Up Late at Vivian Theatre Brings Retro Cool: Florence, Alabama, is stepping back in time with the revival of Vivian Theatre, now transformed into Up Late—a ’70s and ’80s-inspired venue. This blast from the past is not just a theatre but also a cocktail bar, dance club, and a hotspot for concerts and events. Let’s dive into the details!

About Up Late at Vivian Theatre

Flashback to 1970 when the Shoals witnessed the grand opening of Martin Theatre—the first fully-automated theater in the region. Fast forward to 1988, and this cinematic haven for locals screening iconic films closed its doors. After various businesses took residence, the space was left abandoned.

But in 2022, a revival unfolded. The theater was reborn as the Vivian Theatre, with a restoration project in full swing, even boasting a handmade disco ball by Yolanda Baker, a personality featured on Oprah.

Today, the Vivian Theatre is more than a mere cinema; it’s the vibrant Up Late at Vivian Theatre—a unique mixology cocktail bar, club, and venue paying homage to the ’70s and ’80s, the golden era of Martin Theatre.
