Although it's experienced a variety of incarnations over the decades and boasts a rich history, the current-day Showbox is a must-visit place to catch touring bands directly across from storied Pike Place Market. Amid Art Deco columns, young and hip crowds clamor to hear and see their favorite groups. There's even a dance floor on which to show off one's moves if the spirit strikes. Plus, several bars accommodate patrons with a good menu of libations. Before the show, pop by Kerns Music Shop, a lounge formerly know as The Green Room, which provides an intimate atmosphere and features a full bar.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Seattle Local Expert
- Dance Clubs: "Tip to be one of the first in the door: If you're 21 years of age or older, the venue first welcomes in patrons who purchase food or drinks in Kerns Music Shop (the lounge space at The Showbox, just off the lobby) or the Showbox SoDo Lounge prior to a show. Both open two hours before door time."
- Best Nightlife: "Also check out a stellar concert lineup taking place at sister site, Showbox SoDo. At both venues, guests must show either proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the event."
- Live Music: "To be one of the first in the door, if you're 21 years of age or older, the venue welcomes patrons in first who purchase food or drinks in the Green Room (the lounge space at Showbox at the Market, just off the lobby) prior to a show."
- Best for Dance Clubs Because: Showbox at the Market brings live music downtown, but it also brings a hopping dance floor on nights when bands aren't booked.
- Recommended as Best Nightlife Because: Although it's experienced a variety of incarnations, the historic Showbox is a must-visit venue in which to catch touring bands just across from Pike Place Market.
- Best for Live Music Because: Showbox at the Market showcases hip talents that include some of the nation's hottest headliners.
