State Theatre
Falls Church's State Theatre is not the only classic movie theater to be transformed into a rock venue; but it's probably the only one that can tout the fact that the final film to grace its big screen was Die Hard. If that’s not rock n’ roll, I don’t know what is.
The State Theater is known throughout the Metro area for its vintage art deco design and naturally rich acoustics. Since reopening as a performance venue after a series of major restorations in the late 1990s, the State Theater has staged rock superstars representing just about every living generation, from Jimmie Buffet to John Mayer, Greg Allman to...Hanson. Recent bookings tend to be tailored to a somewhat older crowd and are not restricted to modern rock, including tribute bands, blues, funk, pop, and even an occasional comedian. It's also one of the only medium-sized music venues in the area with a full kitchen and table service during most shows.
A rock n’ roll dinner theater? Not quite as badass as John McClane, but a nice touch nonetheless.
