The Showbox

Looking to experience Seattle's storied music scene? The Showbox has showcased talent since the Jazz era, through the Grunge era , to modern day Macklemore! Head in early to grab drinks at the bar .

Get to the attached bar early to get advance entry to your show. If you're early enough, you'll be put into a priority group.

This is a Seattle staple- go see a show here. Many famous musicians have graced the stage , and its size keeps the shows intimate . Tip- getting tickets at box office saves tons (no ticketmaster fees).

Great venue, big stage great staff , tripped on the uneven sidewalk, twisted my ankle, scrapped my arm cut my knee, staff medic fixed me up and I made it through the show

Perfect medium size venue. Big enough for the big guys while simultaneously feeling intimate . Saw the roots here on 12/28. Amazing.

It was a small, yet lively up yaself reggae crowd... big up for having a big sound in a small place. Yeeeah!

Awesome venue! Great view of the stage from pretty much any where you stand.

Great venue - not too big so you can still see the stage with a good view .

Great intimate live performance venue. Sexy setting. Not a bad view .

If you get to the "Green Room " bar before they open doors, you can skip waiting in the lines for concerts outside. Bar attenders are given numbers when they arrive that let them into the venue first.

I saw Tim and Eric here a few years ago and the sound was killer. Great sounding venue and a decent staff .

Average acoustics . Don't even think to stay in standing room, too hot. Get to the back bars for better views and fresh air .

Good sound, lots of good vantage points. Rolling Rock/Rainer for $5

Head there early to grab a few drinks and nibble on a few bites at The Green Room !

Beautiful venue! Good visibility from the bar areas, too.

Beautiful venue in the heart of the city . Prepare for panhandlers if you're expecting a queue.

Great place, been there once w.friend Scott. Lost contact, anyone know Scott Stumbaugh ? A hippy dude hmm 56 y/o.If you do,would appreciate it, thanks d_oren2000@yahoo.com

The food is good and the venue is great

Best venue in seattle . Anywhere you stand it's a good seat. Love it!

Don't piss off the door guy, the bartender or the woman at the entry to the women's bathroom......they are all pretty angry here...

From the Jazz Age to the Grunge Era , the storied ballroom has featured shows by touring icons such as Duke Ellington, Muddy Waters and the Ramones.

Amex Travel tip: This art deco gem was integral to the Grunge Era & is the birthplace to bands like Pearl Jam .

Great venue and great staff

You can only have drinks in the bar area. Say whaaaat? (Other than that, fabulous environment!)

It's a little dated but has some charm. The bar locations could be better though.

On 02/11/2011 the Decibel Sponsored Creatures from the Black Abyss Tour stops here! Featuring Cradle of Filth, Nachtmystium, Turisas and Daniel Lioneye

If you get there late, hang out in the bar on the left side of the stage for the best view .

Local legend has it that The Showbox sits atop an underground cathedral built with the bones of failed Seattle grunge bands.

My favorite Seattle venue of all time! Great memories there. Create some of your own!

Back bar is way faster to get a drink.

probably my favorite venue in seattle

Wear your dancing shoes and get ready to party when Walk the Moon opens for Kaiser Chiefs here on March 23, 2012!

$1 off beers for fans of '80s new wave. You must demonstrate knowledge of the genre.

July 27, 2012 - Check out Neon Trees , Penguin Prison , and JJAMZ at the NYLON + Starbucks Summer Music Tour !

There is actually an underground tunnel to the Pike Place Market through which bathtub gin was secreted during Prohibition.

Don't see Above & Beyond here if you don't like to have the beat time of your LIFE!

Get there early and grab a table.

One of the best venues in Seattle to see a show.

Buying tix at the box office saves you the from the ridiculous service fees from ticketmaster .

My grandma used to dance here. Dancefloor is suspended by cables... Or was.

Try the Wednesday special: half off well drinks for overweight men in Black Flag T-shirts.

Great space. Ok sound.

They oversell shows here, so line up early if you want a seat.

The setup is a lot better here then the SoDo one.

This is the only bar in Seattle which still allows smoking indoors.

nicest security of any club in Seattle

Water station, with cups, at stage end of left bar .

TechCrunch Meetup

Always a classic place to go see a show.

The stage is made of solid gold.
