No complaints. Competes with the bigger venues in town due to quality and friendly staff, and the lights and sound are awesome here. Can't wait to go back.
Nothing against the Showbox, but this is the only downtown venue worth it's reputation. It's everything you could ever want from a medium venue. They bring in a wide variety of great artists, including many of our favorite 'lesser known' alt rock groups like We Are Scientists
Classic Seattle Rock n' Roll venue revamped for the modern age. The back bar is also nice, cozy giant booths to hide away in, with tasty wood oven pizza and is open to the public most times when there show.
Nice venue for a more personal concert experience. Cozy and vintage looking.
But holy hell it has the worst sound quality I've ever heard at a place this size. I have good ears too, I always wear earplugs. Lindsey Jordan of Snail Mail was signaling the sound guy constantly through their set and was visibly frustrated. All the sound was blown out and not well defined.
Maybe I didn't order the right thing off the menu. But the food was rather boring. I got a chicken hindquarter, some plain rice and some steamed corn and green beans that could have come from any restaurant in the Midwest except they were served with soy sauce. I was hoping for something more exotic. The place was clean and had good ambience and service was fast and friendly
