Lucas and Jenkins Theatres built the Euclid Theatre as a cinema in 1940, opening on October 4 with My Favorite Wife. It closed in July 1962 and later served as a plumbing-supply warehouse. After Mayor Maynard Jackson intervened, the Little Five Points Partnership sold it, and it reopened in 1984 as the Ellis Cinema after a $250,000 renovation. The Ellis closed in August 1988; in 1989 Paul Blane took over the building to stage live performances.

The building opened in 1940 as the Euclid Theatre, a cinema named for its Euclid Avenue address, with a neon marquee spelling "Euclid" in block letters. A painted "Euclid Theatre Entrance" sign above the stage door was still visible in 2009. Today the hall stages rock, indie, electronic, funk, country, folk, bluegrass, jazz, blues and world music.

The venue sits on Euclid Avenue in Little Five Points, and the entrance is marked by a painted "Euclid Theatre Entrance" sign above the stage door on the southeast corner. The interior was redesigned with 310 seats plus small mezzanines along the outer walls for tables and chairs, and a small bar with extra seating at the rear.

The Euclid's 1940 auditorium had a staggered seating plan so that no seat sat directly behind another, and a neon marquee spelled "Euclid" in block letters. A painted "Euclid Theatre Entrance" sign above the southeast stage door was still visible in 2009.
