Block 41

The venue has wide open spaces that fit a lot of people, the staff seemed to be friendly enough. That being said, The small wooden folding chairs they have are very uncomfortable and some of them (Mine as well as several I saw), had glitter all over them from some other event which I now have on my slacks and I hope I can remove it all in the wash.This venue is nestled right in the middle of Belltown and I felt VERY uneasy about parking a vehicle in the closest parking lot as people were openly using drugs there. As I walked the short distance to the venue I also saw probably 10-15 other people doing drugs along the alley and even in front of the venue. you have a great business, but you are in a HORRIBLE location. NOT a family friendly neighborhood.

Had a candlelight concert here. Everything was great. I think it was organized by FEVER. I saw candlelight concert promoted in other states and it was more fancy with dining option (like in Florida on their instagram page) but since ticket was $35 I thought it wouldn't be anything big. Also there wasn't enough candles as it was in other states. The chair we sat was very stiff and it hurt to sit for 1 hour or maybe I am too skinny lol I guess all this imperfections is Fevers fault because Block 41 its just an event space. Good thing that we coud change seat and come closer because a lot of seats were empty. Overall was good to be out. Overall its a good event space with bathrooms and 2nd floor. We had to sit in the masks and it was hot even tho it was evening. I hope next time it will be optional to wear mask or not.

Wonderful venue once your inside. Parking is not provided. Late night walking to your car alone not advised. The building manager has great communication and awesome attitude. Perfect for weddings, parties, and celebrations. The kitchen set up (not in photos) is amazing. Full sized kitchens on both floors with a service stairwell. Loft / Urban vibe with plenty of space to make it your own for the night.

We visited a Candlelight concert here in the evening. I had paid for the highest tier ticket and we had what I thought was good seats.The problem was the venue.This location is not soundproof. This meant that 10 minutes into our concert there was a fight outside and we could hear the bottles smashing. 30 minutes in the garbage truck came by. 50 minutes a car alarm went off.The musicians were great, the concert itself had good tunes, the internal view was good but due to outside noise it was a clear miss.The seats on the inside that were provided were not comfortable as they were generic folding chairs.If you park nearby do not walk to your car alone at night. This is not a safe area. During the daytime this might be a completely different location, but after dark this is pretty gritty and not exactly quiet.

This was truly a new style venue. The design was ultra minimalist, bathed in beautiful glowing candlelight giving the environment a warm soothing feel. The instrumentalists were superb!! At one point they broke away from Vivaldi's Seasons and played a tango. Dancing ensued on the outer rim of the viewing circle, leaving the couple some privacy to feel comfortable dancing and not on display. It was a divine evening that lasted just the right amount of time sitting on folding chairs.

I had the pleasure of assisting with an event for a local nonprofit, held at Block 41 the other evening; what a delight! From the preview visit through to the end of the evening, Heli and her staff were there to ensure our success, how cool is that? The inside is very "industrial chic" (as it was an old ice factory, I believe) with just the right amount of wood and metal to still be inviting. Loved the roll up doors for easy loading and unloading of our auction items from my vehicle! They even found a giant ladder to help string the fairy lights from the ceiling to the "wine toss", see what I mean? Fantastic! People also loved the valet parking! No muss - no fuss; wait inside the entry until your vehicle arrives and off you go! Yay! Even their bathrooms are terrific! I would be thrilled to work with Heli and her troupe of merry helpers in the future!

This is a beautiful venue but no beverage service. Went to a concert by candlelight here and it didn't disappoint.

Terrible event planning. Awful crowd management with huge waits and lines for food and drink. Incredibly understaffed. Maybe ok for a group of 20-30 anything larger and expect logistics to collapse. Totally inept. Should add with all concrete and glass walls conversation without yelling is almost impossible.

This was my first visit to Block 41, and I was quite impressed with the space. You wouldn't know it by looking at it from the outside, but this is a beautiful indoor space for special events. Stylish, trendy, and understated. I came here for a OnePlus fan event, and I don't know if the catering was in-house or brought in, but the food they served was absolutely delicious. The little bacon sliders are to die for!

We had our wedding at Block 41 in February and the experience was absolutely perfect! We can't say enough about how beautiful the venue is. We rented the entire space and had our ceremony / reception upstairs with a cocktail hour downstairs (along with laser tag during the reception) for a wedding of about 200 guests. The event was seamless. We worked with Heli and she is a true professional and absolute delight. She was responsive throughout our planning process and helped us immensely in making our dream wedding a reality. We'd highly recommend, without hesitation, Block 41 to anyone considering!(Photo credit: David Cho Photography, davidchophotography.com)
