If touring talent comes through Seattle, there's a good chance they will come through here. The Showbox has a history of popularity, so is it a great club? Not really. No unique decor. No sense of high-class. This is really a just decent club that has stood out because of Seattle's deficiency in good performing locations. The dance floor is spacious (for Seattle) and there are a few seating areas - which are not comfy. The two large bars and one small bar have mixed talent in bartenders. I recommend coming to The Showbox to check out your favorite touring artists, but not to check out the usual weekly club scene. This location doesn't offer anything notable, except the talent that tours through.
Pros: Spacious Dance Floor, Touring Artists
Cons: Can get VERY hot
