The Observatory

The historic North Park Theatre is under new ownership and has been completely revamped to become San Diego's newest concert/music/nightlife venue, The Observatory North Park. Located in the thriving community of North Park, on University Avenue, the theatre is a multi-faceted event destination with the ability to host everything from major touring acts to fully-catered corporate events. The theatre will accommodate 1,100 in it's newly designed, tiered open-floor configuration and can also be scaled down to a seated configuration of 550 comfortable seats. Under new ownership, and with participation of Tim Mays from the Casbah, the theatre is being transformed into a modern day nightlife destination. Sightlines in the venue are superb from any spot on the new tiered floor. The venue is equipped with new state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems specifically designed to fit the room's needs. Full service bars are available in the lobby areas of the theatre for all events. The venue will also be able to accommodate all-ages crowds Sunday through Wednesday nights. Catering in North Park is available for corporate or private events as well from West Coast Tavern. Here is a sampling of the types of events that The North Park Theatre can accommodate: Concerts, Album Release Parties, Theatrical Events, Plays, Films, Comedy, Product Launches, Cocktail Parties, Fundraisers, Corporate Events and Meetings, Fashion Shows, Dinner Parties, and More.
