A century of history
The historic team of Pearl, 131, was once at home for the draft horses used in Pearl Brewing. Designed by the architect Otto Kraemer and built in 1894, the structure was restored and converted into an event place in 2006.

Wood Hall was selected to develop and manage the stable hall music place, taking advantage of its vast experience in the development of the music place.
