'''The Show Palace''' was a live rock music venue located on at 9005 W Highway 98 near Blue Angel Parkway. It was owned by Fred "Sport" Suttles, and first managed by Ken Bookout, then by Mary Ham. Formerly In the 1970s the location was dba The Brass Rail, and since June 3, 1980, a country music venue known as the Corral Lounge, it opened in the spring of 1985 with the intentions to "save rock and roll in Pensacola". After the recent closings of Franco's Lounge, Franco's All-Nite Affair, and Jere's Rock and Roll Showcase, there were no large capacity (more than 150 guests), free standing, live entertainment rock clubs in town. It's staff was made up of mostly former employees of the aforementioned establishments.
