The Crocodile, Seattle

Just a one-minute walk from the OBAMA and you’re at The Crocodile. If Rock History is your thing, then a visit to Seattle’s most famous music club is a must. Originally opened in 1991, the music club at 2501 1st Avenue is legendary. In 2013, The Rolling Stone named it the seventh best music club in the US. VH1 named it the 7th most legendary rock club of all time. Kurt Cobain and Nirvana added to the club’s mystique by playing a secret show at the club on October 4th, 1992. In addition to music acts, The Crocodile also has a comedy club, a movie theatre, and a hotel. After a full day exploring Belltown, why not watch a show here?

Before catching a show, there are some great restaurant options nearby: Lenox for Afro-Latin cuisine, Karaage Setsuna for Japanese-Hawaiian cuisine, and Kalabaw Bar and Kitchen for its Southeast Asian offerings.
