Description

After re-opening last spring, the Crocodile (the "Cafe" part of the name is dead, to signify that this is, in fact, a different venue than the one we knew) is now one of the few venues in the city that boasts a truly eclectic show schedule: performers who've graced the Croc's stage in the near-year it's been open run the gamut from the Blue Scholars to Steve Earle. In the Belltown desert of nasty meat market clubs populated by bros and trashy girls who think ugly Coach bags, fake tans and over-waxed eyebrows are classy, the Crocodile is a welcome music lovers' oasis. While music feeds the soul, you better not count on filling your belly when you hit this legendary venue. There are some decent restaurants just down the block. Go across the street and grab some tapas at Pintox.







  • 2011 | Best Rock Club

    From April 1991 until the bitter end in mid-December 2007, there was nothing like the old Crocodile. So many (hazy) memories over the course of those 17 years: the aural wizardry of Jim Anderson, who made everyone sound good; the occasional Peter Buck sighting (if you were lucky, onstage); seeing former Seahawks quarterback Rick Mirer rockin' flannel at Love Battery shows and pondering whether he had a mosh-pit injury clause in his $15 million contract; more great bands and legendary shows...

  • 2010 | Best Way to Sober Up After & During a Show at the Croc

    The showgoing public has been conditioned, after years of Dick's Specials and squirts of cream cheese on hot wieners, not to set expectations too high for after-show fourth meals. But when the new Croc opened with a Via Tribunali in the back, we were given an unexpected gift: Via Trib's late-night happy hour. From 11 p.m. to close every night, three pizzas are just $5 and Peroni beer is $3. But if you're anticipating a drive home, nothing goes better with a salami pizza than a Caffé... More »

  • 2009 | Best New Old Venue

    When Seattle lost the Crocodile Café, a local institution was lost forever. But the Crocodile's rebirth marked the beginning of a new, improved era for Seattle musicgoers. No, it's not the Crocodile Café anymore, but the new Croc manages to pay homage to the venue's history without getting so nostalgic as to cling to some of the features everyone disliked about the old Croc. No longer shall anyone's vision be obscured by that obnoxious pillar in the middle of the room. No... More »

    I would like to come down there, but, I found out that the Seattle Weekly is a promoter of this. Seattle Weekly is the #1 Promoter of prostitution and sexual slavery on America. Will Seattle Weekly be there selling and recruiting new prostitutes and pimps? Or will this be a safe location where Seattle Weekly's people cannot continue to promote rape.
