    I've visited the Nectar Lounge multiple times over the last 8 years to see a number of different acts. The vibes are always right, security has always been friendly, and I love the covered patio area with heaters and tables. In my opinion it's worth it to get VIP for the mezzanine level if it's being offered because there's more seating and a great view, as well as a bar upstairs and separate bathroom. They're open pretty late so the main act usually won't come on until around 10:45. I will continue to come to Nectar Lounge for live music

    Stanton Warriors!

    Nectar Lounge is a smaller club where some big names drop by, and I love the fact that I can see some great acts in a smaller venue. Right before leaving Seattle, I had a chance to see Ferry Corsten here, and on my most recent outing last week, Stanton Warriors played a set here - these are artists that sell out stadiums and mega clubs, so it was a real treat. There is a smaller lounge upstairs, but I love the main floor. Staff and bartender were cool too, and the bar had a decent selection of taps, as well as tequila and scotch. Plenty of other bars nearby for dinner or pre-funk. A great place to catch a show without dealing without going into downtown!

    A little crowded, but a great place to catch a concert. I suggest reserving a spot upstairs if you're going for a show. Drinks are great and not too over priced.

    Went here for a concert on July 23rd. The place was okay. We reserved a booth upstairs and it was extremely small. They say it fits 4 people but it is so tight!! Me, my sister and our partners were squished into 1 booth thinking it would have much more space to be comfy and enjoy the concert BUT NOPE! I also just want to add that we are all pretty slim fit. We were like 4 peas in a pod.. uncomfortable. On top of that it was extremely HOT! There was no air circulating upstairs! We were sweating so bad I had to step outside to get some air more than 20 times through out the entire concert. Mind you the concert lasted for 6 hours. It was just horrible and wouldn't recommend reserving those booths that " fit 4 people " because THEY DONT! But the concert was amazing overall. That's probably the only good thing about the entire event was the fantastic music!

    Flor de toloache was amazing

    It's hip and you can hear the music no matter where you are. 3 stars because it was hot. Almost unbearable. And making your way to the bar requires getting more up close and personal than I cared to get with strangers. Takes a certain type of person to appreciate this atmosphere. Not for me, but I'd recommend it to a hipper crowd

    Wow, Frank had never been to the Nector before until Allen Stone graced the stage and I'm a believer of this venue. Perfect stage for bands to play an interment show for there fans. Things that impressed me were: * excellent non thug security * great sight lines * outside bar with excellent view of stage. Good for summer shows ***** Only one negative was bar situation was lame. Outside bar didn't have full selection of booze for mix drinks and main floor bar which had all the booze close due to being an all ages show. ***** FRANK give the THUMBS up award for most fabulous venue. I'll be back!

    Did they even buffer the movie?! What the hell? It's supposed to start at 7pm...

    See all

    I've been at Nectar when it had an all ages event this summer. It depends.

I have to look far and wide for anything like that in Seattle.(Still a native, so put down the pitch forks) Here it was. It was $25/person and my husband and I are trying to be prudent with money. It is very, very hard to save when you can't go out for less than $100 these days. I work in education so.... yeah. I thought we were late to the show so I asked for a discount on the cover. They said the band just started and they couldn't do that. I apologized and said I wasn't trying to haggle at all. The staff was very kind to us, even tho we were waffling. I've come to expect the cold front. The bartender who served me at the comedy show just before the Tavern refused to make any human contact. He just handled my cash and handed me my drink, like a robot. I still have warm blood pumping through my veins. Tractor Tavern was so warm and friendly. They gave us time to talk about it outside. We stepped outside. The music was percolating through the glass. I am a classic rock junkie. I took us back in. At the bar, I asked for a double. The bartender moved to the side to reveal a sign that said "no doubles". I laughed and apologized. He was kind and made a friendly joke. I seriously don't expect anyone to be nice to me anymore. I expect a chilly silence. This was so welcoming and warm. I wasn't treated like a jerk even tho some of my questions could warrant that response. They allowed me to be new and be human. The music was amazing. Let the children lose it. Let the children use it. Let all the children boogie. Thank you for keeping the human vibe alive and friendly. We will be back.

Echo Yen D. that…read morethe best time to come for deep listening is 6PM, as the main lounge is quieter (with no prior sessions). My husband and I enjoyed a lovely listening session of John Coltrane A Love Supreme. Acoustics are outstanding, which is the main reason to check out Shibuya HiFi. Drinks: Having been warned by both a colleague as well as all Shibuya reviews (Google and Yelp) on mid-cocktails, we enjoyed our favorite spirit on rocks and averted disaster. Cocktails are $18+ and there is a single bartender. As several reviewers note, drinks are not permitted in the listening room, so make sure to enjoy your drink prior to your scheduled session. Seating: We arrived around 5PM for our 6PM session to grab a quick drink and lined up ~5:20PM to be first in line (seating is first-come, first-serve). Shoes off in the listening room. Best seats are front and center of the listening room, with uncomfortable stools towards the back. Music: The storytelling of the album was simple (might have expected more knowledge of the album), with the host spending majority of time introducing us to the acoustic sound equipment of the room.

Super chill and just a dope atmosphere overall. It's the kind of place where you feel like you're in the right spot for the night. Service was solid, everybody was cool and actually knew what they were talking about. Drinks were on point too....not the basic stuff you get everywhere else. What I really liked is the whole vinyl/listening-room experience. You come here to actually enjoy the music, not just talk over it. The sound system is amazing, the playlists are well put together and the whole place just gives you that "I'm somewhere unique" feeling. I get why people love this place, it's perfect for a date, catching up with friends, or just relaxint with good music and good energy. Definitely worth it!!

The whole experience was quite awesome. Our facilitator, Tom E. was great at giving us feedback to make us sound better, individually and together. The other musicians in the group were very focused and committed to practicing between sessions and being prepared for the next session. Everyone who represented UMF was super professional and welcoming throughout the initial registration to the final performance. Not only are they getting musicians together to play music, but they're creating an authentic community that I've felt welcomed into since day one! This was exactly what I needed to get my butt out and playing with other musicians and having fun at the same time.

As a singer, finding a band was always exceptionally challenging, and eventually life gave way to a husband, kids, and a day job. I found UMF on craigslist when we first moved here, and stalked their website for nearly a year. I was interested in joint a Vagaband series, but my travel schedule is hectic, and makes it difficult to commit to anything- even 3-6 weeks. Just before Christmas, a series opened up that I HAD TO JOIN, and I happened to have the 6 weeks to commit to it. You are plunked into a group of people you have never met. You all have the same goal, and a setlist already assigned. The first rehearsal everyone came prepared, and the first song kind of takes your breath away. You just formed a band (albeit short term). The chemistry in my first Vagaband series was amazing, our show was packed, and I formed real friendships beyond the performance. Instant rock and roll fantasy. I'm now in my second series, and to say this is a business would be a gross inaccuracy. This is a community. I have been welcomed into it warmly, made to feel my talent is validated, and definitely see this community as a family of musicians I couldn't be happier to be a part of. What Tom and Matt created and nurture is so much more than a music lesson.
