entertainment venue

Place for performances

An entertainment venue is a place designed to host performances, events, or activities for audiences—concert halls, theaters, stadiums, nightclubs, comedy clubs, arenas.

The term emphasizes the location's purpose rather than its architecture: The city approved permits for a new entertainment venue downtown.

Venue alone often suffices when context is clear.
