 Shepherd's Bush Empire first opened in 1903 with performances by The Fred Karno Troupe. After some decades as a TV studio-theatre for the BBC (1950s to 1990s), it was turned into a live-music venue again in 1995.

Answer: Strasbourg, France

 The "Milk shop" is situated in Strasbourg, famous for its Gothic cathedral. However, this doesn't mean that this venue is a Goth-venue only. (Sorry, but I had to make this rather stupid joke.)
