Insanely loud. Loud enough that I could hear it from two blocks away and it never stops, even after quiet hours are supposed to start. The city is getting calls after this for sure, and I hope they get their act together.

I really prefer this new location; it has more space, and I had a great time checking out Hyperstrike band and Luminator. Check them out they are amazing!
Great vibes. Dave is a cool cat. Toni yelled at me haha

A Seattle punk rock institution!
We don't drink but always feel welcome! Love how the bar is a little separate from the stage but folks can still see the show. And there's pinball still😍
As a vegetarian, i love being able to order off the menu with no substations. They also have a vegan option and lots of meat options.
Great pinball and love music throughout the week.
If you haven’t hit up The Kraken on Roosevelt in Seattle, you’re missing the most metal spot in town. This place slaps—nonstop heavy riffs, killer live shows, and the rawest energy you’ll find anywhere. Plus, they’ve got badass pinball machines that scream chaos while you crush high scores.
It’s dark, loud, and 100% authentic, with staff who keep the drinks flowing and the vibe intense. Whether you’re here for the music, the games, or just to feel alive, The Kraken is THE place to be. Stay metal, stay rad, and don’t miss it.
