Where to See Concerts in Fremont and Ballard: High Dive

513 N 36th St, Seattle

📸: High Dive

Kitty corner to Fremont’s famed Lenin statue is the High Dive, a gritty venue you’ve likely spotted from the street thanks to its giant marquee of a woman diving right off the side of the building. Talk about synergy! A sister venue to Nectar Lounge just down the road, the High Dive has a decidedly grungy vibe, its long bar stops just before a giant dancefloor and stage. Since the venue opens its doors seven days a week, the events at the venue reflect a wide range of interests—you can catch a performance by any number of adored Seattle bands, an ’80s dance night, or an emo karaoke party. The High Dive is your oyster.
