Tacoma Comedy Club

Just south of Seattle lies the Tacoma Comedy Club, with its cabaret style setup you can enjoy comedy shows sitting at small tables for 4-6 people. Food and beverages can be ordered on the spot such as nachos, fries, burgers and salads. Eat quickly though, because the jokes will be flying around the room and laughter is terrible at keeping food in your mouth. Their website features a calendar with all upcoming shows, but some big names such as Christopher Titus and Ivan Pecel have already been trodding the stage.

Bars & Nightlife

Seattle has no shortage of local bars and nightclubs that are sure to make any visitor feel like a real native. Blues clubs, British bars, Irish pubs, lounges, dive bars and college bars are just a few of the varieties you will find. Just as Seattle's food scene relishes using local products, their bars show local pride with most having at least a couple of regional and local beers on tap. The city was early to the craft cocktail craze, in which hand-mixed cocktails with fresh juices and garnishes push your typical margarita mix. During the 1980s and early 1990s, a collection of bands from Seattle cultivated a distinct sound commonly known as grunge. A mixture of hard rock, punk and metal, the so-called “Seattle sound” helped foster the contemporary rock movement. Several top grunge bands call Seattle home including Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains.
