After a 2-year-long closure, beloved event space the North Door will reopen its doors near its original location. Owner Mark Bradford speaks to us about venue updates, programming, and the long journey out of the pandemic.
The North Door will return as an events, music, and creative space later this month, albeit in a smaller footprint relative to its longtime sound studio space at Fifth Street and Brushy.that he's working to reopen the business in a retail space roughly one block east of its former location, which now operates as the Parish live music venue. Bradford decided to close the 300-capacity venue in September of 2020, after being closed for nearly six months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We want to have music programming. It just wouldn't be larger acts – more smaller acts, maybe even more DJ-oriented sets for music," he said."It's been a long road back, but we want to continue to have a nice space for Austin to have the monthly [events] we've loved over the years. I wanted to bring them back."
He said the room, which previously featured live music as the Lemon Lounge listening room and the Punctum Records Studium record store before that, will be arranged cabaret style. The space will offer beverages and a small menu of prepared foods from longtime partner Pueblo Viejo, with mostly afternoon and evening hours available for gatherings that support the local creative community.
