Live-music venues worth the trip in Burlington, Iowa

A 1937 Art Deco theater in downtown Burlington run as a nonprofit, the Capitol’s own site says the main theater seats 367 and hosts local, regional and national acts on a 1,500-square-foot stage alongside independent and classic films and community events. The same building holds the Night Cap, a speakeasy-style cocktail bar the site says offers live music, readings, comedy and pop-up events.

A downtown Burlington club blocks from the Mississippi River, the Washington’s own site calls it music and the Mississippi, running a live-show calendar built around blues and roots acts.
