In Short
With ownership now in the hands of Infinite Productions, the existing rock-, metal- and punk-heavy calendar will continue the tradition of this Eastlake space as home to all things loud and rowdy. The titular tin heart hangs over a cobalt-blue bar where no-nonsense staff serve up cold PBRs and stiff whiskies to thirsty patrons.

If you pay $75 for tickets that say Row 1, and each ticket has a seat number next to the other that indicates they are in the center, how would you feel if you were given four random seats in the back row in the darkest, crappiest corner? Welcome to the world of the scam that is El Corazon! When we tried to take the seats in the front row that matched our tickets, we were threatened by security. Apparently they sold five entire rows of "front row" seats at the $75 price. Nice, eh? Drinks were awful, staff was awful, the place smelled of car exhaust so badly I thought we'd all pass out from the carbon monoxide. Oh, and about our complaint? They said "too bad".

This venue has hosted some epic shows in its various incarnations and continues to have some great acts come through the doors. But the venue itself and particularly the current management are not really up to the task of hosting some of the national acts that they book. The main room is so crammed that you can't leave for a drink or bathroom break with much hope of getting back in, and the bar makes getting a drink a serious investment of your time. I now go only if the act I want to see has a very small following or if I like them so much you'll put up with just about anything.

I had been planning a trip up to Seattle from Portland Oregon to see Carcass. I had bought my ticket in advance and my greyhound ticket, totaling up to about 105.00 dollars. For this amount of money to be spent to see one band, I would expect THEE night of my life. I arrived in town about 5 hours before the show so I decided to buy some beer. Little did I know the Staff at the El Corazon are a bunch of straight edge egotistical Nazi's. When I showed them my ticket, which by the way cost me 50 dollars, I was denied and told, "can't let someone who reeks of booze in.". I explained to them I just took a four hour bus ride up here and I have no where to stay and I have nothing else to do. They didn't care at all and started laughing. All I wanted to do is see Carcass. Is that so much to ask??? In conclusion, All I have to say is, The staff at the El Corazon are THEE biggest @#$%-Heads on the planet. Anyone who is reading this, here is a word of advice... Don't support this place because giving the venue money means the Staff are getting paid, and quite frankly they all need to be fired. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Know Before You Go:
One of the venue's most notable attributes is its relatively balanced blend of all-ages and 21-and-over shows, an endeavor that few other local clubs have been able to accomplish.
