About Screwdriver Bar
We started in 2018 in the basement of the historic Barnes Building, right in the heart of Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. This space used to be a recording studio and rehearsal spot for famous grunge bands like Nirvana in the late 1980s and early 1990s. After sitting empty for years, we reopened in 2016, keeping its original charm and history.
Since then, Screwdriver Bar has welcomed musicians from all over the world, from Grammy winners to brand-new performers. We’re proud to be part of Seattle’s music scene and offer a safe, welcoming space for both artists and guests.
By visiting us, you help keep live music alive and support small businesses and community events. Whether you’re here for a show or planning a special event, we invite you to be part of our history!
