Now, any plans for expansion of the final, fancy vestige of the neighborhood’s car retailing community has been thrust aside by Capitol Hill’s everlasting growth industry: new apartments. But if one of my favorite artists holds a show here, I would consider going.The new shape of plans at 14th and Union (Image: CHS)Ĭapitol Hill’s golden age of the auto row passed long ago. Prefer theater music venues like the Neptune and Paramount over club spots. There was a constant stream of concertgoers walking about in this area headed for the restrooms in back it seems. I wouldn't recommend standing by the wall next to the bar like I did. If you are looking for a good place to watch the show from, I would recommend the left side of the venue or at the bar seating area facing the stage. Expect your personal space to be violated a few times. Very little room to move about in this venue. Since it was a sold out show, the place was packed. If you see a show here, expect it to end around midnight. Doors opened at 8 pm, but Yuna didn't start her set until after 10 pm due to a couple supporting act sets. As for the Yuna show itself, it was fine. Similar in size to the ones at Barboza and The Crocodile. Though it wasn't like watching a concert in a sauna like a previous show I saw here when there was 90 degree weather outside. The venue is quite warm so if the place is packed for a show, expect to sweat a bit. ![]() The ventilation which I wrote previously about being horrible isn't much better. Though they have added a food bar called The Escondite offering drinking food like burgers and sandwiches. It looks basically the same since reopening. I hadn't been here in a number of years for a show until last week when I came here for a Yuna concert.įrom what I can see, there haven't been any significant changes to this venue. Last year, Chop Suey closed down for a couple months before reopening under new ownership. I enjoyed the concert and tried to ignore my surroundings so it's not like I had a bad time. I know my review is rather critical, but keep in mind when people see a concert they care about your surroundings. Considering so, I wonder how dance/bar events do it is very average. The place was lit in mostly Red, which resembled a grunge-type feel, although I didn't quite feel like this place was too exciting to be at. Although I am not of legal age to drink yet, The bar didn't look too exciting either. Right away the building inside doesnt really look exciting high school multipurpose rooms look better tbh. We're both 18, but the show was all ages so they let us in. My friend and I visited from LA for the week and decided to see a band called "Elvis Depressedly" (Lo-fi, Modern Alternative Rock), and we were excited to see them. The location is great being in Capitol Hill, and i feel this place has potential but I think the owners just don't care enough. I don't have high expectations when I visit a bar style place to see a restaurant it just never really works. Hopefully, I will see you on the dance floor. It is always full, has two bars with professional and friendly bartenders and incredibly chill, fun, atmosphere. Overall, House Party at Chop Suey makes Mondays suck less. ![]() I would feel comfortable coming to him about any kind of issue I have. I have not seen him working there since but their head of security, Gabe, is so kind and easy to work with. One of the bouncers noticed and came to check on us which is UNHEARD OF. I have had one account where I had to get aggressive towards a drunk guy that would not leave my friend alone. It doesn't feel like a club in the sense that everyone is actually dancing and intoxicated just enough to have a good time. Everyone is dressed in a way that stands as their own individual aesthetic but honestly, with Seattle's generic club scene it's incredibly refreshing. The Dj plays a mix of Kaytranda, Dr.Fresch and old school hip-hop.ĭefinitely a unique crowd. Growing up I always envisioned a place where I could hear some of my favorite house songs and has a fusion of hip-hop. ![]() This is specifically for the House Party event and all of the staff for the night. ![]()
