Funhouse

We played here on a Sunday night. There were supposed to be 5 bands performing. The first band didn't show, and there were maybe 5 people attending? 3 of which were for our band? Claimed to be a guaranteed money maker. They take 15% from the headliner's merch sales. Which they sold 1 thing to a guy from one of the other bands? Lousy. The venue did not promote. We did not make money. They had no ac. The place was stifling. The funhouse shared their restrooms with el corazon which had a show going on at the same time and you could hear during our set? Pretty rude. I get the strict ID rule to eliminate underage people however when a member of our band's 70 something year old father isn't allowed in I think someone is taking their job way to serious. Shitty venue. We are a touring band and I was seriously disappointed with this place.

My band played here once (paid in PBR-only drink tickets). I haven't been back since. I love me a filthy DIY punk venue and I've attended plenty of shows in squat houses, but I just generally got a bad vibe from this place. It's tiny, dirty, the sound is awful and they don't do almost any promotion. I guess there's an under-21 section for all those perky teen mullets in the audience, but that might be the only upside.

One of my bands played here a while ago. Actually liked the staff, they were all really cool to me as we chatted about UFC and fighting during load in and set up. Sound guy was accommodating and friendly. We packed most the venue that night, so it was very enjoyable and intimate experience. However, the biggest and only issue was unfair payment. Part of it was on us for not negotiating terms beforehand, but for bringing in a crowd that nearly packed the place, None of the bands got paid more than the gas money to get there. In conclusion, love the atmosphere and intimacy of this venue, but pay can get really shady if not talked about with them.

" if you ever wanna get fucked up on just two drinks the bartenders at El Corazon Funhouse always hook you up with some good drugs on the low you don't even know. Just wish they gave out weed instead of roofies "

Went for a friends concert, had a blast! The bartender was super cool the place was clean and super cool! Everyone that worked there was really nice too! House made Shots when your there are recommend!!

Horrible establishment. One of the bouncers rolled his eyes every time he had to check someone's ID and had a shitty attitude. Not enough spaces to sit and the food smelled like burnt toast.

Thoughts on the funhouse:The drink is better than the bandEveryone is so sad here Gotta applaud them for getting up on stage. Here's to hoping one day they'll become musicians. How am I going to get through 3 hours without my jacket touching ANYTHING HEREShe looks like Anne wilson...'s washed up cousinThis music makes me miss my mom. And music. Saddest thought of the night.... This cocktail I'm drinking? Someone invented it, and is proud of it. Try and find someone without greasy hair. Just try it. I dare you. We are called the funhouse. Therefore, you are having fun. Ignore that band on the stage. Ignore that bland wall of sound. You are having fun. When I count back from ten, you will awaken and remember nothing of this show.

The staff here are incredibly rude, dismissive, and unaccommodating. I thought maybe my experience was a weird experience, but looking at these reviews it appears that this is generally a garbage venue. Not only are they crappy people to interact with, they also seem to have no communication skills when it comes to making arrangements with performers. If you're an artist looking to book a show, do it literally anywhere else. It would be a better experience to do a show in the middle of the nearby freeway than at Funhouse.

Went to see my friends play the other night. They were the second opener, and the headliners had canceled for the night. So my friends were going to be the only other people playing that night. The staff had originally told them they'd be playing 45 minutes because of this, then cut them to 15 minutes right before they went on (half the time of their original set). After playing 2 songs (approx 10 min) they politely asked if they could've play one more and the staff said they were done. Super rude and just didn't make sense. These guys came out, brought their gear, played well and you can't even let them play 3 songs. Gtfo. The staff would be going home early regardless, I know it's not an ideal situation for anyone but it was a shitty way of handling it.

Worst venue I've ever been to. Our band played with a touring band and they barely paid them (didn't pay any of the other bands). The staff was late to do load in and we all stood in the rain waiting. Every staff member was extremely rude and it was a terrible experience. The bands we were with were great but the staff was horrible. We will not be coming back. Do not play a gig here. There are plenty of other venues in Seattle. Literally any other venue would have been better.
