"too loud, dirty, and crowded. overpriced cover charge and overpriced drinks. there are much better clubs in more convenient locations."
"Belltown and fellow electronic music fans - please welcome Ora, as one of the newest clubs on the block :)Located next to Sarajevo Lounge and in the heart of Belltown, Ora Nightclub is one sweet club. Armed with an amazing sound system, pretty lights, and with two dance floors, I am loving this new spot.Been here a few times and each time was a success. Here are some things to note:-Cover: At the moment, no cover!!! :D Not sure how long this will last but definitely check out the facebook or website for event details. And best of all, free cover = all night long for girls AND guys... woot woot-Drinks: Gotta admit, drinks here are great. Stiff but not overly strong, I feel like your money is worth it and all of the bartenders are pretty friendly and nice :)-VIP booths: even though I didn't book one yet, the looks of the booths are pretty cool. Huge comfy couches and the VIP area near the DJ stage is sick. -Music: Been here primarily for the techno / deep house / tech house / dirtybird type of music. A lot of local talent playing and overall, it's a sweet spot for electronic music. I do know there are other theme music night, so check Facebook/website to see DJ names. -Sound system / lights system: On point. Period. -Interior = gorgeous. Has that nice Vegas-y feel with the modern feel and look-Dress Attire = Casual but not toooo casual. Dress code is listed on the websiteOverall, this is one of my favorite spots at the moment. Highly recommend checking it out if you like House/Techno music or if you're curious about new places :D"
"Solid vibe! Great food! Amazing drinks!Something about this place although there are many other places on the street. Too many amazing cocktails. The whole scene was amazing. Don't miss out on this place."
"Me and my friends went to this nightclub on a Sunday night. For a Sunday - it was really busy. We went for latin night and it was a great experience. The music was really good, and there was a drag show as well. The cover was $15. Only complaint was that the floor was a little sticky.I didn't get any drinks but I heard they were good.Overall, this was a pretty great club. Nice open floor for dancing, great music & welcoming environment. I'd definitely go again"
"My boyfriend and I really enjoyed coming here when we visited Seattle. It was on the edge of Cap Hill so it was walking distance from our hotel in downtown Seattle. The music selection was good and their drinks are yummy. Our bartender was very accommodating - my boyfriend and I ordered the same drink but she modified each one slightly for our taste preferences. 10/10 would recommend!"
"Coming from Hawaii, my review on night club maybe bias to those who experience night clubs on the mainland. In Hawaii we only have one nightclub and its a very small one. So coming to Q Nighclub to celebrate my bachelor's party was a very fun one. First off, we ordered tickets online for $10 for Hip Hop & R&B event that was going on that night we went (Saturday Night). The staff and security were friendly when were were checking in and getting us patted down. When we walked in I was amazed by how big the club was.I like that they had a huge bar and it was separate from the dancefloor, with this there wasn't as much crowding at the bar. The dancefloor itself was big enough for a lot of people and we were able to dance comfortably without being cramped. We also had so much fun here hyping up other people and creating dance circles. It was all good vibes and no drama.The bartenders and bar was great. There were about 3 bartenders and they were working fast and hard. We never waited long to order or for our drinks to be made. The bartenders were really heavy handed/generous with the alcohol, so you know you are getting your money's worth and not those watered down drinks. So a couple drinks got us to the right level. The bathrooms were kind of confusing. It was gender neutral but there were urinals separated for the men, but this worked well as there was barely a line for the restrooms. Overall it was a great experience here. It is also located in downtown Seattle and across a gas station and near an iHop for that late night snack. We did get some hotdogs after the club closed across the street. Good vibes!"
"My friends and I wanted to go to a club after I landed at SEATAC, and this one of of the few that seemed alright last minute. We also knew it was 18+ , so we knew what we were getting into LOLParking kinda sucked but we made it work lol. Bouncer was cool, cover was $20 for a Friday night. As visitors from sf, $20 is standard.Coat check once you got in is free, which is pretty cool. Lady there working was nice. When you first walk in, it opens up to a EDM room with a bar off to the side. They were playing some good up to date songs that I had fun dancing to. There were bathrooms next to the stage, and a DJ /VIP area? up the stairs to the right. The VIP area is kinda small and too lit up for a club imo. Then there was a hallway that leads to the selfie room, the bar for 21+ and hip hop room. The "selfie room" was a bit off putting... as the selfie room was decorated to look like an old run down asian restaurant with a huge asian looking fan on the back wall, and asian looking wallpaper. As an Asian American, I was like ?? wth about this. They did have this sparkly background we could take pictures in front ofThe bar for 21+ was decorated in the same manner. They had A TEA TABLE as a table for people to sit and drink at? and paintings of old royal Chinese guys on their wall, asian looking lamps and some kind of stage above that was also decorated super asian??? Hip hop room was fun. its painted white, which made it a lil bright inside. But still had good music to dance to Also we were over 21 and we had wristbands but literally every time we entered a room, they had to check our ID! What was the point of the wrist band then? We had to take out our ID a million times Overall, had a fun time, just a little weird that there was low-key cultural appropriation in this place. I didnt seeee one single asian here (except one go-go dancer)"
"Great venue! Multiple rooms once you're inside, separated by different music and themes. I especially enjoy so far gone seattle events that they throw. Buy tickets beforehand if you're planning on coming to a popular event. Lines outside are separated by table v ticket. You can buy tickets once you enter the facility. I wanted to write a review to highlight the great security staff in the front. Shout out to Trey for creating a safe and fun environment for the girls. His quick thinking and professionalism is definitely the cherry on top to Vue!"
"Cool little venue in Fremont area where I ended up taking my boyfriend for a night of Northwest cover bands of Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. Sound was excellent and stage set up was awesome. I know the band appreciates the fans lined up next to their monitors. It was getting steamy in here once it was a full house. Drinks were cold, plentiful, and a little pricey but I wasn't complaining. Lots of good draft beers and tall boys for you to have as you watch the band. Closer to the front entrance you will find table tops and booth seating that may or may not be reserved depending on who is playing. I do appreciate that these bartenders can read lips because once that music gets going it's impossible to hear anything."

I booked a table at Ora to celebrate my friend's bachelorette and we all had a great time!I highly recommend booking a table at Ora because not only do you get a area to lounge around, it also covers your ticket and a bottle of booze (either Absolute or Jack Daniels). Amaani was easy to communicate with and responds back in a timely manner, unlike other Nightclubs in Seattle that we were interested in booking. He even threw in a complimentary bottle of champagne for the occasion, which I thought was a nice gesture. My only comment was that our pitcher of soda was warm when the hostess pour us chasers, but she quickly noted and brought us another one that was chilled.While there is a dress code listed on the website, Ora seems pretty lax as I saw people there in sneakers and jeans. However, the decor is nice and the place is kept clean.Ora plays EDM/Trance/House which personally is not my cup of tea but I thought Nifra's set was awesome. Overall, Ora is a great nightclub if you're looking for a place to host a bachelorette or special occasion. With the nice decor, you might as well dress to impress.

Very disappointing experience. Note that the entry is in the dark alley in the parking lot... very confusing placement. The drinks were fine... it's a club, I wasn't expecting quality cocktails. The music / Dj was sooo bad, just not upbeat danceable (or Latin). The only reason it gets 2 stars is because I appreciated the diverse crowd and age ranges... just a lot of missed potential

Open Thurs for Free Cover! 80's and 90's Dance music and videos to each song on the TVs. Neighbours is a lot of fun to dance on a large floor with lots of Lights. I Love the Balcony to look down on the dancers. There are no crowds on Thurs compared to Fri and Sat. The front bar, Therapy also has dance music.

I hate to write a bad review but I had a terrible time here. It looked like a janky basement party with rude bartenders and overpriced drinks. I was so shocked at how much my drink was, I questioned if it was just Seattle prices (I'm from the Bay Area though which is pretty similar/comparable) but other bars in the area even sold it for way less. Based on past reviews, it seems like they add a 20% gratuity automatically...although I just had one drink and wasn't notified (I tipped even extra unknowingly.) I curiously asked the bartender and he + the security laughed at me. Plus one star because at least one of the bouncers was nice.

Kendra and Leejay had amazing service throughout the entire night. My group and I felt safe and well accommodated. We will be returning on another night out!

This place is a fairly decent nightclub in Seattle where night life can be a bit lacking in comparison to cities like NYC, LA, and SF. However, it can be very hit or miss. I went here twice actually, once on 4th of July weekend 2021 after the fully vaccinated mark, and one today. Both times I feel the ventilation is super horrible. It gets so hot inside especially as the night lingers on, past midnight. Even though it is June and cold outside (like low 50s) I was sweating a lot inside. Even worse when it's actual Seattle summer so keep that in mind. I remembered last time when it was low 70s outside and I had to drink so much water to not die inside. Cover is fairly alright - today was $17 but we also went before midnight, so it might be more later but definitely at least $5 more if you are not 21+. Drinks are also fairly priced for a club but they are definitely low quality. Bottom shelf liquor plus basic juices or Red Bull but they do not really skimp on the alcohol which is good. Tables are available and you just show your ID and wristband that you are 21+ and you can access the upper floor. So theoretically you can enjoy the table experience without all the high pricing but obviously the alcohol service and such won't be there. Some tables were also available to the public to just sit (the ones that don't face the stage, deep into the upper floor) which helps for taking a break from the dancing. I do enjoy that the name of the club fits in to what they offer - trinity aka three, so there's a mostly pop/EDM stage when you enter, a small room / bar for another type of music, and a more chill / melodic stage at the other end of the club. Music is one of the better ones though I feel the crowd these days are more in the late 20s/30s and a lot of the younger crowd (early 20s) that I am part of don't really show up anymore so it was less fun compared to a year ago.

Decent night club in Seattle. Came here on a Friday night and they had us wait in the first club until they opened up the main part at 11. Kinda annoying to be honest. The first club was playing terrible music with a bunch of 21 year olds standing around. The second club is pretty good. Music choice and energy is better. Just had an awkward space layout. VIP tables were not filled to capacity and drinks were pretty expensive. Solid night club but nothing special. Worth getting on the free guest list rather than paying the door fee.
Visit Restaurant Page"This place turned out to be about the same as what I expected it would be. We were there on a Saturday night for a birthday party. We were in the VIP section. The section was in the back of the whole place, it had a waitress and fenced in seatings. That was about it. Nothing special. The well drinks were around 4.75. I thought it was not bad comparing to the drink prices outside, but I don't know what other casinos are charging. The band playing on Saturday night was Aphrodisiacs, they mainly sang 70s pop, disco songs. It was really not my cup of tea, but generally people think they are great. I am not sure I would give this place another chance in the future. Maybe another night of a week...."
"I died and went to Latin heaven. I had a fun time at this club great music and look. The crowd started coming in around 11"
"Kremwerk was pretty busy on a Friday night. We got there at around 11:30pm and there was a short line outside. They took everyone's temperature and checked covid vaccine cards (a picture is sufficient). It took probably 15 minutes to stand in line and get everything checked before we went in. The cover was $25 and covers the downstairs (loud, thumping techno music with a DJ) and upstairs (chill bar/lounge with tvs). You can pay for only one floor if you want, but not sure what that would cost. Drinks were small and expensive as people have mentioned below. I'm not a big fan of paying expensive covers, so not sure if I would go back often. A fun clubbing experience if that's what you're looking for!"
"I don't care what anyone says, because these guys can really make some bomb bar food and as much as people complain about their service or anything else. Mr. Pedro and his family are trying their best to make a regular bar feel like "fine dining". I am not a bar guy but if there was a bar to come see while you're in Auburn, WA this is it."
"Good place to get drunk at! That's it lol Fair prices for what you get. Food is not bad. Drinks are strong. And yeah it's kinda dirty. But it's fun :) and the drive is ok, friendly staff. Karina kicks ass!"
"Went here with a group of friends on Friday night, techno house night. I'm reading reviews and I'm like huh, only $20 for cover? Everyone including us were paying $35 and some even $40 and line took an hour to get in. But then I guess there were some top DJs playing. Inside was fairly spacious but also enough people to have the hype and energy flowing, and we were still able to enjoy the experience. We ended up staying around 3 hours, as while I enjoy the house music (which is almost always what Monkey Loft offers), it can get somewhat repetitive as you listen to hours of house music - especially when the music is not melodic at all.There's a "downstairs" bar with apparently a sushi area - according to my friend, 5 courses and a roll for $40 and apparently delicious. The middle floor (1 floor above street) features an indoor house DJ. The top floor (2 floors above street) is the outdoors area with plenty of space to dance. Arguably I would say the music inside is slightly better than that outside, but the people honestly really make or break the vibe. 3 stars because while the music is very good, I hate how time inefficient things are here - always a line everywhere, from going into the club to the single stall restrooms that can take 15-30 min to use, to the bar where, according to friends, waited over 30 min and end up not being able to get alcohol as last call is over, and there were still at least 20 people behind them. I think of the 3 hours we stayed, at least 45 min was spent waiting in various lines before we were able to get situated in and enjoy the club itself."
"Time for an update...it's already been two years!I still come to The Woods for special occasions, such as birthdays and bachelorettes.Music for the most part is still pretty good, playing old school hip hop and R&B. I have noticed the last two times I was here, when the DJs switch and all of a sudden the music switches to EDM. EDM isn't exactly me or my friends' cup of tea but it kind of did ruin the mood of the bachelorette I attended last weekend, where we were dancing and enjoying the music. When it switched to EDM, we all just moved to the bar and hung out for a bit before leaving.I still think the floor is scary when it shakes due to people jumping but I have noticed that it hasn't been as bad as previous experiences. As always, there's $5 cover.I still recommend The Woods for a night out. It might be a hit or miss for those who strictly want R&B and Hip Hop."
"Ok food. My friend and i had a beer and a burger with tater tots.$47.00 before tip.Probably won't return. No Happy hour.Charged $1.50 for a couple of things, like using a credit card fee. There are just too many other places to eat. For much less. Much less."
"Stage is a HUGE improvement over Volume! The updated sound/lighting and the awesome viewpoints from the VIP booths make Stage my favorite club venue to see a live performance. The bartenders could be more efficient, but the women's bathroom is usually clean (and I haven't seen any ridiculous lines yet). The photo booth is in a high-traffic area, which doesn't make sense to me - it's really frustrating when drunk people walk through your group photo... over and over again. After attending the Petey Pablo show and the Tinashe after party at Stage, I think booths are worth every penny on special guest nights. In addition to the spacious booth areas and excellent/attentive service, you also get to be front-and-center for the performances. I've been pretty happy about their special guests recently, and will definitely be back for the next good one. Fingers crossed for Ashanti and/or Ja Rule! For regular nights, the free guest list is your best bet; the security team seems pretty good at keeping the lines moving."
"Totally totally totally fun! I hadn't been out dancing in way too long and last night I got to shake shake shake my booty to some old school R&B at Emerald City Soul Club. This was my first time visiting the Lo Fi Gallery. I liked it but not sure I'd come back unless I was going to ECSC. The layout is bizarre, I'd love to know what the space originally was. There's a small bar in front and even smaller bar in the "north" dance room. The bartender made one of the best Cape Cods I've had in awhile, but I wished they had a bigger beer selection. The "south" room by the bathroom was not open last night, which was too bad since the place got packed! The bathroom situation is dire, they really need to do something about that since this is a decent sized club, not a small bar. By the end of the night the potty line probably took 20 minutes! We were the first ones to arrive at 9pm, things were bumpin by 11, and when we left around 12:45am it was almost too crowded. No line outside though. It gets really hot in there, especially if you're dancing, FYI. But all that aside, this was an awesome dance party! Some people were dressed up retro style and almost everyone in the place was dancing. The north room was blastin some funk/disco music, while the front room was spinning pop and soul from the 50s and 60s. Each room had its own vibe, though the floor in the north room had lots of holes which made dancing trickier. There's hallway with couches and a table if you need to sit down or get away from the music. Everyone I encountered was friendly and having a good time, no scary thugs, no too cool to dance hipsters, no DBs and their hoochie mamas. Not a meat market and no grinding -- great crowd and great time. The $10 entrance fee will keep me from attending ECSC every month, but I will absolutely be back again for some funky, bluesy and doowoppin grooves!!"
"Compare & Contrast:* Rum & Coke at The Mercury - $3.50* Rum & Coke at The Highline - $9 (and in a smaller glass)SITREPThis update is purely to demonstrate a vast difference in drink prices, even though these two venues are both on Capitol Hill.THE SETUPSo here's where the unfortunate disparity was noted: on the weekend of Friday/Saturday, November 8 & 9, I spent clubbing with friends on Capitol Hill because that's where the fun is for me (and because Noc Noc has closed down *sigh*). * So on Friday night, I go to the cool show featuring the "Break Up" & "Combichrist" and get a basic Rum & Coke mixed drink. $9 fricken dollars!* The next night - Saturday - I hit The Mercury and I make the same order for a basic Rum & Coke. $3.50. And get this - IN A BIGGER GLASS. HUGE DISPARITY IN COSTPretty dramatic disparity here between two Capitol Hill clubs merely blocks away from each other. And so when it comes to basic cost metrics, you are not going to frequent an establishment that gouges you for the same product you can get someplace else for much less. For some reason, I guess a venue that has a show with a band(s) you want to see, probably assume that you are *TRAPPED* and that they can shake you down.No. All it means is that my friends and I will get our "drink on" BEFORE we hit the venue, and just grab sodas or water at the venue, and then get our drink on again AFTER the show (which we did with) with other tons of reasonable options at bars & pubs throughout Capitol Hill.THE LOWDOWNProps to the Mercury for the having a much more reasonable pricing index for their drinks."
"Me and a friend went here last night for karaoke. We reached around 9 and it was pretty quiet. People started coming in after 10. My karaoke experience has been great as well. The staff are very nice too. My friend ordered some food which was pretty good quantity for the price we paid. Would recommend this place for karaoke. They have no designated parking, so street parking it is!"
"Fun place for a stiff drink, hot dog, dancing and some pinball. The m doing a slushy daiquiri that's pretty stiff. Fun place!"
