Infinity Music Hall: A Guide.
Infinity Music Hall runs two of Connecticut's best intimate rooms. The Hartford hall seats ~500, or 650 standing. It opened in 2014 on Front Street. The historic Norfolk opera house seats ~300, in an 1883 building. Both are audiophile-grade listening rooms with an on-site Bistro. Every seat here is a good one.
Do you care about actually hearing a show? Infinity Music Hall is hard to beat. It has two very different buildings. One is a sleek downtown room. The other is a 19th-century opera house. Infinity is known for excellent sound and smart bookings. Add a dinner-and-a-show format for a complete night out.
Infinity Hartford (~500 / 650 standing).
Infinity Hartford is at 32 Front Street. It opened in 2014. The hall holds about 500. That's roughly 400 seats on the orchestra level, plus a 100-seat mezzanine. Staff can remove the orchestra seats. Then the floor opens for standing shows of around 650. That means seated acoustic evenings. Or standing rock and tribute nights. It's a short walk from downtown's restaurants.
Best for: intimate seated concerts and flexible standing shows downtown.

The original Infinity is up in the northwest hills. It's a gem. The Norfolk building dates to 1883. Bridgeport architect George Palliser designed it. It was first an opera house, saloon, and barbershop. It was called the Norfolk Opera House. It spent decades as a restaurant and grocery. Then it was fixed up. It opened as a music hall in 2007. It kept its original stage and woodwork. The room seats roughly 300: about 250 on the stage level plus 50 in the mezzanine. It's a charming place to see a show. One of the best in the state.
Best for: a destination night in a historic, great-sounding room.
