SEATTLE — There is no other spot in the Northwest with such a storied and beloved past as the Crocodile Cafe. Countless incredible bands played within the walls of Belltown’s much-loved music venue including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Cheap Trick, R.E.M., Mudhoney, and Yoko Ono. The closure back in December 2007 broke many hearts, and it is safe to say that locals felt a piece of Seattle had died.
But after months of renovations and reconstruction, the mighty Crocodile reopened in March 2009. Added to this already iconic venue was a new bar, The Back Bar. It quickly became a neighborhood favorite where you can grab hot pizza and cold drinks seven nights a week.
There is venue programming seven nights a week as well. When there are not killer shows in the showroom, they host events including intimate, sweaty local shows for only a $5 cover. Other favorites are burlesque, happy hour bingo, DJ nights, and Tuesday night karaoke.
The Crocodile Cafe is open 7 days a week until 2:00 AM. Their Happy Hour is daily from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM and again from 11:00 PM to close.
