Since the early ’90s, The Crocodile has been ground zero for Seattle’s grunge history. At their original location on 2nd Avenue in Belltown, Seattle greats like Nirvana, Mudhoney, and Soundgarden rocked for raucous crowds at the Croc. But in November 2020, the venue decided to move a few blocks over to 1st Avenue and Wall Street to take over the old Sailors’ Union of the Pacific Lodge. Now they have three stages—The Crocodile main stage, a smaller venue called Madame Lou’s downstairs, and the Here-After, a sit-down comedy theater. The Crocodile regularly hosts rock-forward heavyweights like Portugal.The Man as well as burgeoning indie acts and fun dance parties. And for those craving a ’round-the-clock rock and roll experience, you can check out a room at The Hotel Crocodile which is right on top of the venue.
