Der 1929 eröffnete Commodore Ballroom ist legendär. Als Mitte der 1990er Jahre seine Art Déco-Türen geschlossen wurden, gab es von Gästen wie Musikern laute Proteste. Vor kurzem ist der Ballroom aufwändig renoviert worden (der Tanzboden lagert auf Autoreifen und bringt in Schwung, was auf ihm steht) und feiert eine springlebendige Renaissance. In dem prächtigen Konzertsaal, der 1000 Personen fasst, sind schon so berühmte Musiker wie Dizzy Gillespie, Tina Turner, Nirvana und The Clash aufgetreten. Aktuell lassen hier Bands wie Stereolab und die Flaming Lips von sich hören. Im Vergnügungsviertel der Innenstadt gelegen, bietet sich der Ballroom als Station eines Stadtbummels an.
