Incredible ... A great club to spend an evening ... finally a night ;-)

Always a great spot for live music. This place always has great bands on Friday and Saturday nights! The staff is friendly, despite being very busy, and the cover charge is not too bad ($10). Definitely recommend if your looking for a chill place and good live music!

All in all, Sea Monster Lounge is a fantastic wine bar...great atmosphere, good service, pleasant prices, and an attractive clientele...what more could you ask for from happy hour? :)

Love this venue. Ive only been a couple times, but man Ive had some great experiences. If you like funky, groovy, or jam dance music, this is the spot to go. On top of that, the house band is killer. Want a place to dance on a Tuesday night? Sea Monster.

Was my first time there..Great live funk music.crowd had a lot of college students from University of Washington. Waitresses/bar maids were kind and helpful and had lots of joyous energy..great place to go to dance..packed and everyone is dancing

Great sound quality in an intimate setting. We like the band that plays on Saturday early evenings. Drinks are good, though some are a little sweet for my taste. The staff are consistently welcoming.

Nice views of the band, not a huge place, excellent band when I was there.

A great place to see some of the finest local music in Seattle.

My friend and his wife booked the place for their 40th and it was a great venue. Awesome jazz band turned into karaoke. We had a great time.

Good music, cool venue, beer is pretty expensive and theres a one dollar charge for card transactions.

Cool little space with a variety of acts. We stopped in late night for a jazz/funk/soul trio that turned into more of a prog-jazz experience complete with layered projections between audience and musicians and songs that went nowhere. Drinks are reasonably priced, lots of space to just hang out, and some of the best people watching in Seattle.

The staff, the musicians and the vibes are always what I need. Thanks for bringing the monster out of the sea. Great place to go solo or with a sexy friend.

The music is so fantastic. I had a fabulous time here. Definitely coming back when Im in town.

Unique vibe with great music. Staff and bartenders were courteous and helpful even with large crowds.

Great venue, good drinks. Live funk jams every Friday night. Always a good time! And you can have dinner at Pams Kitchen, walk over to the Sea Monster and make it a fun night out!!

Fun space with lots of different spots to hang. Live music of all sorts and nice staff. I wish they had food.

Highly suggest if your incognito or like live groovy music

Pretty sweet room, cheap cover for a killer band. Sound wasnt great to start, but they got it dialed in pretty quick. Disappointed that there wasnt a sea monster, but there was a Seattle Seahawks mascot getting down on the dancefloor!

Great live music venue, it must have been a strip-o-rama previously. Anyway I couldnt believe the caliber of music I was seeing with no cover charge on a Wednesday night!

Cool funky place with an intimate setting, time your visit with live music but no food to speak of

I only saw the funk band on a saturday. And it was amazing! They are soooo good. If you like funk and the crazy sound of that piano, youll love them. I believe they are regulars and before that there was a band that played latin american music... it was pretty crowded, but we stayed close to the stage which I feel had a little more space. This place is mainly a bar with live music. My friends got some infused whiskey that they enjoyed.

Sea Monster Lounge is a sweet little spot for live music that often tends to fall in the jazz/funk/jam realm. Live acts typically start on the later side, which is a rarity for Seattle, creating one of the few rooms in the city where its possible to hear live music until 1am. With a smartly-designed, intimate performance space thats just beyond a large, open window to the bar, the venue offers good acoustics and nice views of the band.

Extremely friendly people, I preformed at an open mic they had and the talent there is ridiculously good! No food, but its pretty spacy and Spacey . It was groovy ( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)

Good live music, decent drinks, small place get here early if you want some good seats or if you want a spot in the dancing floor. Overall pretty good. Parking can be tough.

This is a great spot for local live music and a few drinks.

Pleasant enough bar, first time in... drinks were well made by a friendly observant bartender.I did experience minor bullying and verbal assault by the clientele, that were loud, young, and white (entitlement) enough, to get the bouncer (?) - doing a fine job, btw- on their side. Id call them Seattle fake liberal progressives. But whatever, thats on them, not the bar. Chads and Karens? Probably.It left a bad taste in my mouth for several reasons, is my point.I would like to go back and get in on the live tunes. Looks like a good music spot.

The funk band here is legit. Doesnt take forever to get a drink. Cool atmosphere.

Super impressed with the house band. They were outstanding performers. The service by the bartenders was very good and all other staff members were helpful and professional. Ill definitely be going back to Sea Monster on a regular basis. Thank You!

One of the most fun places we’ve ever been. A great atmosphere and some extremely talented jazz artists. Definitely a go to when you’re in Seattle!

The live music was AWESOME and there was no cover charge! They even let me dance while the band was playing. The other folks there were hella friendly! Got to speak with the guitarist after the set.

I love the Seamonster! Best music, people and atmosphere for dancing and all around good times.

Get funky with Funk Night Fridays.

This dive bar has a great ambiance and is quite large inside. Their staff is super nice and they have live bands playing quite often. Pretty good prices on drinks, this place is where a lot of people go to end their nights. Its on the outskirts of Wallingford, so people work towards I5 as the night goes on to get home anyways.

I LOVE this place! Every time Ive played live or gone to shows here, its been amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful - Andrew, the owner is a nice guy too. The food and drink is good as well.

Great venue with great music but bar service took forever

Nice little club right on the main drag. Sounds pretty good. Friendly staff.

What once was a hole in the wall bar about 12 ft wide with free, awesome music spilling out onto the sidewalk of Wallingford every night of the week has now expanded into a cool little jazz, funk, and Latin music club. Awesome drinks, great music (still free Sun-Wed), and a dance floor to make you cut a rug. Seamonster hosts some of Seattles best jazz and funk artists, with weekly residencies and visiting bands thrown into the mix. A great spot to see live music for $10 or less.

This was a great place. The seating was fine for me, and I was on crutches. They have a large variety of beer. The sound system is loud and well-tuned, a perfect combination for live music. My ears didnt ring afterwards. The crowd was super into the music and their vibe was infectious. Id go again any time!

Friday night funk is a blast.Drinks and dancing and a good times had by all.Itll get crowded so get there early to secure whatever spot you want.

This evening, Mambo Cadillac. Great band, great dancing. Started set 20 minutes late. They have some home made infused drinks, smooth. I ordered 4 rounds, great! Lemon, mint vodka. Soul, funk, Latino, all dance music, brings back old school. Fun!

Loved the music Funk night a bit small and in the U-Dub district so lots of youth. Bartenders were really quick and helpful, very fun vibes a bit small but overall great time.

Good live music, got there early and got a good table near the music. The bathrooms were clean. Heres a pic of the view from my table.

First time to Sea Monster and it didnt disappoint. We saw the Barrett Martin Group, good jazz/funk, they pretty much just jammed out the whole time. Cozy venue and the crowd was great. As always, parking on 45th isnt a dream, but it was a Saturday night and we found parking about half a block south. $10 admission, free coat check, ear plugs for $1, and some novel drinks can be made behind the door. Heads up - the worst seat in the house was the table just behind the entrance to the dance floor/stage area - it looks like a good idea at first but youll have everyone standing right in front of you by the time the show starts. Every other seat seemed fine though.

An unassuming little place that routinely hosts world-class musicians. You never what you’ll find here!

Sea Monster Lounge is a good environment, they have really good live music and is not as pricey . I strong sea monster Lounge.

I’ve only been here once and it was a Saturday night when they had live music. There is a cover charge but the music is great and drinks are fairly cheap.The band was a funky type band that really got the crowd going. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, dancing and moving with the music.I’ll be back here again.

Saw a Latin band here and people were dancing throughout the gig.Artwork is nice and i got a psychedelic vibe.Beers are priced okay and this is a good hangout place in the Wallingford area.

We had a wonderful time! Great space, broad drink selection. Bartender was personable, friendly, made great drinks, and was super patient with our group! I will surely be back! Thank you!

That funk band is tight! Musicianship of the players is phenomenal. The music selection is a mix of classic chart toppers, dance grooves, and hip hop all time greats. Ive been a musician for 35 years and so Im not easily impressed. This band killed it.

Great music and a fun place to get on the dance floor. Be sure to check out Funk Fridays :) People of all ages enjoy the music here.

Great music and a nice variety of drinks. The cover does keep increasing over the years and that is what keeps it from a full 5 star rating.

Funky jams, good vibes, slippery fire escape ladder to the roof... all in all. Always have a good time here!

What a funky time! Cool vibe, nice crowd, fab performance.

Great local bands! featured here: King Cumulus a local band from Seattle, Washington.

Ive been here numerous times and the music is always fantastic. Reliably a super enjoyable night out.

I had so much fun here. Great venue and great music.

$10 cover for live music for the whole night-- for both the bands when I went. Very tasty signature cocktails

Amazing talent live music

They serve interesting drinks and great music but I can do without chicks with hairy armpits that smell like frankincense and mrrrh

Great local music venue. Be prepared for wall to wall dancing from the door to the dancefloor.

One of my favorite places to film bands! Here is School of Rock Seattle!

Great music, friendly bartender. Good vibes all around!

I had the pleasure of Friday and Saturday evening there. They bring the FUNK AND VIBE.Music was rocking and crowd was lively.Especially the beautiful mind. Plan to return soon

Nice little spot. Good music. A bit loud for my taste since the space is small and bands can play pretty loud. Weekends are busy here though.

I love this live music scene. Great atmosphere and reasonable prices on beer and mixed drinks. I love thier jam sessions n nights!

I really like Shady for its dicey, den-like vibes. I love its low lighting, I love its wood paneling, I love its weird B movies always playing on the tv.But what I really, really love about Shady is their Old Fashioned.They have a nice pool table thats always rocking and big cozy booths around it, plus a little more seating by the bar. I wish they would update the low couches because its like trying to sit in and stand up from a deep dish pizza, but I digress. Shady is a great local bar with really good drinks. Give it a try!

Great live music.

Great live music, good beer with some rotators, tasty food. Only wish more nights didnt have a small cover.. as it was many years ago. But the new bigger space is great.

Amazing little venue! Will definitely be returning!!

What a great place! Were very fortunate to have such an awesome spot for live music in our city. And the staff is wonderful. Always friendly and efficient.

I fell in love with them, especially live music, with an amazing sound system. They are the best and unique, excellent drinks, spacious and friendly atmosphere.

Best margaritas i have ever had. Smoked jalapeno infused tequila.

They do a great job of getting great music acts. loved it. good sound too.

Always a great time! This remodeled venue has a better layout and more nooks and crannies to see the stage very. Went to see Danny Godinez and they were jamming. He even played While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Sweet @therightersblock

Always enjoy the Seamonster. They have some nice homemade drinks and infused alcohols as well as a good tap selection. The food is also very good and relatively inexpensive. Additional points for happy hour 4-6 everyday!

Saw an incredible funk band here the other day - cool venue! Different genres each day of the week, with a full bar. Came recommended to me and I would definitely recommend it as well.

The bands Ive heard hear are all great performers. The Cuban musicians have so much versatility, and 700 Funk always makes you want to move your body out on the dance floor!

Best place for funk on a Friday night

Great music, sound, stage and great people.

Seamonster Lounge is outstanding! I had always seen it passing by and was determined to go. Then they had their remodeling! And boy did it work out. The inside is much bigger than you would think.We ended up going on Funky Friday/Funk you 2 death. Theres a cover of $10 but its most definitely worth it. They have a live band playing nothing but funk and the occasional hip hop song.

Good ambience. Quite cramped dance arena.

Best place for live music, funky to death and fun. Try the Spanish coffee!

Still has the funky atmosphere, but now its larger, and has a dance floor, which is perfect for their Saturday night salsa music acts!

Clean, fun, GREAT live music daily, and clean bathrooms

Great to see live music! Support live music.

The funky place has awesome music. On weekends, latin & salsa music starts early, then funk ends the night. So fun.

Interesting decor. Great music venue

Great music and drama free!

Not good for wheelchairs but if youre about the band its very fun.

Especially after the remodel, this place is an amazing place to see live music in Seattle. Great drinks and a reasonable cover. Highly recommended, which I dont do lightly.

Straight up great live Funk Jazz in the heart of Wallingford, Seattle. Dont expect much in the way of food or lounge comforts. Thats OK, live music and crowd make up for it. Come here to get your funk on.

The music is always fantastic! Friendly staff also

Just a heads up they dont serve food here anymore. Nice place though.

Fun and funky. Shake you tail feathers

This place has consistently awesome funk music, a fun crowd, and pretty great drinks, including a wide selection of interesting beers on tap. Try their house infusions, like Blackberry Chai Whiskey, on the rocks. The coat check is a nice touch in the winter time. $10 cover on Friday and Saturday nights.

Great sound and fun crowd. Very crowded place.

Depends on the music.But this bar doesnt supply straws but serves drinks in reusable plastic drinkware. Im cool with the no plastic straws movement but Im left wondering if this plastic I sip alcohol from is fully sanitized and if these are BPA-Free?

The weekend brunch is great! Really tasty and creative food (try the sweet potato pancakes and the rose blossom creme brulé). Theres live jazz that was really beautiful

Great spot for funky live music!
