet and greet after the show the staff lets you hang out in the venue and it’s very organized.
Great place for local New England rock/​metal bands to be booked and play a show in front of decent crowd that are true rock/​metal fans. Hidden gem for local area rock shows for sure.
