Tractor Tavern

This beloved Ballard nightspot features a smorgasbord of impressive music on a weekly basis, and performances range from zydeco, bluegrass and country to rock, folk, jazz and beyond. In addition to great live music, the Tractor also offers a friendly, neighborhood vibe as well as local beers on tap (including cans of Seattle Cider). Completing the distinctly American scene are walls decorated with old tractor parts and farming implements, and cowboy boots dangle from the ceiling rafters. The venue is currently requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test taken within 48 hours of the event. Grab dinner beforehand, or enjoy a nightcap after, at a venue within this neighborhood's impressive lineup of eateries and bars.
