You don’t need to do everything. Start here, follow your curiosity, and make this one your own.
Choose the music first.
Look through the Spanish Ballroom’s official calendar and find a show that sounds like your kind of night. Read that performance’s ticket details, age policy, and door time. Check the calendar for music nights to pair with dinner.
Build dinner around it.
Elks Temple brings several restaurants and bars into one historic building. Browse the official dining options and choose the one that fits your evening. Leave enough time between your meal and the show; service, seating, and availability can vary.
Enjoy the building, too.
The restored 1916 building is part of the outing. Give yourself a little time to arrive and find your bearings rather than aiming for the last possible minute. Agree on your journey home before the evening gets going, then settle in and enjoy the music.
