Is this a private club now? Closed most of the time. The few times they were open the staff was weird. Bartender tried to charge me 9 bucks for a beer when it said 6 on the menu, twice. Place has a strange vibe like they don't want any customers. Two stars, at least the beer was cold.
I met up with friends on a Sunday night to listen to jazz and it was a great time. It's not crowded at all and people show up at different times so the crowd changes as the night goes on. We met folks visiting from out-of-town who wanted to experience the cool Seattle music scene. And we met other friendly locals who are into jazz. (I know- crazy! But the Seattle Freeze was not in effect!) The bartender was great and made an awesome Negroni! There is a full bar and plenty of spaces to sit with a view of the stage or tucked away if you want to chat with friends while still enjoying the music. I'm looking forward to checking out other nights to see how different the crowd and vibe are when it's more crowded.
I went to the Sea Monster Lounge for the first time, to see and support some of my musical friends. I ordered a drink only to support the establishment while there, when paying my bill I found I was charged a credit check fee. Never in my 70 years have I had such a charge applied to my bill. As much as I enjoyed the music, I am not sure I will return after being charge for credit card check.
Buena música y tragos a buen precio y fácil acceso al lugar....
