Top 10 Nightlife in Seattle, Washington (WA)
In Seattle you simply can’t skip the Central Public Library – a modern architectural marvel of glass grids, unusual shapes, and a “book spiral” that climbs four stories. Stroll over to Pike Place Market to visit the original Starbucks and play catch with a fishmonger. In the heart of the city lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, which will dazzle you with its colorful and delicate works. Glide to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Puget Sound.

1. Dimitriou's Jazz Alley

4.5 based on 258 reviews
This jazz club has been in Seattle for many years and features the best jazz, locally and nationally.

My son, 8 year old grandson and I drove all the way from West Vancouver to Seattle to attend a concert featuring the 14 year old prodigy, Joey Alexander, playing piano in a trio combo (and quartet for some numbers). Joey was outstanding, showing a very mature repertoire and incredible technique, with complex voicing. I can't imagine how much better he could be be when he is an adult pianist. The acoustics were great and the food in the venue above average for a jazz club. We will be back.
2. Tractor Tavern

Tractor has quickly become one of my favorite Venues in Seattle, and for good reason. While it hosts a lot of Country, Americana, and Folk shows, overall the Tractor brings an eclectic mix of all types of Music. They attract Bands with large pulls, so shows often sellout, get your tickets early! The size of the Venue is perfect, intimate, but still roomy enough where you are not packed, really not a bad place to be in the Venue, often times you can find yourself right on the stage. There is some bench style seating against the wall, for less crowded shows they will generally bring in a few tables for those sitting on the benches. Recently renovated to add a new bar out front, it can be a way to purchase drinks if there is a long bar line, as well as the addition of an additional bathroom. Tickets for shows are generally will call, and will always be 21+. Plenty of good food/drinks nearby for some prefunking or if you are looking for something to do after. If you like live music you will not be disappointed with the Tractor.

What a super cool place! Arrived on a long flight from LHR and searched around to see nice places to jump and get a dinner before trying to deal with the jet lag... Stumbled upon this place! Opened the pink door and walked down the steps into a bustling chatty cool bohemian restaurant. Food and staff are awesome, it’s not fine dining but local excellent food with a nice vibe. Oh and check out the impromptu ceiling acrobats and small amateur dramatic productions without warning in the middle of the evening!

...because it’s so darn good! I should really keep the secret to myself. Fantastic speakeasy atmosphere, tasty craft cocktails, and an extremely large selection of booze. Just note: they do not serve food. And the cocktails are strong. Guess I know where I’m going after 5 today...
