Substation Seattle is a venue that can be rented for events, such as fundraisers, and has been reviewed as a great space for such purposes. The visuals, lighting, and overall experience have been praised. The venue has a DIY-esque vibe with a lot of charm, and the stage setup is interesting. Bands enjoy playing here, and the sound guy Chris, bartenders, and other performers contribute to a great experience.
There have been some issues mentioned regarding clarity of event schedules and the size of the space relative to the number of tickets sold. The door open time on the ticket does not correspond to the start time of the first performance, which can lead to confusion. However, the crowd is friendly, and the venue has better-than-average bathrooms and several bars.
Specific complaints about the drink selection include a can of beer priced at $8 and a limited variety available. The service and staff have been inconsistent, with some interactions being confrontational. Still, Substation Seattle offers a solid experience for shows and events, with a niche but welcoming atmosphere.
