Overview: While electronic dance music shows prevail at the Westcott Theater and the Oncenter venues, rock, punk rock, and alternative rock are the predominant music categories at Syracuse’s own Lost Horizon. This venue, which was established in the 1970’s and previously went by the names,  ‘32 Degrees’ and ‘Club Tundra,’ serves as one of Syracuse’s premier venues for all shows of the rock and punk-rock genres.

Though not the most aesthetically pleasing building at first glance, the Lost Horizon should not be judged by its outward appearance. The venue, which was recently renovated on the inside, is completely refurnished and decorated in a manner that any show-goer or bar-hopper could appreciate. The Lost Horizon is a two level venue; the first level contains the stage, bar and bathrooms, and the second level houses room for more seating. Also on the first level, there is always a merchandise table set up (although exclusively during concerts). Despite the rather small size of the venue, its layout is structured in a way that provides ample room for audience members to both enjoy the show and easily shop for merchandise.

Unfortunately, because of its location, many students are unaware of this venue, as it is only easily accessible via car. However, if students have access to a car, and are looking for a night of good music and good drinks (if they are 21 years or older of course), The Lost Horizon is certainly the place to go.
