Top notch staff in this intimate venue. I highly recommend it.
I just played a show there and the staff and sound engineer were professional and friendly. Great venue and awesome bar!
One of Seattle's best bars and venues!! Sound quality is ideal. Fun staff and always a good place to see music, local and touring.
Don’t kid yourself the main reason to come here is to listen to the live band(s) that are playing that night ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s definitely one of the bigger and better stages found in Ballard and on that street. Great venue especially when it comes to their lights.
To Spencer behind the bar, "Love ya man!"
I love hanging around in downtown Ballard but especially at the Sunset Tavern. I'll stop in and have a Tecate and chat with Spencer or if there's a show I'm looking forward to seeing. This intimate stage has a magical way of bringing people together. Love this venue!!
It had been a little while since I got up to Seattle to see a show. This last one was Love Battery and Purple Strange one I wouldn't miss. The new look of the Sunset was cool and the venue clean and all that. The bands sounded great and the drinks were tasty! Great place to catch your favorite bands. I'll be back :)
Recently attended a concert here and purchased a fresh beverage from the bar. The perfect amount of Ballard quaint, place to connect with friends or unwind in the front half of the bar or attend a hip concert in the back! Friendly staff, good drinks & perfect amount of camp with a great spot to catch some up and coming or hip indie bands all in one night, I’ll definitely be back!
Amazing small concert venue. Decent drinks they whip out fast so you can get back to enjoying the show or enjoy before or after at their awesome tables. The decor is tacky in that very well executed and deliberate sort of way that is fun and flashy with out pretension. The staff are chill and pleasant with easy smiles and dexterous hands. Would recommend stopping in to see a show if you are able!
The true gem of Ballard. Everyone who works here is amazing and it feels like real Ballard in here. The vibe is good. Also one of my favorite venues for live shows. Have seen a lot of really good bands here.
Place was fun on Halloween, saw Vanilla Abstract play and tons of people were in very fun costumes. The beer was good and the atmosphere was happening. Good amount of space to both talk and dance.
Great spot for local artists to perform and hang out. The green room is awesome, and staff were friendly. Show room is separate from the front bar area that can be accessed through a door. It's an intimate space with plenty of stage room. Would definitely play there again or go see a dope local show.
Attended shows here since moving to Seattle some years ago. Small venue with character. Tastefully nautical theme bar w porthole windows to preview the action inside and out. Hosts some good bands at a right price $ (can be hit or miss) and smaller crowds.
This is a fantastic place to experience an intimate concert setting. For anyone who would rather catch their favorite artist little more up close than in an expansive venue will love this place. I went to one show here earlier this year and decided to come back for another show because of my experience. The front part of the venue is a bar, so even if you arrive early, you have a way to pass the time. They bring FANTASTIC musical acts every year, so find yourself a show and go checkout The Sunset Tavern.
