In the 20th century, Seattle was a hotbed of jazz, with greats like Ernestine Arnold, Ray Charles, and Dave Lewis tracing their lineage to the Emerald City. Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley reflects that rich legacy of jazz in the Pacific Northwest with their 350-seat concert venue downtown. First opened in 1980 in the University District, the Jazz Alley relocated to its current location six years later and has hosted the likes of Eartha Kitt, Dave Brubeck, and Sergio Mendes. There’s hardly a bad view in the house that has a mix of mezzanine, ground floor, and bar seating—plus food service.
