Editorial Review for The Green Room – by Citysearch Staff

The Scene
A sweeping elliptical bar--trimmed with slick, green leather--dominates the main floor, while the subterranean level has plenty of tables and chairs for those who don't feel like standing in bar traffic. The green walls are adorned with a rotating selection of edgy photographs by local talents, and the frosted-glass wall that divides the Green Room from the Showbox is etched with the names of bands that have played the historic venue.

The Draw
The Showbox was already one of Seattle's best venues, and the addition of the Green Room further secured that status. While the club already had a couple of bars inside, this more intimate--and swanky--joint attracts crowds even without help from the scheduled bands.

This was a great place to have a few drinks before the concert. Good sandwiches, drinks and great Bartender...she was very friendly.

Pros: Good bar

Cons: Got too crowded right before the gate opened

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

The bartenders here are some of the nastiest, ego-centric, unskilled rockstar wannabees I have ever come across. If the Showbox even had good shows, I could understand the level of conceit that would come with working at a happening club. But the truth is, the bad shows far outnumber the good ones. Neil Diamond cover bands, hippie jam bands, corporate private parties and Ashlee Simpson--this is what the bartenders are on their high horse about. When you want to go and spend your money and not be made to feel like you have done something wrong, do not go here. Oh, and their security team are angry, fat ex-military losers intent on ruining your evening. This place is terrible. I wish it would close. Going to the Green Room will ruin your evening. Take your money somewhere else.

Pros: Leaving

Cons: Service, Price, Attitude
