Located at 97 Hanover Street, Manchester, NH, the Crown Theatre opened in 1925 and was renamed to the Variety Theatre in 1955. In 1961, the theatre closed and in 2014 it became an office space. Today, it is a tavern pub, “The Crown Tavern.” The tavern stays "true to their roots" and highlights the Crown Theatre's history on their website. The Crown Tavern moved over to 99 Hanover Street, Manchester, NH but makes sure to base their tavern off of two principles: "never forget where you came from, and never forget where you came to eat." The Crown Tavern makes sure to remind the public of the history of Manchester, NH and one of the city's many ghost theatres.
