The Crocodile

"Came here for the first date of a touring artist from Australia. Was here from sound check through the end of the night. Very impressive staff, they were courteous and professional, even towards the fellow who got tossed out of the venue. Show was sold out but it didn't feel over crowded. Sound and lights were excellent. Food I ordered was really good. Backstage area was spartan but clean and comfortable. Would recommend for a show or as a venue for a touring artist for sure."

"Liked the simplicity of the venue and the sound when we saw Moontricks and Will Evans, however drink prices were high for okay made drinks in plastic and just full of ice.. were not worth it. And feel like the venue was more social hour for people. Most the crowd just talked over the music the whole time."

"Iconic Seattle live music venue that does everything right. From the line to get in to the ID and ticket check to the bar inside, everything is centered on getting you in to see the music as fast and efficiently as possible. Sound is very good too! We’ve seen many different shows here, but this review follows the Rival Schools and Thursday show on February 5, 2024."

"Went to the Crocodile for my friend’s birthday to see Papadosio (Jan 19th). Will Call was straightforward and the women working the booth was very friendly, same with the security and ticket people. My friends and I wait 5mins before entering the venue. I was hungry and wanted to order food, the staff outside the venue was very insightful with informing me on how and where to do that. I went to the bar to place my food order and a couple people told me I need to go the the other side of the bar if i wanted to make any type of order because the bartender only takes orders at one end of the bar. I was thankful for the insight but after waiting 20+minutes I felt that the female bartender working was actually avoiding taking my order. Maybe I am misreading my experience but that’s how I felt. She decided to take everyone’s order even though I was right in front of her and was waiting longer than other people (like others were just walking up and getting served immediately) so I decided to say when you get a sec, I just want to place a food order and she responded with an attitude and her tone of voice we hella annoyed with me. I was respectful nonetheless after she told me she’s going down the bar and will eventually get to me but that wasn’t the case. After no one was left she finally took my order and was still snooty with me. I figured maybe I look like someone she does t like or something but she wasn’t this way with anyone else so ya that kinda sucked. The venue however was pretty sick. The sound quality was great for all three shows that night. I had a great time at Papidosio with my friends. Pro tip don’t go the bar outside the stage area for food and drinks. There was almost no line at the bar next to the stage."

"This is my first time and then a new building I had a good time Soundsystem is great very loud. The lounge area was nice open and spacious. Bathrooms were clean and very accessible. All the personnel that I had dealt with were very friendly."
