Stage Seattle

Was here my first night in Seattle. Was not crowded at all for a Saturday night which is not necessarily a good thing lol.
Crowd was basically three groups celebrating birthdays.
Djs were below average this night. One even lost sound at one point and messed up on his blending techniques.
You can get the vibe that the crowd gets into it no matter what happens lol
Would like to see how it is when the weather is warmer.

There was a lot of hype over the grand opening of stage and it was very «meh». Like another guest mentioned, we were also on the guest-​list that wasn’t moving in the slightest so we hopped into the GA line and ended up paying to get it.
One thing that I found annoying was the lack of places to sit that were NOT Vip booths. The first thing that came to mind was the new owner was definitely trying to maximize their profit because they crammed I don’t even know how many little booths throughout the venue. The one place to sit that wasn’t a booth was a chair next to the bathrooms… Awesome.
The demographic is definitely different than Volume though, more diverse for sure.
The sound system and lights were cool but not cool enough to keep us there for long. We ended up leaving pretty shortly and in all honesty I probably won’t be back unless a friend is djing that night or theres a birthday I feel obligated to go to.

The Music is on point BEST sound system in Seattle!

For being the newest club in Seattle’s nightlife, I was impressed and we’ll taken care of. The staff there to security, cocktails, bartenders and hosts was amazing! The venue is modern and up to date. But most of all, great sounds, led lights and DJs! Fantastic group of crowds!

I was excited that there was going to be a new club opening in Seattle because well… everywhere else gets old after a while. I wasn’t too fond of the location being in sketchy Pioneer Square, but that’s nobody’s fault. I went to their grand opening last Saturday and props for doing a great job to be able to promote this many heads coming out, there was already a long line as soon as doors were open.
It was somewhat complicated because there were a bunch of different lines and a good amount of people in each; there was the VIP line, guest list line, & general admission line. We were on the guest list, but thought there was no way we were going to get in before the cut off time for free cover so we just went to general admission line to pay instead. We were one of the first in that line, but it still took a minute to get in. I’m not exactly sure how the system works, who gets first priority in, but it was rather confusing because all 3 lines just kind of blend in one big clump. My conclusion of why nothing was moving was that the club photographer is running late and they needed a picture for their website to make it seem like there’s a hype. Hahaha.
The old venue that was here before Stage took over was Volume, I was curious at how much of an upgrade was done to this place because I’m not the biggest fan of Volume. There’s little improvements done here and there, the demographic is definitely a bit more civilized, but in my opinion the only major change was that the name of the venue changed. I had a decent night, will look forward to what this new place offers in the future.

For my friend’s going away party he decided to celebrate at the grand opening of Stage! We were all pretty excited to see how they remodeled the old Volume venue. My friend was able to get all 10 of us in the VIP list so we would be able to get in free before 11pm. So we showed up at 9pm thinking that was plenty of time to get in, think again!!! We seriously had only 20 – 30 people in front of us in line at 9 and still didn’t get in before 11. They totally neglected the VIP line, the general admission line was zooming by. The whole point wasn’t just getting in free, we just wanted to get inside to celebrate and have a good time. If we would have known that we would have been happy to just pay and get in sooner and enjoy the night.
Stage left a sour note in my mouth! Will not be coming back.

Tonight Stage Seattle will be opening their doors officially for the public! I got a sneak peak and I’m beyond excited to see how well Stage will do over the years! There are so many aspects this establishment is doing differently than the rest of Seattle nightlife, it’s going to be amazing! Other than just your normal VIP tables, stage also offers a super elite feeling VIP room you can book that has an open window overlooking the main dance floor! Lol I love that! I’ve also heard that they will save your bottles for you! So cool! So instead of trying to down your alcohol before 2am or wasting it, stage will literally close your bottle, and lock it away for you for an allotted period of time :) how thoughtful! And their sound and lighting system… Just wow! You’ll have to check it out for yourselves :) way to go stage team! The venue looks so beautiful!
