    We visited Climate Pledge Arena for a Kraken hockey game and had an epic time!…read more Not only is this place wildly cool, but it's also one of the most eco-friendly event arenas ever. We enjoyed walking the entire property before the game. There is a huge Kraken merch store, tons of food options, several VIP lounges, and even during a packed hockey game, there was space in the arena where it didn't feel like sardines packed in. The Pepsi Breakaway deal is the way to go if you see an event where it is offered. For $300, you get 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, 4 Pepsi beverages, and a bag of popcorn. This was a win for our family! Dinner and a hockey game made for a great night while vacationing in Seattle. Even in the nosebleeds, the view was pretty good, and they offer lots of screens to make sure you don't miss a beat. Climate Pledge is high-tech, eco-friendly, clean, orderly, and we couldn't have asked for more during our experience.

    First time attending an event here happened to be for Florence + The Machine so the venue could've…read morebeen a dumpster and I would've loved every minute of it already. Our seats were all the way up in the 217 section, first row which is good since our view was unobstructed, I still wouldn't buy these seats again, not for a show that is really worth seeing up close like Florence, and I don't know if it was the cheap seats or all the seats are the same but the chair itself was small. The acoustics were good, food and drinks were pricey so eat before you go in there, worst pretzel and "cheese sauce" which ended up being Tostitos cheese dip. We had some girls sneak into the section and stand sort of blocking our view but the usher was quick to turn them away. Every usher/employee we encountered was very nice, helpful and polite. I'd love to go back maybe catch a Kraken game but will splurge a little more to get better seats.

    Climate Pledge Arena - Here's Shaq's Big Chicken, up-close.  It tastes and is made just like their restaurants - such as the one in Renton. Washington.  Yummy!

    I am rooting for this movie theater. In its glory days the front windows weren't smashed and the…read morecardboard boxes weren't left in the front entrance with urine stains and needle caps. Even during the homeless days with the Capitol Hill and U District tweens with patchwork jackets and dogs mobbing around in packs this theatre was in good condition. I have over 20 years of memories coming here watching indie movies like Pirana, docuseries to Siff films. I also watched plenty of blockbuster films. My fondest memory is the smell of the popcorn that fills the front space. It is so distinct and the melted butter and grease on my fingers rubbed on my movie ticket is nostalgic. I love the indie vibe of the workers. It was a polite Seattle cool, depending on the era a little emo and punk, with some grunge. The attitude was very U District. I hope this theatre can raise the funds to fix itself up. It is one of my favorites and I hope it doesn't get boarded up. It still has so much life left.

    I looked into other reviews prior to going to the Varsity Theatre but it seemed like people were…read moreeither raving or hating on it. At this point it felt like it's mostly dependent on personal preference so I decided to go in and find out. I thought the place is decent. The biggest attraction is that tickets are probably the cheapest in the area. Regular ticket price is around $16 for Seattle but it's $10 at Varsity (as of December 2023). And you get a dollar off if you're a student. Also you don't even have to buy the student tickets in person because you could just order them online (other places like AMC downtown, you have to go in person). I made sure to bring my student ID in case if they want to check, but it was never checked onsite. I think it's a little more shabby than AMC and other more commercial theaters, but it does its job. The movie started on time and there were no issue throughout the movie. I wish they could just shut off the ads before the screen turns on at starting time because you're facing a blue screen that shows nothing while the ad is blasting. On the other hand, I liked that there aren't that many previews to watch through to get to the actual movie I came to see. The bathroom is two flights up the stairs from the ground floor. It's well kept and smells ok, but they probably have to check the toilet paper inventory more often. By the time I went in, there were no toilet paper left at all so I didn't forget to inform the staff that before leaving. The staff was polite and accepted my remarks in good spirit.
