In Pollstar's 2014 rankings of the top clubs worldwide in terms of ticket sales, The Pageant was 6th.[2] In 2008, the ranking was 4th.[3]
The venue has a main concert hall; the Halo Bar, a wet bar and smaller stage for smaller performances; and Suite 100, a retail shop that sells concert merchandise. It is one of the area's few handicapped-accessible venues.
Named for a long-demolished movie theatre that sat three blocks to the east on Delmar Boulevard,[4] the Pageant has a facade and marquee whose bright colors and neon lights are designed to evoke a classic movie theater.[5]
