The people who patronize the Vic Theater do not seem to mind that it is somewhat rundown, dreary, dilapidated, dank and falling apart. It is all part of the charm of a crumbling once-luxurious five-story vaudeville house with floors and stairways of Italian marble. Customers pack in to hear various rock acts like Skinny Puppy, the Black Keys and Jackson Browne. On non-concert nights (which means three to four nights a week), the Vic is home to "Brew & View," an ongoing series of second-run and cult films (during screenings of which, moviegoers can drink cheap booze and smoke pack after pack of Marlboros. It is just like your living room back home, with a bigger screen, better acoustics, a balcony (with wonderful sight lines) - and a funkier smell. The Vic can easily accommodate 1400 people with seating for 1000.

Brew & View at the Vic Theatre
Ongoing
If you even happen to visit the Vic Theatre and there is not a concert on offer do not be disappointed there is the Brew & View which features Indie movies, classics and highlights of great tv shows. The crowd here usually pass comments and crack jokes even when the movie is ongoing and some zesty patrons even dance to the music, so if you like catching flicks in peace and quiet, this place is not for you. Show timings and dates may vary as per concert schedules. Please check the website for details.
