Lowbrow Palace
Located on East Robinson Avenue, Lowbrow Palace’s name sells itself short. It’s neither lowbrow nor is it a palace.

This intimate venue is a great place to see who’s who in the up and coming music scene of El Paso. Acts like Ed Maverick, Motel Radio, Scarlett O’Hara, Pinback, Grayscale, and Beach Bums are just a few bands you can see at Lowbrow.
Pop acts, country singers, grunge bands, and more all pass through Lowbrow as they shoot for the stars. Shows are for all ages, and ticket prices vary. Check out Lowbrow’s website for a full list of who’s playing and when.
