    It was my first 2026-27 Season Kraken game (Sept 19 preseason vs the Canucks), and we had seats in…read moreSection 02. I wasn't exactly sure how to get there. I saw a sign at the Symetra Club entrance showing Sections 01 and 02, and since I was hobbling along in a walking boot, I didn't want to wander all over just to find the seats. The lady at the Symetra Club entrance was very nice and explained everything to us. She was slow and methodical, recognizing my handicap, and even helped point out where the restrooms were during the first intermission. Her kindness had a lasting impact on my experience. Lastly, it was my friend's very first Kraken game, so her helpfulness made a great first impression for my buddy too.

    There is a separate bag line. Not sure if it's moving slower or the same. Multiple entries. Take…read morethe monorail if possible. Drops you off right there. After getting in the arena and walking around the other entrances had zero line. So recommend walking around to the back. Was really excited to find the Impossible Foods vendor. Disappointed it was not all vegan. But more so disappointed that the staff had NO clue about the dietary differences of the only 4 dishes. The menu did say VG- vegan and V - vegetarian, but they were putting the non vegan sauce on the VG burger. ALSO why is the vegetarian burger with cheese and sauce the same price as the burger without those things (and no substitution)? Was in a box area which is VERY fancy. The bar tender was so nice. NA drinks were included with the ticket. Alcohol drink not included. About the $17 for a beer. There were snacks. Mostly vegetarian, one vegan option- a watermelon sushi. It was ok but def not filling. Love the WNBA! Thank you arena for your carbon neutral goal. Will be back when in town.

    I am rooting for this movie theater. In its glory days the front windows weren't smashed and the…read morecardboard boxes weren't left in the front entrance with urine stains and needle caps. Even during the homeless days with the Capitol Hill and U District tweens with patchwork jackets and dogs mobbing around in packs this theatre was in good condition. I have over 20 years of memories coming here watching indie movies like Pirana, docuseries to Siff films. I also watched plenty of blockbuster films. My fondest memory is the smell of the popcorn that fills the front space. It is so distinct and the melted butter and grease on my fingers rubbed on my movie ticket is nostalgic. I love the indie vibe of the workers. It was a polite Seattle cool, depending on the era a little emo and punk, with some grunge. The attitude was very U District. I hope this theatre can raise the funds to fix itself up. It is one of my favorites and I hope it doesn't get boarded up. It still has so much life left.

    I looked into other reviews prior to going to the Varsity Theatre but it seemed like people were…read moreeither raving or hating on it. At this point it felt like it's mostly dependent on personal preference so I decided to go in and find out. I thought the place is decent. The biggest attraction is that tickets are probably the cheapest in the area. Regular ticket price is around $16 for Seattle but it's $10 at Varsity (as of December 2023). And you get a dollar off if you're a student. Also you don't even have to buy the student tickets in person because you could just order them online (other places like AMC downtown, you have to go in person). I made sure to bring my student ID in case if they want to check, but it was never checked onsite. I think it's a little more shabby than AMC and other more commercial theaters, but it does its job. The movie started on time and there were no issue throughout the movie. I wish they could just shut off the ads before the screen turns on at starting time because you're facing a blue screen that shows nothing while the ad is blasting. On the other hand, I liked that there aren't that many previews to watch through to get to the actual movie I came to see. The bathroom is two flights up the stairs from the ground floor. It's well kept and smells ok, but they probably have to check the toilet paper inventory more often. By the time I went in, there were no toilet paper left at all so I didn't forget to inform the staff that before leaving. The staff was polite and accepted my remarks in good spirit.

    Had a great time at the Crocodile Lounge and venue! The lounge was pre-concert. Opens 1 hour before…read moredoors (with concert ticket). Bartender was friendly, knowledgeable and had great pours! Good selection of beers and liquor. Even grabbed some Animal Fries on a whim. Not bad for bar food. This was a mixed age show so if you wanted to see the show with a beer, they had a separate convenient entrance. The sound quality was excellent as well. Overall the staff was very good (security, bartender, runners).

    My girlfriends and I came here last night to see the Turning Point US Gay drag show. We pre-paid…read morefor our tickets months in advance and when we got into line we went through security. The line was leading to a table where they were checking bags before walking past the security guard who had a metal detector wand. None of us had any bags on us so she turned to ask the security guard if we needed to stop at the table or if it's 2 separate lines. Before she could even say anything he snapped at her to get back in line. She backed up a step and apologized immediately and he responded with saying "Patience is a virtue." But his tone sounded so disgusted and intimidating. This security guard needs to be let go after seeing so many other people seemingly have the same experience with him. He was short, about 5'7. Dark hair pulled back in a ponytail with a hat on turned backwards. This interaction happened around 7 pm right as the show was starting on 09/25/2026. I wish this was the extent of our interactions with him. During the show the drag kings and queens were mocking Charlie Kirk and other republican politicians. That's clearly why we were all here and this security guard throughout the show was walking past us and monitoring us. Every time he passed us he looked super pissed off, like he wasn't happy with the show that was being put on. This was further proven to us when we left the show after it ended. We were waiting around the corner on the curb for our designated driver to pick us up. The same friend from before leaned down on the step above the curb and the security guard came out and told her to move because the door would swing open. But my friend was only leaning against the very edge of that step where there was a railing so the door wouldn't have come close enough to hit her. Then the security guard asked us in an extremely snarky tone if we enjoyed the... "thing." We said we did and he just looked pissed off. Then he went inside and slammed the door open on purpose and said in another snarky tone, "See! I told you so!" Other than that, we loved the show!! The drinks were super bomb and the venue seemed cozy. It was our first time at a drag show and we tried to have fun despite the nasty attitude of the short misogynistic predatory security guard.
