bias by M H on 11/28/2007 via Insider Pages
i'm somewhat closed minded when it comes to the night life in areas outside of san francisco, especially when it comes to seattle. \r \r seattle has tons of great places, but i was NOT impressed at all with the showbox. i can only compare…

Showbox has good viewing from most places and 2 bars by Rebecca (Reba) H. on 6/28/2006 via Judy's Book
I'm a big fan of catching shows (I assume the question was for music and not plays) at the Showbox. There is enough space to not feel too crushed by crowds if you don't want to, and I don't, but it's a smaller venue than a big arena so…

Great venue for live music by M G. on 4/16/2006 via Judy's Book
Who hasn't played at the Showbox? This northwest favorite has been packing in the crowds for as long as I can remember to hear just about any band that matters. Famous,infamous, and unknown Showbox invites everyone in for a party every…

Something for everyone by Erica W. on 3/9/2006 via Judy's Book
The Showbox is a good place to see a show because it has space for all types of showgoers - the drinkers, the moshers or dancers, the stand-arounders, etc. I saw The Faint and Bright Eyes here last year, a sold-out show, if I remember…

Great Venue to Catch a National Act by Shane H. on 3/1/2006 via Judy's Book
The Showbox is a quality live music venue with some of the biggest names on the bills.There is a lot to be happy with about the Showbox. It is very open and large, there are multiple bars and the security is USUALLY very helpful and…

Best Acts by Ray A on 11/30/2005 via Insider Pages
For Seattle's music scene, the Showbox is a local must. They have the most popular acts like Ashley Simpson, then the more esoteric acts like the Scandinavian Electronic duo Royksopp. Bright Eyes played here with The Faint. The place is…

Fun, smaller concert environment by Stacy N on 11/29/2005 via Insider Pages
This is a great place to catch up and coming artists. Usually doesn't have really big names, and concerts are usually on week nights. But it is a great place to catch a cheap concert and have a great time. Attached is a small restaurant…

Good place to see a national act by Rob B. on 10/4/2005 via Judy's Book
The showbox will never be as good as the Metro in Chicago, but then again, we aren't in Chicago...and this is about as close as you will get (barring the fact that I haven't been to the new premier yet...anyone have a review on that…

The Showbox: If the Show Fits.... by Jonathan H. on 9/21/2005 via Judy's Book
The Showbox is the middle class stage for Seattle and many large acts pass through on a regular basis. They bring in rock, hip-hop, punk, and various other shows, some of which are obscure even in genre. It has a decent sized floor…

Standard Venue by Michelle V. on 9/21/2005 via Judy's Book
This place has great shows from time to time for an average price. I think I always end up getting what I pay for- visibility is always as issue for me too, but I end up having a great time, for the most part. One complaint is that they…

WOW! by Nick D on 9/6/2005 via Insider Pages
This is the place to see a band, hands down. I've been to maybe 20 concerts here and the place has it all! Many bands that are up and coming will play here on their first tour so it's your chance to catch a future multi-platinum band in…

Good venue, great bands by Brandi H. on 8/20/2005 via Judy's Book
The Showbox is my favorite venue to see shows in Seattle (though I hear good things about the Firehouse). The place is a lot less smoky than El Corozone (or whatever they are calling it these days) and they have some pretty decent bands…

Classy Music Venue Offers Variety by Jeffrey W. on 8/16/2005 via Judy's Book
The Showbox is by far the classiest live music establishment in the Seattle area. It has an elevated bar with seating that provides an excellent view of the stage. The ambiance is that of an Art Deco-era nightclub, but the performances…

concert venue in the range of 800 capacity by J W. on 6/30/2005 via Judy's Book
Since I never go to arena-type huge shows, The Showbox is about the upper limit in terms of crowd size of places I go to see concerts. It's great for bands at the level of Sonic Youth - much better than huge arena shows, although it's not…

i heart the showbox. by Todd B on 5/29/2005 via Insider Pages
some of my favorite seattle memories have been at the showbox. They get honest to god, fantastic bands and comediens. the green room is one of the hippest bars in town.

My Review by Tiffany J on 1/30/2005 via Insider Pages
The Showbox continually books great bands, and is one of my favorite places to see shows in town. They also have a great bar adjoining the venue called the Green Room. I go here to mingle before the show, or I meet up with friends for a…
