Visulite Theatre
1615 Elizabeth Ave
Charlotte, NC 28204
www.visulite.com

This one-time consignment store and many times various kinds of theaters, Visulite Theatre is a  historical building that is now home to some of the hottest live music in the area. On any given night, you'll hear live jazz, bluegrass, rock, salsa and alternative music filling the club. The Visulite holds 540 people standing and can accommodate 225 seated. Many members of the Elizabeth neighborhood frequent the club, which attracts primarily an adult crowd.

Visulite has shared parking with most of the neighbors directly across the street, as well as additional parking off of Travis Avenue behind the club. Although word to the wise: they DO NOT share parking with Starbucks. They will tow. Just sayin…

To answer the most important question the people are asking: Yes, Visulite has a full service bar with sodas, juices, bottled water, beer, wine, and liquor.  Hooyah!

Yelpers often say it best, so here’s a few snippets of what Yelp reviewers/customers/awesome people have to say:

“Visulite is like a little black dress.  No matter the occasion, this outfit works.  From the more local stuff to the bigger name acts, it is a lot of fun to catch a show here.  Better than any stadium or arena show for sure.  Charlotte should be proud of this venue.  It rocks, jams, & grooves.”

“ Love this place. Very 1920's cinema feel to it.  Not row seating, but cinema seating.  Think Vegas lounge lizards...with an area for front row standups about 6 people deep.”

“They have the bar at the top in the back when you walk in and then there is a small set of stairs where there is a mid level with chairs and stools, then there is a ramp that goes down to a pit area that runs up to the stage.  The setup allows for great acoustics and an intimate feel when watching any performance.”

“Its a cool place: dark and with a sorta historical feel. There's a giant bar in the back and a stage area in the front, in front of which is a pit area where you can dance around in front of whatever band is performing; around this pit are bar stools and tables where you can sit and drink while watching. I stood in this area, away from the drunken masses in front of me, and enjoyed the show.”

“I get warm fuzzies just thinking about the Visulite.  It's cool, laid-back, and almost feels like you have stepped into a time warp....like some sort of dimly lit lounge from the '50's.  The first place I ever saw a concert in Charlotte and I was hooked.  The prices are standard bar, slightly overpriced with teeny tiny cups for mixed drinks.  But, if the band you are seeing rocks, then it's all good.  Sounds quality is excellent and can be LOUD!!!”
