This place rocks! Its the perfect medium sized venue for small bands with big lineups and big bands with medium fanbase. HUGE mosh pit area. They offer delicious food, two huge bars two large areas for 21+ and all ages. The staff are friendly and professional. The bathrooms were clean and sanitary. I didnt go back stage but if the back is as good as the front it should look new and awesome.

ROCK AND ROLL AT ITS FINEST! SHOW BOX ROCKS! SAVE MUSIC!

Showbox SoDo is a great venue! My husband and I saw Matt & Kim earlier this month and it was awesome! The drinks are priced as you would expect at a downtown Seattle club, but are decently strong. I would recommend everyone going and checking out a show at the Showbox SoDo.

Always a great time. The staff is awesome and the music rocks. Stop by anytime and see for yourself

Decent venue. Not big, but in a good location for downtown.

Good venue, 2 bar areas (one with seating, off to the side, the other by the entrance opposite the stage), both with good drink and beer selection. They also serve food, though we didnt even get a chance to look at the menu with food trucks around throughout (and after) the show, finding dinner was nice and easy!Found cheap parking nearby as well ($10 for the event), right next door to the venue. This was our first show here, went with my GF to see Tove Lo and we had a blast! Well definitely plan on seeing more shows her in the future!

So much fun to see shows here!

A really good place to see your favorite music artists. Its a little too small than i expected but still a nice place. I went to see Alan Walker here and it was super fun.

We attended the Showbox for a concert I upgraded to a table. View was great! We didnt have to deal with potential assaults from the pit lol, it was way more relaxed while still being able to complately enjoy the show! All with table service for drinks and food. I do suggest that if you want merch, its wise to purchase before the show starts because that side is jam packed when people begin to leave.

Well hell. Whenever Ive attended shows at the Showbox, I feel like Im having a concert experience in my basement. Very intimate and chill. Last night show with Andy Frasco was spot on and a blast. Loved him crowd surfing racing to the basketball hoop. Very original

Love this venue.. honestly feels like you’re having a concert in your basement. Atmosphere is great and is super personal.

Fantastic venue. My wife and I sat in ADA-seating due to a health condition - Im always nervous the first time in a place like this, needing to use ADA services, because some places just dont care. Showbox did. Less than two minutes after our tickets were scanned, we had been walked directly to our seats, given the names of two different people who could help us if we needed anything during the show, and had a great view of the stage. The drinks were good, the food was what you expect from a place like this (serviceable), the acoustics are great. Most important to me is that they took the time to care about their customers.

Fun arcade with tons of classic games. It’s also a true Nickel Arcade! No cards or tokens, just good old fashion nickels. The games all worked well and they have a pretty good selection. Perfect for kids or a fun date night. Only gets four stars because it could be cleaner.. they need to be cleaning more frequently and move some of their broken supplies into the back room.

The lights look so much better in person but it was very spacious I went to see clairo the concert was great. great place for concerts.

Amazing. Have seen CL and Sunmi. Smaller venue so you get to see the artist more clearly! Only problems is lines. There are no signs that indicate V.I.P or GA. Everything else is perfect.

I saw Conan Gray last night and the staff was amazing! I really want to shout out the nice bearded man who gave me some cash to store my pepper spray with a hotdog vendor down the street. I really appreciated it and it started my whole concert experience really positively! Thank you! The other staff were also very helpful handing out free water and crowd shuffling so the people in the front were safe. Showbox SoDo is a great venue!

Attended USC Loves You on Valentines Day, and other than being almost-unbarably hot, the show was AMAZING! The open floor set up with a bar area at the back, VIP to the side, was spacious and perfectly organized. The light show effects and screen behind the DJ were impressive. The smoke stacks going off every few minutes didnt even make the air inside stifling! All in all, the whole show was extremely well done and performed flawlessly! I always enjoy coming to the Showbox.

Great place for small to medium sized events. The layout of the building and positioning of the speakers provide great acoustics.There is a full bar, where drinks generally pretty strong and are relatively cheap.

Ive seen some of the best shows here. Caravan Palace twice, Thievery Corporation, Brazilian Girls, David Walking to make a few. Love that its a small more personal venue. Even happier that it will be staying open in the foreseeable future congrats!!

Smaller venue that lets you get close to the artists. There is a bar on the left side that is not always open. Great for 21 and up shows.

I went to the trippie Redd concert and it was really fun(note: it gets hot when your in the crowd)

Great concert venue! Show was great. Bar was awesome. Parking was a disaster. Had a lot of fun.

Nice sound system and good bar with a small stand for food. I had the most amazing night at the Ganja concert. Awesome people with plenty of space and a good ratio of those of age or that drink to not overcrowd any single area.

Showbox has a pretty wild stage and lighting setup, but acoustics-wise it is (as the name implies) effectively a giant hollow box so the sound leaves something to be desired. Bar area takes up a pretty substantial amount of space so some concerts can feel cramped despite the size of the venue. Plenty of restrooms, easy coat check (takes card), and friendly staff

The venue is cool but the bathroom is was small for how many people they allow in. The womens bathroom is always overflowing. Food was actually decent and while drinks are super small they tasted good. $3 Jell-O shots too.

Went to see George Clinton. The venue was perfect for this show.

Amazing venue the sound bouncing off the walls is incredible

This place rocks! Loads of music for any taste in music. Lots of bartenders so you are not stuck in que for a long time. Not a lot of seating but who sits at a concert?

Ive been in this venue a couple of times already and its always been a good experience. Great sound, intimate setting and great line up.I am knocking down a couple of stars because of the bar inside. Drinks are a bit overpriced and the food are mediocre. Dont expect top notch high quality menu. Were talking tater tots, chicken wings fries. Anything fried. The worst part? It took more than an hour and a half for an order of chicken wings ang tater tots!!I can see if it takes 30 mins for something high quality but its fried food!! We ended up gulping it down at the venue itself so we get us a good spot.They have got to get their kitchen staff on track. My friend ended up having to wait for 2 hours because when she went to get her order, someone supposedly picked it up already!! She didnt even get compd for it!Will i go back to Showbox? Heck yeah if my fave artist is playing.Will i order food? HELL NO!!

What a phenomenal venue! Came up from Portland to see Atmosphere and was so impressed by the space and all of the great people working the show! I will be going out of my way to see more shows here!

Saw At the Drive In here, crowd and vibe had me feeling like I was back in Austin. Great venue! Very friendly staff

Snow Patrol, whom I went to see, was AMAZING!!! But the venue was repugnant! Cement floors, no seating unless you are a gold or pink member, drunk people blocking the view by repeatedly returning to the bar, and too many tickets were sold for how small the venue was. I will NEVER attend another event there. Hey Showbox, you wanna save your place? At LEAST make your stage 6 feet higher so people dont have to stand on their tiptoes and still miss 1/2 the concert!!!

Great venue! Sound system is great, and the food is really good

Horrible experience never again! Rude service! After spend hundreds of $! Do not recommend! Especially if you’re not white.

Saw Streetlight Manifesto here August 3rd. At the concert the security guards were friendly and professional. All guests age 21+ got a wristband to be allowed near a sectioned off bar area. There was a cheap coat and bag check in near the door which was handy. The sound system was great and the venue felt very intimate with the band. Restrooms were easy to spot with a neon sign and the line for it moved quickly . The great thing is that the venue is small enough to have a great view of the band even from the back of the room. great show, good place.

Went to see a show. Staff working here were courteous. I had a great time.

GA, no seats. Bar area completely separate from floor. Cant take drinks onto the floor. Only one bathroom. Really nice staff that was very efficient getting everyone in. Great bartenders, too.

This is by far the best venue in Seattle. Have been to numerous shows throughout the years and shame on anyone who tries to get rid of this historical amazing building.

Nothing amzing but great spot to watch great shows every genra

Intimate and nice. Saw passenger play here and actually got to meet the guy.

I probably would have loved this venue when I was younger. Im just not into standing, mashed in a crowd, all night anymore. The music was great and the employees were awesome!!

Still prefer the original to this location, pretty sure there was as many rats in the alley as people in the building. Still a great spot to see your favorite group

While the acoustics could be improved upon I cant say I have much to complain about them anyways when I was 5 feet from the stage! Staff are friendly and helpful, they handed out loads of free water bottles to everyone in the pit, I watched security quickly pull a fainting woman out of the crowd and get her to safety, and the atmosphere was all around great! VIP area has great seating, the bar is well stocked and decently priced, and coat check is a handy feature. I love this place and Ill happily see another show here!

Very large space, has a bar. Bathrooms were clean. Went and saw papa roach and had a great time. If going there for a concert I would definitely recommend good standing shoes because the floor is concrete.

The venue and drinks were great. I was especially impressed with the security staff. They were very friendly, kind, and helpful.

This place is special. Not a bad view...great options. The one down side is poor acoustics.

Was a really great venue to see some pretty big international acts. Venue is well organised, clean, had good security and is well layed out. Happy I went here. Only recommendation I have is that is was a little hot when it got full so some ventilation would be great.

Awesome venue for shows! It’s not extremely large, but big enough that it’s not cramped. The bar is elevated above the ground floor so you can get your libation of choice and still see the stage without worry about spilling it. They serve food so if you’re in a rush to see your band, you can do dinner and a show in one place.

Fun venue, just watched Han Solo here. Plenty of room for the amount of tickets sold. Been here multiple times, all have been decent experiences.

First concert at this venue. Small venue, which was awesome. Will definitely reserve a table next time. Great shows, great acoustics. Cant wait for another favorite band to come to SoDo.

My first visit here!! I saw Yelawolf, Wild The Coyote opened...it was a moment I will cherish.The bands were very friendly and had a great rapport with the audience!

Saw Escape the Fate with Falling in Reverse. Very good acoustics. The exit was swift. The refreshments were good

Adults 21+ can enter the venue 2 hours prior start of show. Nice bar area with great view of the stage.After the opening act they passed out water bottles to the audience! I dont know if thats a regular thing, but it was greatly appreciated! There is parking nearby and food within close walking distance should you decide to wait in line early for your show.

A great venue for shows where you dont want to sit down, and with the lounge size, dont expect to.If you do luck out, the table locations arent that bad. Get your butt up and rock.Drinks are as spendy as you already fear...but there is alcohol in them,the pain fades.Go see Nothing More, just sayin.

The Showbox is fabulous! Happy people...awesome tunes...good food ..and its cool inside! Oh ...and theres Pearl Jam fans everywhere....whats not to love?

Fun! It was a really good so lots of fun people great parking easy to access and The bar next door was awesome!

Ive been to this venue dozens of times, and it never disappoints! Great sound, and no matter where you stand theres not a bad spot in the house.

Very spacious a great venue for underrated artists the staff are friendly and the aesthetic is cute

It was pretty good although the size of the place it had bathrooms a bid stage some bars and a food place. This is a good place if you like really like loud music. Overall I would give this a so so (this is a picture of peoples feet but this is just to show how dark it was)

Went here for the first time to go see K.Flay. The venue is nice, with a seated area where you can have dinner and also an open floor for the concert. Good selection of drinks, including a CBD drink which was awesome to see. Easy to get to and we enjoyed the concert here. No complaints. Would definitely go to this venue again!

Great venue, saw AVA and Galantis here and loved it both times. It was quick to get into the venue and they have a separated bar area with reasonably priced drinks. Nice staff and awesome performances.

Nice venue. Plenty of space with decent acoustic. Bar looked nicely stocked with booze and non alcoholic beverages. Bottled stuff wasnt overpriced like other venues. Decent parking (it is what it is in Seattle, sadly).

Went and saw Thrice, great show. The sound was awesome. Good food

There wasnt much for the place but after I went to see a show, man how crazy! Super place of the hour, I regret not having gone before.

Great venue with good sound quality, all ages welcome. Access to washroom is a bit difficult depending on the fencing set up. Very little seating.

Awesome concert experience. No parking

Great venue for shows. Get their early if you want a table. Highly recommend it. Drinks are expensive heads up. $9 for an IPA.

The house Sound Engineer and lighting engineer/technician are terrible. Maybe they are just used to Pop concerts, and do not know how to mix or light a folk rock show, but its more likely they are just amatures and lack the technical training to do the job well.## lighting:There is no reason to light a band in green. (Nobody looks good in green light. Its used in theater to make a sickly or strange mood, but at a folk-rock concert??)Whats more the shame is that the management did not care enough to step in and tell the lighting tech to stop messing with the stage lighting. Elliot Brude (folk rock group) does not need any lighting support. Just turn the front lights on to a decent look and gently mix the warms and cools to the mood of the music. Nothing flashy needed.##Sound:On multiple occasions the sound tech let the mains peek, making the guitar and vocals indistinguishable. Its a mistake no trained engineer would make.## Overall:If the band your going to see is the headliner, doing a well financed tour, they will probably bring their own techs, and everything will be groovy. Otherwise, avoid this place like the plague until they get their tech together

Great place for an intimate concert. It has a bar and few okay tasting food.

Place was in awe for the PAX Borderlands 3 After Party. Well kept and clean, very spacious for the event.Downside was that the front door security didnt care if the metal detector went off. I and a bunch of others watched as he laughed and waved people through, we decided to test this by keeping items in our pockets, as we went through it, it went off and he laughed and waved us ahead giving us our bag he didnt check.

Awesome venue with a great staff. Just went there to see Mayday Parade with Just Friends, Mom Jeans, and State Champs– my goodness what a good time! The crowd was amazing, prices for drinks/merch were understandable, and the staff was very helpful, especially with the crowd surfing. They definitely helped me find my glasses after everything was over! Will definitely be looking forward to more shows here.

Great show venue had a blast like always

I thought that the Showbox would be the perfect venue to take my 16yo nephew to his first concert, and I was right! He had an amazing time, and really got to feel like part of the show! He wants to come back and Ill probably be accompanying him. Parking is a breeze and cheap and hardly any traffic when leaving!

Showbox SoDo is definitely not the best venue for edm concerts. Plus there was a long line and they said they were going at a pretty good pace. I understand its not their fault a ton of people came at the same time but at least delay the artist a bit so everyone can actually see the artist for the money they paid... we ended up waiting about 40 minutes and missed the first half of Yellow Claws set. This is a small and intimate venue thats very flat. Unless youre basically at the front you will be only seeing the back of the person in front of you.

Good venue... Odd drink policies. You can bring beer/wine to the dance floor, but not mixed or NA drinks. Weird.

Omg.. amazing venue. We went there to see tec n9ne. So much fun. I hope the next concert i go to is there.

We encountered some extremely rude staff. Every person we interacted with here was very hostile and made our experience terrible. We loved the artist we saw but the staff ruined the experience. We hope that they will change their culture so we can have a good experience next time.

Is a good place but it should have a ventilation place, because when there are concerts, heat builds up and sweat stays in the roof pipes and begins to fall.

Fun place to see a concert if you want to stand up and move around. It is a bit hard to see if youre short, especially if people around you are holding up cell phones to take videos. Bars have easy access. Theres a cash machine by the front door.

Bass, bass, bass. Amazing sound!

Saw Luke Combs at Showbox tonight. Pretty cool venue it helped Luke rocked it. I was late and show started so and didn’t know how to get to the alcohol which sucked. But be careful if you go to a show here. Have to bring your our common sense cause they obviously don’t cut anyone off the alcohol.

Great atmosphere. Typical dive bar situation, dont go in asking for cocktails. Very spacious. Clean bathrooms. Great set up. Easy to get to, easy to find, surrounded by quality restraunts including an oyster bar. Right on a few bus lines too which is nice.

Great medium sized venue, with a big standing area for the main crowd and also a place to sit off to the side. Bars a plenty, drinks were strong. Nothing noticeably wrong about the acoustics.

Spacey. Perfect for gropuos of people drinking and concerts

The Beartooth and Motionless in White concert I went to here was great! The employees at the venue were nice and helpful as well.

Good line up, but not great layout when all ages, or 18 and up...no reentry for minors, yet too hot, no airflow and lines for everything.It is 5 star when 21 and up!!

The staff was great, and the show was fantastic. Very hot but great. Machine Gun Kelly and TM88 were badass. Going again to Yungblud in september.

All things considered: 5 stars for the Danzig show last night. Folks from pretty much all age groups present People running the metal detectors at entry were hello cool. Stiff drinks, quick service. Bathrooms were decently clean, though not adequately stocked up (toilet paper seat protector time). Staff were quick to remove belligerent motherf*ckers, and clean up expelled bodily fluids.People: Be considerate to the shorter audience members during the headliner. But more importantly, learn how to move through a god damn audience- Look ahead for a path. A light hand on the shoulder will usually queue the person you are trying to get by to shift over so you can get by.The only thing that kinda sucked (but not really) was that by the time we went over to buy shirts, they had none in small. They did have a tour sweatshirt however. (currently wearing) so I was totally chill with that. I wouldve been less excited to only get a Danzig sleep-shirt size.The Dirty Dog hot dog truck was perfect for a middle-of-the-Show meal. The Cook was super chill, asked us who was playing, looked-on with us during some police fiasco as we tried to figure out what kind of drunk-*as scenario was going down.Overall , great night, 5 stars SoDo.

Solid venue. Will call is placed in the perfect location right after the metal detectors. Makes getting into the venue a lot less confusing.

Weak. Boxy boomy sound. Zero love. $40 for a DJ set. One plant pot on the table. Nothings else. Not even a candle.Last time.

I came to the Showbox for my first metal show. It did not disappoint. The venue was everything I expected it to be. I will definitely be back.

Awesome venue... Drinks are outrageous. But the staff was amazing.

Atmosphere (the hip hop group) was amazing!!! Its a great space to see a show!

Great atmosphere.Love standing room ability to get to the front when I want.Staff was aware and made me feel safe

Amazing show, but as far as the venue goes this place is Showbox So So. Sound could be better, getting a beer takes about an hour, one restroom located at the packed bar and security is a joke, my friend needed to get out asap cause it was sweltering so we went to the exit sign and the guy working by the door said tough luck, gotta go through the crowd and out the front door.

Killer small venue...prices are usually very good for even bigger headlining shows ;-)

Ive seen a few shows here now. Showbox SoDo is a great venue. The acoustics are good for rock concerts. The venue also always feels safe.

Went and saw the dead Deads, they were absolutely amazing. Great venue. Able to get up and see the band without getting squashed.

Exchanges intimacy for volume. Its good for the size

Fun venue for hearing a band!
