Where to See Concerts in Fremont and Ballard: Nectar Lounge

412 N 36th St, Seattle

📸: Nectar Lounge

Nestled amongst the hubbub of Fremont is the Nectar Lounge, a venue unlike any other nearby. Mostly because its globally-minded programming focuses intently on booking punk, hip-hop, reggae, Americana, and Latin acts. And, boy, do patrons really bust a move on the dancefloor. Nectar says it’s “the largest indoor/outdoor music venue” in the city thanks to its garage-like exterior walls that connect the showroom with a covered patio (that has fire pits!). There are three full-service bars as well as an upstairs mezzanine with seating that’s low-key romantic depending on who’s playing.
