 | |  |  | Downtown Seattle: The Doctor rocks Dimitriou's.... such a night..... | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Of all the jazz clubs in the world I have had the pleasure to enjoy, Dimitriou's is easily in the top 10, & may be my fave. Over the years I've had the privilege of hearing everyone from Stanley Turretine, Toots Thieleman, etc here: certainly some of the best live music I've ever heard in my life.
Excellent sound, lights, sightlines, staff, and world class music.
(photo top-left) - A foto of my man Dr. John (da' night Tripper) performing a killer set of New Orleans fonk the night of Tuesday 3/15/05 at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley.
A special night, the Doctor and his band were returning to the road refreshed from a week off, and on opening night Tuesday 7:30 show he burned the house down.
The new band (Lower 911) fits like a glove, and it is a tragedy this particular show was not recorded. Two nonstop high-energy hours of the Doctor at his best. I was one of the lucky 200 or so to be there & experience it.
Anyway, the Doctor ravings aside, give this club a look. It is a world class jazz venue, with owners and staff dedicated to providing the best jazz nightclub experience.
Casual come-as-u-feel jazz club attire. Very laid back.
music & ambience is some of the best on the planet, and they serve food.

| | | | Downtown Seattle: A good local watering hole & pub | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
For years we've worked downtown a few streets NE of the Westin, and Von's is the perfect after-work watering hole saloon & cafe for good drinks and comfort food.
Feels like a very "local business crowd" saloon with not many if any tourists (except us).
Along with the typical Pacific NorthWest microbrews they specialize in making good old-fashioned icy cocktails like martinis & manhattans, with refrigerated brand/call drinks and tubing on the back bar piped directly to the bar guns. Good, well-made quality cocktails, especially (my opinion) the ice-cold martinis.
The roasted meats & burgers, etc. are the norm, I also like the chowder. You can sit at the bar, in the wood & brass saloon or outside on the Pine St. terrace.
Bottom line: been going here for years, I still like the vibe, food & drinks, conversation, not so much a "nightlife" spot, just a really good place to chill after work.
Casual, it's a downtown pub. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: 619 Pine StPhone: (206) 621-8667Directions: Downtown 6th & Pine, attached to the Roosevelt Hotel.Website: http://www.roosevelthotel.com/dining.htm

| | | | Downtown Seattle: Good music & food in an Excellent Venue | Tip Rating: | | | | |
This place has it all. Good live music, great food, in a really interesting and enjoyable venue.
The food is delicious, as Triple Door is owned and run by the people who created Wild Ginger - one of the best places in Seattle to eat.
Excellent Happy Hour w/good snacks starts @ 4:30pm.
Always something different happening musically (check the web site calendar) in everything from jazz, blues, eclectic, pop, they seem to try everything, with some "name" artists occasionally sprinkled in.
They have a second, more casual room with jazz on Mondays called the "musicquarium."
It is all housed in a really interesting and restored building (Mann Building) in what was the old Embassy Theatre that is worth checking out.
I always hit the Triple Door website before going to Seattle, and even if the band is not my cup of tea, the food and drinks are really good.
Tasteful casual club / restaurant. Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubAddress: 216 Union Street - Seattle 98101Phone: (2 0 6) 8 3 8-4 3 3 3Directions: At Second & Union Downtown.
