The Metropolitan Room is housed in a landmark 1898 building. This vintage space now plays host to an updated take on the idea of a music club, combining state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems with old-world charm and style. Similar to the high-end equipment used in concert halls, these systems fill the room with crisp, clear sound to generate unparalleled cabaret and jazz performances.
