Chop Suey

I went this past Friday since I booked a ticket and have been wanting to try this place out for the entire two years that I've been in Seattle. The DJ/music was amazing-- house mixes. Younger crowd with lots of energy, and super versatile with the space: Bartop adjacent to dance floor with ample seating and staging and lounge space with bar. I'd recommend once they get a better security team. A large heavy set male security personnel guarding the rest room however had a chip on his shoulder that he definitely needs to eat. He tried to provoke a fight with me for asking another female security staff member if I had done something wrong because the large male was looming around me and watching my every move as after I went to pee and briefly explored the space. It was my first time there so I was looking around at the art and stuff. It gets one star due to his lack of workplace professionalism and inability to do his job effective outside of being the "muscle" due to his size. Far cry.Anyway,As far as vigilance, I can understand his stance of watching me (a single person in a club alone amongst other people). I've worked security in larger clubs before so I get where he was coming from, HOWEVER, for him to rush me, jab his finger into my collar bone in attempt to provoke me and literally threaten me with continued violence was impeccably childish. I guess he wanted to validate his anger at me voicing that his presence didn't make me feel safe or welcome. It is ridiculous that a grown man of his size thinks intimidation is on his side. Had I not been sober, my reflex to his hostility and physical hit would have been to left hook him square in the chin, but that would have started a fight and security would have more than likely used excessive force as illustrated by their apparent taste for control in this space cited by previous reviews.Ownership of this space should do better and he should definitely be removed from this job because he doesn't know how to conduct himself and regulate or control his emotions as a security staff member for a night club. In a nutshell,Believe the other reviews and do not waste your time or money going to this place-- it's a cool spot but not at all welcoming or safe so definitely not worth it.

The DJ did not play good music and also refused to play good music when prompted. If the DJ played a song that was of any dancing quality the club would have been great but instead he decided that sandbagging the entire vibe was the right decision.

Their 90s and 00s nights are a blast. Is the music always from the 90s or nearly 2000s, no, but it's still a good time.The dance floor is pretty big, but watch out for the step down after you've had a couple bevs at the super cute bar. The couches will swallow you up when it's time for a break, and a new drink. Crowd runs a bit young, but these elder millennials always have a great time.

Believe the reviews. The bouncers here are on a complete power trip. We came here with 20+ people for Candi Pop and they would not let us in even though we started tonight here. We were 20 mins back in line when they told us to leave. The bouncers are on a power trip. Don't go here. Trash. Bring back the encampment that was in front of this place.

The only redeeming quality about this place is that there were other Swiftyyyys there on Swift fest night. Staff was rude, building is old and ugly, and drinks are over priced. They refused to let my friend in because she had an empty can with her that she was trying to find a trashcan for. They literally would not let her in, saying that she tried to bring it into the building. When she literally wasn't. She was trying to find a trashcan. They wouldn't let her toss it. (She was not trying nor did she want to bring it inside!!) Security was just a bunch of overweight men who were on a power trip. (Not to mention we stood there for a couple of minutes while they just scrolled on their phones, completely ignoring the line when it was still extremely empty inside) Totally ruined my friend's birthday night. If you can avoid this place, please do so. There are other places in Seattle that have Taylor Swift themed nights.

FUCK THIS PLACE crazy security, shitty drinks & overly crowded. Don't waste your time

Music is extremely mid tier. They also gave me a wrist stamp where if you milked every squid on Earth it still wouldn't compare to how much ink was on my wrist, which smeared all over my clothes when I crossed my arms. 1/5, there are better places to go on a weekend outing.

I went with my best friends last Friday for Candi Pop and the music sucked. This was my first time clubbing in Seattle and this club cemented why I don't go clubbing in the area. I understand that it was Girl Pop night, but why was the DJ playing A Thousand Years? Like who gets down to that song at the club? It was just such a strange mix of music and the transitions were terrible, there was no matching of beats or vibes between one song and the next. I also was expecting them to play more 2000s or 2010s pop like Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus or Run Away With Me by Carly Rae Jepson. Instead, we were getting songs like Flowers and Greedy that came out in the last year.I loved the girls giving out free cotton candy and balloons, I think that made for a pretty awesome vibe. And the decorations and ambience was top tier. Mindy, the bartender was super sweet and helped me find mocktails that I would love because I was the designated driver for the night.Honestly, this is the second time I've ever paid cover to get into a club, and it wasn't worth it. I've gotten into clubs with incredible music and free drinks at no cost, so I don't think this experience measured up at all.

really cute little interesting place. Good drinks and really friendly customer service! the music is a little retro but super fun. We went on a monday night so things were a little slow but still a very nice vibe! No complaints. Everything seemed clean and nice!

Most important reason I'm giving it one-star: I'm pretty sure that a friend and I were drugged here during a "Dance Yourself Clean" night. That isn't necessarily the fault of the establishment, but clearly it's place where some people feel like they're able to successfully drug people's drinks. Please be careful.I haven't had problem with staff, although the drinks are expensive for being so horrendous and the bathrooms are disgusting. Definitely won't be going back.
