The Triple Door

This is the most underrated venue in Seattle -- there, I said it. There's hardly a bad seat in the house. And they serve you dinner and drinks while you watch a show?! Okay, sign me up!I've been here a couple of times over the years, but most recently to see Ron Pope in late Feb. We scored two bar top seats off to the left of the stage at $30-$35 each. The Triple Door website said these have a partially obstructed view, and they're right! While you're close to the stage, because you're so far off to the side, you miss what's hiding around the corner during the performance. That said, you're so up close and personal with the band that you can hear the instruments without the speakers -- incredible.Dinner and drinks service was prompt and informative. For food, we ordered the sichuan green beans (I don't like green beans and holy cow these were so good!), the thai mushroom satay (also so fab!) and the monk's curry (really solid). Legit think a place like this could get away with serving food that's just okay (since it's so beautiful!) but we were blown away by how good the food is.In all, highly recommend the Triple Door for a show, though if we had to do it all over again, we'd pick seats that show a more head-on view of the stage (we were limited to what was available when we bought.) Cheers, Triple Door, and thanks for a memorable night!

Tonight was my first ever visit to The Triple Door. I saw Los Lobos and sat in the 3rd "row" center. Every seat here is a good seat. If you want more comfort, bring a group and choose a booth. If you want to be close to the stage, there are hard chairs and bar-like seating with a narrow "table" in front of you. I can't speak for the entrees but I did have two of the night's special cocktails in honor of the band (delicious) and a coconut sago pudding for dessert off of the regular menu. I enjoyed the dessert but some might have found it a little too sweet. If I remember correctly, the sago came with a fennel infused pandan sauce. It was good but I couldn't really taste the fennel, which in my opinion was a good thing. Even though this intimate venue, with its multiple levels of booths and bar seating, is nicer than most concert venues I've been to in Seattle, I noticed that the crowd was casual. You can get dressed up if you want, but I saw a lot of plaid shirts, tees, and flannel. Then again, maybe it's because of Los Lobos (which, btdubs, ROCKED IT ALL THE WAY OUT). Acoustics were awesome. The music was loud but not so loud that I couldn't hear anything when I left the venue. The only drawback for me was that it was a little tight to get up and dance. If you want to do that, choose a row at the wall or on a corner of the front row so you can get up near the exits and not block anyone's view. You have to walk down a level to get to the theater and the bathrooms are down another level. I didn't see any elevators and it is a smaller space, so I wouldn't count on easy accessibility if you have issues with mobility. I did see a couple "box seats,", which are behind glass on the first level and separate from the venue below, but there is still a slope to get to them. However, for a band like Los Lobos, I wouldn't want to sit that far away from the crowd (which was fantastic) or the music. This is the closest you will be to your favorite bands than most venues, so take advantage of it!Finally, pro tip: park in the garage around right next to The Triple Door / around the corner. It was only $12 to park. Take your ticket with you because you need the QR code to access the elevator. If you pay for parking in advance using the QR code, exiting out of the garage is fast and easy.

The service in the bar at first was marginal. Food took forever. And was OK. Then we went to the venue. dinner tasted like they opened a can of dint y more stew. Then the salad they brought me was great. Would have been better with a fork. Then toward the end of the evening the waitress accused one of our party of inappropriate touch which he had to touch her shoulder. To get her attention to make sure she got the tip from our bill. Then got escorted out by 3 goons. So not happy with them. He did not touch inappropriately. Unbelievable. Sorry Monkey on a string. Great band. Total BS with the venue.

Came here for the Bohemia show! The staffs were super friendly. Our server was also nice and efficient. Food was overall good. The Singapore beef satay was delicious. The ambiance was interesting with the show and all the lights. We were sitting at the front row so we enjoyed the show up close. There was also a lounge that you can drink before the show, and a Photo Booth that you can take pictures at. Overall good experience. I parked at the 2nd and Union garage next to it. Paid $12 for parking for the duration of the show.

The triple door is a classic historic Seattle theater with amazing seats and views where every seat is a good one. The acoustics are amazing. The menu of food and drink variety are really set up toServe everyone with all dietary needs including vegetarian and vegan options. There is a super close 2 minute walk parking garage around the corner from the theater and a nice lounge outside of the theater where you might be able to catch local music or great indie tunes before the show

Great venue! Always happy with my experience here. Eclectic and fun diversity with performances, and the food/service is great! Good menu. I definitely recommend bottles of wine over cocktails. The bar gets so backed up due to the volume of drink orders, it just doesn't make sense to order cocktails. You'll get much faster service with a bottle of wine. Kitchen is pretty quick!

I love The Triple Door. Great venue thY always has some amazing LGBTQIA as well as BIPOC events. I've seen three events there, and they have all been great.Staff has always been friendly and welcoming, though they do have a habit of walking in front of you mid act. The only thing keeping me from.5 stars is the average quality of the food. It not great but not bad. The dessert is the best option on the menu. The drinks are also weak for the cost. Very little alcohol mostly mixer.

I have been to shows twice here lately I can't say enough about this venue. It's wonderful! I haven't eaten here, but I've had some NA drinks. Great seating, great bar to hang out in and wait for the theater to open, wonderful staff. Two thumbs way up!

This show was hilarious and a great time. We didn't eat as we are vegan but the drinks were pretty good, although small, and the party didn't stop. It was just a sexy, sleek, lot of fun, an amazing performance. If you're looking for a unique adventure, this is the thing to do.

Came here solo a couple of nights ago for a live show by one of my favorite podcaster duos, Every Outfit. I arrived about a half hour before show starting time and the entire check-in/registration process at the Maitre 'd stand was smooth and easy. Check-in was via my last name and I didn't even have to pull up my e-ticket, which I had saved to my wallet just in case. They have done a really good job of streamlining this process for quickly getting folks into their seats. They gave me a tag with my seat number so I could show it to the usher inside- another way to make it super easy to get to my seat. I haven't been to Triple Door for a show in a while, maybe a solid decade plus or so and I forgot how much I love the concept of being served food and drinks while being entertained. It is Wild Ginger's menu, the fusion Asian restaurant next door. Even though Wild Ginger was the hot ticket in the late '90s (in fact, my ex-husband saved his pennies to take me for a romantic, splurge dinner there when we were first dating as college students), I don't remember being wowed by the food the last time. Well I take all that back because the Singapore Beef Satay I ordered (6 skewers for $18) was sublime.Moist, juicy, flavorful they were like very well cooked steak bites. I didn't realize until later when I paid the check that it was wagyu beef- yum! Menu description: Marinated in turmeric, cumin, coriander and garlic. Skewered and grilled and comes with a rice cake, pickled cucumbers and a peanut dipping sauce.I also ordered 2 glasses of their featured pour, a Sparking Gruet Brut Rosé; $13 per glass: "With roots in Champagne, this family owned New Mexico winery is a unique and distinctly American success. From an experimental vineyard planted in 1983 to the twilight of our dark theater, it's toast ready & pure thirst-quenching goodness". I mean who can resist that story??Our server was great & on top of everything, super friendly and unobtrusive (which I get that they have to be, serving during a show). The only snafu was when the first round of drinks were delivered to me and the person seated next to me but it was by a different server (I think he was the bar runner) and he made a comment about he had forgotten to bring my drink but then never returned with it. I had to let the server know on her next pass through and she apologized profusely and seemed upset on my behalf which I appreciated. First world problems I know.All in all, a great evening- Gorgeous weather getting to/from the venue, good show, delicious food, refreshing drink, and good company/conversation by way of the friendly young man seated next to me in the back countertop section, one of the few remaining locations where I could buy a single seat.
