Wednesday nights for an evening of music from the '40s and '50s. Customers got a sneak preview of the lounge March 17 when Krause opened it for one night in observation of St. Patrick's Day.
In May, Krause plans to expand his business with the opening of an outdoor dining area - The Garden. This area, he said, will be a place families may come to relax, eat and enjoy the outdoor entertainment. Sandwiches, side orders and beverages will be served from the club's kitchen -under construction - to both the Garden and the lounge.

The Palladium and Lounge is located in the building that housed the former Ganders club. The club has a north entrance on Fourth Street and is located behind the Overbrook Pharmacy.
