    Stanton Warriors!
    Peter L.

    Nectar Lounge is a smaller club where some big names drop by, and I love the fact that I can see some great acts in a smaller venue. Right before leaving Seattle, I had a chance to see Ferry Corsten here, and on my most recent outing last week, Stanton Warriors played a set here - these are artists that sell out stadiums and mega clubs, so it was a real treat. There is a smaller lounge upstairs, but I love the main floor. Staff and bartender were cool too, and the bar had a decent selection of taps, as well as tequila and scotch. Plenty of other bars nearby for dinner or pre-funk. A great place to catch a show without dealing without going into downtown!

    A little crowded, but a great place to catch a concert. I suggest reserving a spot upstairs if you're going for a show. Drinks are great and not too over priced.

    Went here for a concert on July 23rd. The place was okay. We reserved a booth upstairs and it was extremely small. They say it fits 4 people but it is so tight!! Me, my sister and our partners were squished into 1 booth thinking it would have much more space to be comfy and enjoy the concert BUT NOPE! I also just want to add that we are all pretty slim fit. We were like 4 peas in a pod.. uncomfortable. On top of that it was extremely HOT! There was no air circulating upstairs! We were sweating so bad I had to step outside to get some air more than 20 times through out the entire concert. Mind you the concert lasted for 6 hours. It was just horrible and wouldn't recommend reserving those booths that " fit 4 people " because THEY DONT! But the concert was amazing overall. That's probably the only good thing about the entire event was the fantastic music!

    Wow, Frank had never been to the Nector before until Allen Stone graced the stage and I'm a believer of this venue. Perfect stage for bands to play an interment show for there fans. Things that impressed me were: * excellent non thug security * great sight lines * outside bar with excellent view of stage. Good for summer shows ***** Only one negative was bar situation was lame. Outside bar didn't have full selection of booze for mix drinks and main floor bar which had all the booze close due to being an all ages show. ***** FRANK give the THUMBS up award for most fabulous venue. I'll be back!

    Flor de toloache was amazing
    Love J.

    It's hip and you can hear the music no matter where you are. 3 stars because it was hot. Almost unbearable. And making your way to the bar requires getting more up close and personal than I cared to get with strangers. Takes a certain type of person to appreciate this atmosphere. Not for me, but I'd recommend it to a hipper crowd

    Did they even buffer the movie?! What the hell? It's supposed to start at 7pm...

    Because you guys are mainly a bar, it's 21 and over for all events,right?

    I've been at Nectar when it had an all ages event this summer. It depends.

    It was a fairly casual and kind of small venue and there was a group performing on stage.

They have a DJ that does a pretty good show here on the days they do ticketed sales, but we really just wanted to eat. The beef sliders were pretty phenomenal.

The fish and chips, while the breading is good, I'm not sure is that great of a dish for this area, which I think is more known for seafood. I would definitely come here for the beef sliders again! The service is pretty good here. The atmosphere is fun and the environment is lively. Just make sure to check before you come, because they may be doing a ticketed event on some evenings.

As someone who actively tries to support local businesses, I could never feel good about spending any money at Pono Ranch given its egregious disregard for the community. Be better. Better citizens, better business people and better human beings.

There's no food so make sure to grab dinner before or afterward at one of the great restaurants in Ballard nearby.

The whole experience was quite awesome. Our facilitator, Tom E. was great at giving us feedback to make us sound better, individually and together. The other musicians in the group were very focused and committed to practicing between sessions and being prepared for the next session. Everyone who represented UMF was super professional and welcoming throughout the initial registration to the final performance. Not only are they getting musicians together to play music, but they're creating an authentic community that I've felt welcomed into since day one! This was exactly what I needed to get my butt out and playing with other musicians and having fun at the same time. Oh, and two words for the guy who wrote a bad review saying the sound in the rehearsal room was too loud: "ear" and "plugs."

As a singer, finding a band was always exceptionally challenging, and eventually life gave way to a husband, kids, and a day job. I found UMF on craigslist when we first moved here, and stalked their website for nearly a year. I was interested in joint a Vagaband series, but my travel schedule is hectic, and makes it difficult to commit to anything- even 3-6 weeks. Just before Christmas, a series opened up that I HAD TO JOIN, and I happened to have the 6 weeks to commit to it. You are plunked into a group of people you have never met. You all have the same goal, and a setlist already assigned. The first rehearsal everyone came prepared, and the first song kind of takes your breath away. You just formed a band (albeit short term). The chemistry in my first Vagaband series was amazing, our show was packed, and I formed real friendships beyond the performance. Instant rock and roll fantasy. I'm now in my second series, and to say this is a business would be a gross inaccuracy. This is a community. I have been welcomed into it warmly, made to feel my talent is validated, and definitely see this community as a family of musicians I couldn't be happier to be a part of. What Tom and Matt created and nurture is so much more than a music lesson.
