Drinks strong, lighting was mostly out, and at one point I lost both my dignity and my phone. Miss neither. Special shoutout to the special "architectural feature" in the back that really encourages community engagement. What a glory! Rare to find a venue so committed to breaking down barriers between people. Capitol Hill hasn't felt this delightfully un-holey in years. Will absolutely return, probably wearing gloves.

My only complaint is the security guard. And one in particular. He's got medium length dark hair and always wears a hat.

She's very friendly and helpful.

I wanted to share some feedback about my experience at the after-hours. I was honestly caught off…read moreguard by how openly drug use was happening on the dance floor. This wasn't subtle, it was multiple people openly doing cocaine lines in plain sight. I understand the nature of after-hours and that people may arrive already under the influence, but this felt far beyond that. It created an environment that didn't feel safe or controlled. What stood out most is how normalized it seemed, which raises concerns about liability and potential risks to the business. I'm surprised this hasn't drawn attention from regulators, given how visible it was. I'm sharing this because it feels like something that could become a serious issue if it continues unchecked.

I had a really disappointing experience at Crescent Lounge…read more I was asked to leave after talking with two other patrons, which is fine--bars can make that call. However, during the process, the staff member at the door grabbed my arm hard enough to leave visible bruising. What made this worse is that when I followed up with management, I was told a different version of events that didn't reflect what actually happened. There was no acknowledgment of the physical force used, despite the injury. I tried to handle this privately first and gave the business time to review their security footage, but the response I received was dismissive. I'm sharing this so others are aware. I hope Crescent Lounge takes a closer look at how situations like this are handled in the future.

What used to be a fun night out has turned into a place with rude security, poor customer service, and an overall atmosphere that feels completely different from what it once was. The staff act like customers are an inconvenience, and the entire experience felt disorganized and poorly managed. The club itself seems to have lost whatever made it special. Instead of leaving excited to come back, I left wondering why I spent my money there in the first place. There are way too many better options in Seattle to waste your time here. This used to be a place I recommended to friends. Now it's a place I actively tell people to avoid. Save yourself the cover charge, overpriced drinks, and disappointment.

I stopped by the Christmas dive bar, a pop up at the Woods, early in December. Luckily even though…read moremy friends and I went on Thursday at 5pm there was no line. However, when I wanted to stop by a couple days ago there was a line outside of 20 people. Since the bar is super popular we had to wait in a pretty long line inside at the bar. The bartenders were moving as fast as possible but since they were finishing entire orders before moving onto the next person the line moved slowly. The entire bar was decked out in Christmas decorations, featuring a large tree, numerous festive wall adornments ideal for Instagram. The place fully embraced the Christmas theme, significantly contributing to the dive bar's overall ambiance. The Christmas-themed menu consisted of 5-6 festive drinks including a couple of seasonal specials, and a "nice and naughty" shot. I tried the ube and coconut drink which I thought was really tasty and not too sweet.The combination of ube and coconut proved to be harmonious and it was quite strong. I also tried the pumpkin espresso martini drink which was definitely stronger but I didn't really get the hints of pumpkin or espresso. They also had Jell-O shots that were surprisingly big. They had red and green Jell-O shots, but honestly, I couldn't tell much difference in taste between them

Q Nightclub is a pretty typical nightclub that features floor to ceiling bathrooms split into two…read moresides (urinals, regular toilets), an upstairs section for what I assume is VIP, a downstairs VIP section, a few tables with barstools to sit at and a decent sized dance area. Something neat I noticed is a giant projector that had rules/guidelines for patrons, and one of them said that if anyone is bothering you to tell one of the guards. There is also someone stationed at the bathrooms directing traffic and making sure the hallways stay clear. I only came here for a special event and I am typically not interested in going to clubs, but it was a fairly good experience aside from the issue with the bartender. I had a great time on the dance floor and most people were friendly. I would rate it a 4/5 if not for her. (Price Range): $50+ (Music): Not bad. The music was in the EDM-Electronic realm, featuring remixes of classic songs. I can't say if this was the regular music because I only came here for an event, so they could've been catering to that specific crowd. (Location): The location seemed decent. There is a parking lot very close to the establishment, but I didn't pay so I don't know if the prices are reasonable. (Drinks): The drink I was given was not good and seemed more ice than anything. However, my friend chose the drink, so it could've just been a drink choice that didn't mesh well with me. (Service): Security was fine, no issues with them. The older female bartender (late 30s to 40s) with straight blondish hair was awful. My friend ordered our drinks and I paid for them. When I got the bill I was surprised because I was charged $20+ for each drink. I do not regularly go out, but I had just gone to another club the night before and the drinks were nowhere near that, so of course I was surprised. These were literally THE most expensive drinks I've ever had in my life, and the fact that dozens of reviews say the same thing should say something. If the value were there it would be worth it, but it isn't. As I'm showing my friend the receipt in a "girl, do you see this?" fashion the bartender starts getting nasty, thrashing her hands in our direction and telling a male patron that "she doesn't know what that is and that she doesn't speak that language". I never spoke to her, nor did we even make eye contact, I was speaking to my friend. So there was no need for her to act like that or even look my way. Furthermore, she became more irate at the tip I left her, which I left because of her poor attitude and the clear price gouging for the drinks. Most would've left her $0. I wasn't given a receipt which was odd, but now I know why. My card was charged for more than what I left her. So I suggest paying cash or to use a card designed only for going out if you do so.

I had the opportunity to speak with Mike on social media who was helpful in answering all my many questions. He later connected me with one of their VIP managers, John, who was quick to reach out and call to ensure we were on the same page and on point for the day of the event. He made some useful recommendations as to where I should have my tables and accommodated all of my guests upon entry. During the day of my event, David, who was one of the VIP hosts was so generous to connect with me and allowed me to be first to enter the main floor upon opening. David and my servers, Natalie and Blossom were so respectful and kind - they truly helped make my special celebration a memorable one. I'm so happy to see the successes and growth of Vue since they've opened in 2018. Their security team was also very kind! Steve who has been there for years, I believe, introduced himself to me and then there was another sir who saw that I was standing on a stool to record an performance and he later came by to carefully help me down without ask. Vue brings to life an artistic concept for nightlife that is inclusive of all communities. Their 4 different rooms and main floor creates space for every kind of guest. Whether you are looking to be near the crowd or to break away in the back, they have tables you can book to fit your very need. I appreciated their various table packages as it is inclusive of minimums and gratuity with tax later being added on at the end of the night. They make the booking experience very easy. I will say they tend to have a later start where it peaks around 11:30p. Other than that, I highlight recommend Vue Lounge - their team is a great example of what it means to treat their guests with respect so that everyone has a fun time.
