I don’t know much about it’s history, but the Varsity Theater used to be a theater at the corner of Guadalupe and West 24th Street in Austin. Since closing, it was a Tower Records for years and it is now in other retail use.
If anyone knows the history of the theater, please update this description.

The Varsity had a few notable first runs, like Easy Rider and 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was the date night movie house for UT in the 60’s when I was at UT.
