We wanted to capture the flavor of southern juke joints when we did the interior of the club. To this end we used Birney Imes’ book, “Juke Joints” which has photos of these classic bars. The interior of Highway 99 Blues Club includes a 34-foot bar made from five antique second hand doors, reclaimed blue velvet benches from the old Masonic Temple, natural/recovered wood art installations and a gallery of paintings and photographs by local artists.

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened!

The J&M Cafe and Cardroom got its name from partners Jamieson and McFarland, who opened for business in Pioneer Square in 1892. It served as a gambling and dancing establishment for the men of the Gold Rush. Its ceiling is pressed tin, rumored to have been installed by Italian craftsmen. The bar-back is made of Austrian mahogany — transported around the Cape in the late 1890s. In 1974 The J&M served as the backdrop for a scene in the John Wayne movie, ‘McQ’.

Lost to history in 2019 but remembered always.

The Off Ramp Cafe music venue was at the heart of the grunge explosion in the ’90s that changed Seattle and music forever; Pearl Jam’s first five shows were in this room. Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and Mudhoney all cut their teeth here. Nirvana even debuted an early version of Aneurysm here in 1990, before it was changed for its official release the next year. The Off Ramp closed in 1999. The venue is still there and still doing shows. It has gone through several name changes and owners over the years. It is now operating under the name El Corazon.

One of the longest-running alternative clubs in Seattle. The 2018 1st Ave location was originally a hotel, then brothel, built at the turn of the century. The Vogue was a small, dark club seminal in what would become the “grunge” scene plus many others, from garage to reggae to the 1st Acid House party on West Coast. Bruce Pavitt, co-owner of Sub Pop, worked there. Well-known co-manager Monny Rybick was a former sailor who wore a leather skirt & would direct newcomers to other venues if he felt The Vogue wasn’t right for them.

Nirvana played their 1st show here in ‘88, opening for Blood Circus. Mudhoney’s 1st show was here too, opening for Das Damen from New York City. Other bands who’ve played here include Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Primus, Tad, Treepeople. Mother Love Bone, Zipgun (Cajun Metal), NOFX, Wayne/Jayne County & countless more.

Located at the western edge of Seattle’s Chinatown-International District at 410 Fifth Avenue South, this venue uniquely featured two different rooms for bands to play in: Gorilla Gardens and the Omni Room. The venue’s official name was Rock Theater.

Green River, often called the first true “Grunge” band, got their start there, along with mainstays like Sonic Youth, the Butthole Surfers, Soundgarden, Hüsker Dü, and the Violent Femmes. Sadly, the club never capitalized off of the sound it pioneered. When fire marshals shut down a Circle Jerks show in 1985, it started a riot, and the doors never opened again.

Thanks for the Music and Memories!

Ah, where to begin on this greatly-missed, legendary ‘90s Belltown joint on 4th Ave. It was a laundromat/music club/art gallery/bar/café/diner – where folks could wash their dirty draws, see a punk show, play arcade and board games, and eat a big ass slice of $2 pizza – often all at once. The Sit & Spin embodied the spirit of so many old “only in Seattle” establishments, and was a favorite hangout for neighborhood locals, musicians, artists, students, street folks, whoever. So many great bands played small shows here, like Mudhoney, The White Stripes, Critters Buggin, The Posies, and Modest Mouse, to name a few.

Originally built in 1917, Seattle’s storied O.K. Hotel has played host to the Emerald City’s creative soul for more than seventy years. With nearly two hundred lo-cost rooms available to worker’s during the growth of Seattle’s downtown and waterfront areas, the storied hotel closed its doors in 1971 only to be re-opened in 1992 just in time to play a prominent role in the cities infamous music scene, welcoming local bands such as Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mudhoney and other touring acts from around the country. Despite closing in 2001, The O.K. Hotel still maintains its legend as one of the cities proudest landmarks.

RKCNDY, has hosted local and national punk and rock bands since 1991. One of the two bookend clubs on either side of the Denny Way freeway overpass (the Off Ramp being the other) that ruled the Seattle scene during the early 1990s, when the city was discovered by the world. Pearl Jam and Soundgarden played there, repeatedly. Radiohead graced their stage in ’94. Even a short list of their most notorious shows reads like a who’s who of 90s bands.
