Description
The Commodore Ballroom is a renowned music venue, dance floor, and nightclub located on 800 block of Granville Street in Vancouver, British Columbia. The building was built in the Art Deco style of the late 1920s by George Conrad Reifel and designed by architect H.H. Gillingham. Best known for showcasing special performances, the venue is equally as famous for its sprung dance floor. Beneath the floor lies a horsehair lining which at the time only a few venues in the world showcased similar floors.
The general admission ballrooms hosts approximately 990 guests (including standing room and table seating).
The street level of the building was built for retail outlets, some of them in their time also notable. Downstairs, below street level, is the Commodore Lanes, a vintage bowling alley and poolroom.
