What an amazing venue. Nicest people work here, drink prices are super reasonable (I would even say cheap), and the sound quality is spectacular. I will absolutely avoid going to Seattle and just come here from now on.

Always a good show or 3 happening here. Have seen big names and small, from Green Jello, or the Melvins, to Dancifer and Mount Saturn. There is something for everyone.

Love this spot for shows, one of the best venues in town. The gyros, Philly cheesesteak and falafel are so tasty. Definitely go get food and see some live music at this local gem

Awesome little venue for a show. It reminds me of Tractor Tavern in Seattle but a little more put together. Good variation of genres playing but I especially love the metal/hardcore bands that roll through. This place is attached to the Racket pinball bar and...Read More

Did not eat while there for a concert. The Shakedown is a near-perfect concert venue. I think it says "88 person capacity" at the door. Nice low stage, excellent bar selection and a great layout overall. But, for me, the highlight was the sound! They...Read More
