East Village staple the Bowery Electric is set to close at the end of the month after 17 years — and reopen as a 100-seat theater, The Post has learned. The longtime rock den at 327 Bowery – which has hosted famed acts from Patti Smith to Green Day (using the alias Foxboro Hot Tubs) – will rebrand as the Bowery Palace when it reopens on Feb. 18.
