The last year has been a major trial in patience!!!!
Opening a new night club in Seattle these days, is a tough pitch with the current climate of our night life vs. urban density struggles. That's why we went to the SODO District (zoned industrial only). No condo owners to worry about and no noise issues, a neighborhood we can REALLY ROCK!!!! Still, the process has seemed endless.
We didn't want anything fancy and not a sterile box either. So we chose this amazing 100 year old building for it's untouched raw timber and blue collar history. Orignally built to house city work horses, and then used as an indoor wrecking yard. Later it was the legendary "Jukebox City" for many years. Nirvana also rehearsed for their "In Eutero" album here. We love this building and you can feel all of this history when you walk in the doors.
The permitting process and red-tape (with just about every government agency) has left us waiting and waiting. But it has given us a chance to nurture our dream, and has made us more determined then ever to bring you something monumentally against the grain of the 'NEW SEATTLE ORDER' and their vision of what the city should become.
So now the Bar is open for events and soon we will be open 5-6 days a week,with a happy hour at 4:00 to GIT YOUR MOTORS RUNNING
