Avenues West

Avenues West sits just west of downtown Milwaukee, and W. Wisconsin Avenue, its main spine, carries two of the city's most distinct music venues. The Rave / Eagles Club, Milwaukee's largest independently owned entertainment facility, is a National Register landmark spanning 160,000 square feet with seven distinct venues, each ranging in capacity from 300 to 3,500. The showpiece Eagles Ballroom features a 25,000-square-foot oval wooden dancefloor, a large domed ceiling, and a stage, while smaller rooms handle up-and-coming and regional acts. The Rave has hosted rock, pop, and alternative headliners including Disturbed, The Killers, Megadeth, and Rob Zombie, and current bookings run from metal and hip-hop to banda and reggaeton. A few blocks east on the same avenue, the Marquette University Varsity Theatre is a renovated 1,154-seat hall inside Holthusen Hall, built in 1937, that serves as a lecture hall, concert venue, and cinema. Its calendar draws primarily from the university community and local performers. Together, the two venues give Avenues West a live-music range that few Milwaukee neighborhoods can match on a single street.
