Loosely refers to the area where the audience would be. Anywhere forward from the stage edge as seen from the stage.

Front of House.

Main mixing location.
To expound, where the mixing station is for the sound going to the audience, as opposed to that where the monitor mixing takes place.

Front of House is what the audience hears; which is usually vastly different from what the band hears.
