I came here and waited so long in line and paid for tickets to a show and got kicked out in line because the bouncer said I had bad vibes but he kept moving me with his security stick because he said I was in the way of people exiting ..... I literally wasn't and he said he wouldn't refund me. So rude, never coming back , literally ruined my night I haven't seen my friends in so long. 0/10. Horrible. read more

Kremwerk on NYE was crazy. It might have just been because of the energy that night, but the huge mess of rooms, crowds of people, and different music in each room made it so fun. It reminded me of clubbing in Berlin and there were music styles for every group. My only regret was not bringing my concert earplugs it is LOUD. Also be careful when you're walkind around! There's a lot of pathways and stairs and I saw a couple of people falling down. read more

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! read more

We went and me being from Miami I thought yeah ok good edm club. The clubs in Phoenix are so much better Was NOT liking the $20/each cover and over priced weak AF drinks Small like bedroom sized small and you can't take a drink from upstairs downstairs or vice verse. NOT impressed with Seattle. In miami have Club Space, thousands of people in a club. here maybe 100. yeah i've been in clubs with 10,000 people in them and loved every minute of it. here, yeah not going back. I really don't like the homeless crazy fu@ks walking all around either here in seattle. Too liberal Arizona maybe republican run, but the weed is better. the clubs are better. the surrounding is better NO RAIN I like swimming pools, weed and night clubs and money Here i only get the money which quality of life suffers because even the weed here is weak AF. read more

The worst experience I've ever had at a bar. It's 1:52am and I'm standing at the bar with a beer that I purchased 5 minutes ago and it is 3/4 full. The security guard comes up to me with a bus box and tells me it's last call. I acknowledge him and say thank you. He tells me I have to finish my beer immediately I thank him again and tell him I will be done soon. Without warning, he proceeds to forcibly rip the beer out of my hand and throws it into his bus box. I'm sitting there absolutely blown away by what has just happened. I go to the bartender to tell him what occurred and he is defending the security guard. I ask to speak to the manager on duty and he tells me that he is the bar manager. He offers me a shot and I refuse. At this point, I don't even care about the lost money that I paid for on the drink... it's about the principle of the situation. There was no reason for the security guard to act in the manner that he did. There is absolutely no reason for this type of behavior from the employees. I will be contacting the owner about the behavior of this employee as soon as possible. If the owner of this establishment condones this type of behavior from their employees, they deserve to lose business. I wish I could give zero stars for this review. read more

Always the best venue in Seattle and NYE was extremely lit. The space keeps building and expanding. Never disappoints.

I've been inappropriately touched, groped, and some guy straight up tried putting his hand up my skirt here and nothing was ever done by security. I haven't been back since the pandemic started in 2020, so they may have hired new security people that don't let men get away with assault, but I still won't go back. It's too unsafe. read more

Being new in town I had to go check out the nightlife, especially looking for some techno. I'm so glad I found Kremwerk! They have different events, especially drag shows weekly, but I've only been to see some techno DJs. The place is downstairs and it's not large, it's dingy and has a bit of an industrial feel to it, it actually reminds me of Detroit a bit. Good music, nice bartenders, and chill vibes. Definitely recommended. read more

Yikes... I don't know why so many club establishments are just utter trash ever since the pandemic. Who ever owns this joint, you really could consider putting in more effort into things. It could be cleaner, and more interestingly decorated. Also, the staff is so lackluster! As a woman of color, i am never allowed to give poor service at a job - yet i always recieve it? Really not fair if you ask me... I'm a bartender too, and you really don't have a reason to be rude to a customer as soon as they walk up to you. Like ok i just won't tip you at all then?? I believe you need bouncers inside as well! Don't have rules if there's no one to enforce them. So many people disrespected my friends and i space. We just wanted to dance not being able to have my self defense weapons with me made me super uncomfortable because this was a hostile environment. Won't be coming back. read more

I've been in Seattle my entire life so this bar is still fairly new to me. Bouncer at the door is super rude and the place was empty while they charged a $20 cover. Didn't see the value in the cover charge and bouncer needs to learn how to speak to patrons. Go to Pony instead. read more

Well good morning. I came here last night for the first time. Let me clarify that I'm an Interpreter and went with some deaf friends and interpreted the music so they could have the same experience as the rest of us and I did not wear a mask so they can read my lips too. The Host on February 24th 2024 in drag started yelling BOO and kicking me out of the bar for not wearing a mask, it didn't cross their mind to ask why but they went ahead and started BOOing me and got the whole bar in on it then when they realized what I was doing (as if it was not obvious) they apologized on stage and looked a fool. When this happened a person in the crowd yelled at the queen and said "They're working!!" And come to find out his sister is also an interpreter. I was not the only one without a mask on, there were about 20 other people without a mask on, I was just singled out because I was signing... I thought this was a safe space for everyone to be who they are... Okay I'm definitely not brining friends back who have different abilities and use an interpreter. They will get roasted and humiliated. 0/10 stars. Get it together folks. It's 2024. Sit down and stop getting turned on by humiliating people. Never again, spreading the word to the Deaf community and the queer community about this NOT safe space. Owner, feel free to message me. We need to talk. read more

one of the best clubs in the universe. go if you don't respect yourself. go to dance, not to be seen. grab some tequila sodas and get lost. read more

Good rave scene , dress warm , mostly good guys looking for women but there's always an occasional nice guy who's down.

Great spot for shows and performances, minus paying a cover and having to pay for very expensive, very small and very underwhelming drinks. The drag queen said onstage, "The drinks here lack substance, and you want a refund" I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't. I'd still go, I'd just pre-game before. read more

Visiting from the SF Bay Area, and the experience was completely unreasonable for the pay and "exclusivity" it advertised by the "separate" dance floors and bars the place offers. The cover fee is unreasonable with the music they play, and unless you're a deep house/techno fanatic, then you're in for a surprise. There is no relevant music here, and it is overpriced for what they offer. The nightlife is seemingly unlikely, and it is already overpriced and very much overcrowded on the dance floor despite their care towards vaccination status. Strange, I think there should be more emphasis on their burlesque shows and other methods of entertainment as they advertise online, but seemingly none on their long weekend. I think for people visiting this city, should reconsider their visit here. read more

Love Kremwerk. It's a pretty cool location with an even better policy when it comes to safety and respect for others. They have a variety of events, including drag shows and kinky parties. The space is great, they have two floors and multiple bars, entrance is on the street with street parking and a paid parking lot around the corner. read more

I'm not normally one for the nightclub scene, but a friend of mine was performing in the drag show and I stepped out to support her. What. An. Amazing. Night. The club is pretty low-key and chill, which is preferable to me. It wasn't terribly crowded, and the DJ was fantastic. The music was upbeat, but had trippy, dark-ish undertones, if that makes any sense. It wasn't necessarily 'happy' music, and I was perfectly fine with that. The club requires a cover charge upon entry, but if you're friends with a performer, they can put you on their guest list and you'll be able to bypass the cover. Hard liquor drinks seem to be pretty steep in price, comparatively. I had a blast and will be returning in the future! read more

Great vibes and the perfect place to go if you want intimate and incredibly fun techno/house music

Been coming here for years. Love the vibe and love the drag shows, especially Cucci's Critter Barn. I especially appreciate that even after the mask mandate has ended, they continue to ask for proof of vaccines and require masking--I so appreciate that they care about the continued impact of COVID on immunocompromised community members! read more

I originally came to Kremwerk to support DJ Jimi Jaxon's kick starter (discodroppings.com/kickstarter) , but after my first experience I am definitely going to be a regular at Kremwerk! Often in Seattle it's really hard to find a bar/night club/ etc. that isn't trying too hard and is just a nice space to be in. Kremwerk is that place. When you walk down the stairs into the venue you're greeted with crisp air and a dark dungeon like feel (but it's not too creepy I promise). Although they spend their nights in a dark cavern Kremwerk's bartenders are far from vampires. You're greeted with a friendly face and drinks are made with an honest pour, like the ought to be. A downside? I ordered two vodkas - $20 later... I don't see the need for it to be so pricey, especially since it was well vodka, but then again I'm not a bar owner. I'm excited to see how Kremwerk evolves. Go! Check it out! read more

Thank you for the vip service that I ve experience. My own vip section and own security And for my hot servers And so sorry go Made it rains 100 $ to make people act like that But any way Thks read more

They made an amazing show impossible to watch by at least half of the audience by way overselling the show beyond capacity and crowding way too many people in. The stage is way too low to see past standing people from about mid-room to the back. They also had standing room only for most of the venue which I never experienced at a drag show before and didn't have enough seating for people with physical issues. The entrance/hallway/bar was packed to the gills and difficult to get through. I also heard they were selling tickets to people waiting outside even though it was beyond capacity and telling them that there would be several performances that night, yet there was only one. read more

Sadly Seattle is not best place to listen techno music, here is only 3 place wher you can go. Kremwerk, Monkey Loft and Ora. Kremwerk definitely best choice. Not expansive price, always new dj's from Germany, Uk, France, Australia. Love this place. Why 4 stars?! Because this night club very far from SF, Miami,NY clubs. Enjoy guys. You will not find better place in WA state. read more

One of the best clubs in Seattle hands down. A haven for queer culture and underground dance music. Every night is different so check the calendar before going to make sure it's something you are interested in. Queer women owned and operated. Cover charges go towards bringing in top notch world renowned talent and employing hundreds of local artists as well. I don't really understand people who go on yelp to give a 1 star review because they were asked to pay a cover charge lol. I take it you don't do a lot of clubbing. Always evolving and expanding - now includes an additional bar and stage, a patio and a pizza parlor! Location is unbeatable! We love the Kremwerk Complex! read more

I enjoyed the club atmosphere of Kremwork. The lighting is really cool, all the rainbow everywhere was awesome. I love the space and the seating, and the outdoor area. The people were really nice to us, including security. We came to see a friend and they were not rufe and very helpful to us. Not a stuck up attitude or anything, just professional! There were deejays mixing different styles of music and backdrops with graphic visuals. It made you feel comfortable. The employees seemed to all be smiling and in the beginning, just ready to take on a good night. You can fit a very decent amount of people in this venue, allowing for headliners and locals to come in and enjoy a night. It was very pleasant to look at, and with that "underground" feel that so many people have grown to enjoy. Definitely somewhere I w ould relax and dance like nobody is watching! read more

Kremwerk - Beautiful rainbow lighting - Dance Clubs Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had been coming here for a long time supporting events for years before the pandemic and then they decided to make it a vaccine only venue. Although other clubs around the city have dropped all regulations that they have continued to leave that up. Which is strange and definitely doesn't make me want to support them even though I know I could come with a negative test. It's stupid!! I don't appreciate it the invasion of privacy I don't think it's a very conscious move on their end. People need to be responsible for themselves. Bringing people's personal health records to a club is absolutely ridiculous. On that note it's small and not ventilated super stuffy no fresh air no fans. read more

Low number of creeps. I've seen great talent here. I dig the sound, and the space itself is lowkey, which I like. I've been here mostly for techno and house parties. Dancing here is fun and I don't typically experience creepers as is the case at other clubs. The bathroom line is never too long, in part because the restrooms are unisex (at least for parties I've been to...this may not always be the case). There is a good bit of seating, without being intrusive to the dance floor. They host a variety of events including macabre drag shows, queer dance parties and sweet underground techno. I've come here and been disappointed with the acts, but others were clearly enjoying them so it's just...not my taste. There are a few programs I can count on for a good time including research and no nonsense (both are booked here on the reg). Tickets can be a bit pricey, and drinks aren't cheap, but...it is what it is. read more

This is one of Seattles newer clubs and most trendy in the denny triangle area Very queer friendly open to drag shows and fashion forward disco night and a deck inside if you feel like relaxing from the mega hoping dance floor fun staff and drink specials for a gay dive bar feel with a Miami vice twist tis is it read more

I was with a group of friends, celebrating one of their birthdays. Kremwerk was on our way to Capitol Hill, so we stopped for a couple drinks. Cover was $20, which I normally wouldn't mind paying for a decent club, with decent music, and a lot of people. First of all they don't accept debit card for cover..cash only, and no ATM on the premises or within a one block radius. After a nice hike to find an ATM, I made my way back, paid my cover and desperately needed a drink. This place is a basement bar, with purple lights shining on the concrete walls, and low ceilings. It was pretty dark in there, probably in an attempt to hide the fact that we were in a basement, or maybe to add to the dreary, dungeon-like ambiance. My group of about 15 more than doubled the number of people in the bar, to include the bar staff. It was about 11PM on a Saturday. The music was pretty terrible. There was a DJ in the DJ booth, but really the music was super repetitive, sounded like a skipping CD or maybe a failing water pump. Either way, not really dancing music, which explains why there was no one on the dance floor. I guess I wouldn't really describe this place as a dance club, so fine. The drinks were pretty much average for Seattle, and the bar staff was friendly. When it's all said and done, you're in a frickin basement with terrible music and a small handful of people, and paying $20 to get in. read more

Kremwerk is a newer club next to Rebar which offers a smaller intimate space with a decent sound system and a well-stocked bar. I came here to see one of my favorite Bay Area DJs, M3, and relaly enjoyed the music, space and vibe. It reminds me of the now defunct ETG in the sense that it is smaller, has a great roster of DJs, and afterhours with people trickling in late, but in a subterranean location and with nicer restrooms. The bar a nice selection of booze and beers, but also Krug, which was a surprise. It fills a void in terms of programming and size, and I'll definitely be back soon. read more

I love this place so much it is truly one of a kind. It is such a safe space for all! Genuinely feels like somewhere where the entire staff and club-goers are all always kind and respectful. There is almost always an event going with a theme that is posted on their Instagram and Website. I have never met such a creative community of people in my life. This is truly one of Seattles gems :) read more

Kremwerk is a cool, quirky underground club (literally) that books unique acts, has fun events, and often stays open until 4 am. It's a great option if you're looking to stay in one place all night, or if you want to just keep the party going! The staff is incredibly friendly, and all of them know how to make a mean drink. The sound system has great bass, and the dance floor is ample for those looking to tear it up. The space is enhanced with very cool lighting equipment as well. If you come with a group of friends, there is usually ample VIP booth-type seating to set up camp for the night. They do have coat check at the door and security is there, though I've never felt like the crowd was sketchy at all. I booked a private party here and the club director Austin was awesome to work with, had lots of decoration ideas, and really helped my friend and I make our event memorable for us and our guests! read more

Hands down, this design student's choice destination for some underground fun. Increasingly queer events (had I not relaxed at the spa today I'd be at Bottom40 rn - however there is always Cathedral, and fags saying yes will be a must go), in a well designed basement with plenty of room to dance and colorful corners to relax. Posh enough without pretension, well-poured libations, and less "Basics" than other locations; granted as another reviewer pointed out;this city still has a long way to go in having a populace that, like... gets "it" - I literally listened to these guys have a conversation admitting to having no idea what they were supposed to do there lol. That's where patrons like myself and others come in, at least in my head I'm a decent enough example. Also a "hot donkey" tequila shot, 2 vodkas and a "Heartbeat" cocktail for a mere $22 +tip adn $10 cover; not terrible. Simply a dark dance floor to enjoy well after last-call without paying a stupid cover for creeps and kids at Neighbors shaking it to a needing to be retired mix. Q may boast a bigger sound system but I tired quickly of that overexposed and underwhelming interior. However for me to have proper fun I always head here; it helps that it's mere blocks from SLU and my school. I imagine the crowd will only get more interesting, which has been it's fulfilled trajectory so far. read more

Checked out Kremwerk on a Saturday night; it looks like they haven't been open too long, but I was very impressed. The first challenge was finding the venue; it's on the same block as Re-bar, but around the corner and down in the basement. That said, it's a very nice, clean basement setting with good lighting and a clear sound system. The staff is very friendly; overall the place has a European feel. For a moment, I felt like in another city. I would definitely go back again; I love having enough room to dance, and the "house-party" vibe kept everyone happy. No pretension here. Won't you help them break in their new space? read more

This bar definitely impressed me. I love the atmosphere and the location. The staff is super friendly, and they have some amazing events. I love their increasing number of queer events. I came for a drag King show, and that was absolutely amazing, so props to them for encouraging diversity. I also came during Halloween got a zombie event, and that was a blast. This bar is always a good time, check their calendar, they always have fun events coming up. read more

The month Sin party is a great goth/industrial night. Definitely the best crowd for clubs and events of this kind in Seattle. And almost all new music (they spin a few older tracks at the end of the night--as it should be). read more

Great environment and music. I love that the pizza spot is literally right there as well, which makes it so convenient to grab some food after some dancing! read more
