An iconic spot for entertainment, Pete’s Candy Store (not a candy store) has welcomed notable musicians, actors, and comedians throughout the decades. Dua Lipa filmed her music video for “Don’t Start Now” at Pete’s. Norah Jones performed on that very same stage with Puss n Boots. Lake Street Drive filmed a Tiny Desk Concert for NPR there. Plus, the 2011 film Our Idiot Brother shot scenes at Pete’s.
