Without any greeting, alert or warning, a blonde man with ex-convict tattoos on his face snatched a drink from me that I was having in line. Later, a fat ginger man, came out aggressively at me in line when I was complaining about the mistreatment explained above. This is not the way to receive clients. I will not return to this place nor do I recommend it.

Security guide was unreasonably rude

the music was so bad. i requested party in the usa 5 times and the dj still didnt play it. he continued playing the worst edm known to man, and didnt play white girl beats. you can dance there but thats it.

The DJ did not play good music and also refused to play good music when prompted. If the DJ played a song that was of any dancing quality the club would have been great but instead he decided that sandbagging the entire vibe was the right decision.

The only redeeming quality about this place is that there were other Swiftyyyys there on Swift fest night. Staff was rude, building is old and ugly, and drinks are over priced. They refused to let my friend in because she had an empty can with her that she was trying to find a trashcan for. They literally would not let her in, saying that she tried to bring it into the building. When she literally wasn't. She was trying to find a trashcan. They wouldn't let her toss it. (She was not trying nor did she want to bring it inside!!) Security was just a bunch of overweight men who were on a power trip. (Not to mention we stood there for a couple of minutes while they just scrolled on their phones, completely ignoring the line when it was still extremely empty inside) Totally ruined my friend's birthday night. (my guess is that the overweight security either can’t get laid or is still upset that he never made it into the police academy) If you can avoid this place, please do so. There are other places in Seattle that have Taylor Swift themed nights.

Very fun and welcoming environment. Went for an event, and there's multiple rooms for you to go to depending on the vibe you want, including a dance floor! There's also a hot dog vendor right outside in case you get hungry, and he's there very late.

Amazing, friendly staff. Inviting atmosphere . I really think the space is spaced out pretty well with the stage and the bar having great focus. And the decor Is funky and weird in the best kind of way. Really adds to the fun vibe. And pricing is pretty decent.

This place is a blast. Saturday night DJ is terrific. Drinks are strong and service is quick. Love it.

I went with my best friends last Friday for Candi Pop and the music sucked. This was my first time clubbing in Seattle and this club cemented why I don't go clubbing in the area. I understand that it was Girl Pop night, but why was the DJ playing A Thousand Years? Like who gets down to that song at the club? It was just such a strange mix of music and the transitions were terrible, there was no matching of beats or vibes between one song and the next. I also was expecting them to play more 2000s or 2010s pop like Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus or Run Away With Me by Carly Rae Jepson. Instead, we were getting songs like Flowers and Greedy that came out in the last year. I loved the girls giving out free cotton candy and balloons, I think that made for a pretty awesome vibe. And the decorations and ambience was top tier. Mindy, the bartender was super sweet and helped me find mocktails that I would love because I was the designated driver for the night. Honestly, this is the second time I've ever paid cover to get into a club, and it wasn't worth it. I've gotten into clubs with incredible music and free drinks at no cost, so I don't think this experience measured up at all.

Overall, Fun, inclusive, vibrant club. Security was ON TOP OF IT at all times, even helping us navigate out of the crowd when we wanted to exit the dance floor but were stuck by an aloof group. Bar tenders were quick, experienced, and friendly. Couldn't have had a better birthday club night out. The Candi Pop night was lovely, DJ absolutely slayed, and the eclectic/queer and diverse group made it a welcoming and fun environment.Negatives: The bathrooms were very bad. It's typical of other establishments. Could use more fans for dancers as only one was positioned stage right and a packed venue became very hot. Also, the fog machines were positioned where they blew at an angle over the crowd instead of up, and without much airflow it was harder to breath (even if it was beautful and fun to experience the fog/strobe). I wouldn't personally say the club is very accessible in it's walkways/dance floor or bathrooms but that could be attributed to the packed night itself and not a reflection of the club in other circumstances or events.

Reeeeally cool venue! Awesome layout!

I worked there didn't go inside but it looks fun and there's always a hot dog vendor outside the front door when I was working mates

confirming other reviews that the bouncers are on a power trip and will ruin ur experience.

Excellent atmos for dancing and vibing. Great bartenders and plenty of space to sit and chat or groove.
