A small venue, 650 person capacity, is smaller than most clubs. I went to the Julia Michaels show that started at 7, though the doors didn't open until 7:30 or so. The opener performed for about 30 minutes and she started at 9. It's a pretty old building and not lavish by any means, but it has enough comfort to make you forget some of it's inadequacies. The first floor is standing room only and if you're not one of the first people in, mezzanine viewing is pretty much pointless. I wish there were more TV's for those that couldn't view the show well, but it did have great sound throughout the place. The rest rooms upstairs were unisex and clean at first, but later on during the night, it got pretty messy. That's what happens during a show.

Price - 5
Comfort - 3
Sound - 5
Food/Drinks - 1

A 'glass' of neat spice rum cost $20. I'd recommend you drink and use the bathroom before you go.

I'm not quite sure how 650 people found parking along the Seattle streets and I imagine parking on a weekday or Saturday is painful, but I would definitely go to another show.
