NIGHTLIFE: THE CLUB & MUSIC SCENE Frommer
Beacon Theatre

This pleasing midsize Upper West Side venue -- a 1928 Art Deco movie palace with an impressive lobby, stairway, and auditorium seating about 2,700 -- hosts mainly pop music performances, usually for the over-30 crowd. Featured acts have ranged from street-smart pop diva Sheryl Crow to handsome-as-ever Bryan Ferry to befuddled Beach Boy Brian Wilson to Grateful Dead heirs apparent Phish to not-yet-deads the Allman Brothers. You'll also find such special events as the bodybuilding "Night of Champions" on the mix-and-match calendar.

2124 Broadway.Phone: 212/496-7070.Subway: 1, 2, 3, 9 to 72nd St.
