I performed here for the first time last weekend and it was awesome. Great staff, definitely hope to return!
Great venue for live music.
This place has a good vibe. The Tractor theme is consistent throughout and quite fun. Lots to look/marvel at. Acoustics were very good.. The door guy was friendly and most of the bartenders were as well.The lack of seating is a deal breaker for me. (The reason for 3 vs 5)But the beers are reasonably priced. I'd recommend seeing a show there if you don't mind "standing room only."
This venue is small and intimate perfect for those shows where you want to be able to make eye contact with the performers lol they have a bar and a bench seat on the floor. Get there early to claim your spot up close! A couple tables near the bar. Expect to stand and dance. Can get pretty crowded but that's what makes it fun.
Tractor is a special place. They always have great artists coming through. The venue is intimate but not claustrophobic. Beer selection is always solid, and of course right in the heart of Ballard.
A great place to meet friends, have drinks and see great live music!
Tied for my favorite venue along with The Showbox (Market). Tractor has a reliably great lineup of shows and the bar lines move quickly. They recent opened a new bar and bathroom in the venue which helps with capacity.
Up close and personal. One of my favorite downtown Seattle spots. You just might catch the next up and coming Grammy winner there. I saw Cedric Burnside right before the lockdown!?
I've been here a couple times. This is a great small music venue and every place in the tavern has a good vantage point to watch the show. (except if you are short- in which case arrive early to get a good spot) The acoustics are really good and they don't use ticketmaster. Tickets are very reasonable here.
Great intimate venue. Always have an amazing time here and they have friendly staff. One of the only reasons I come to Ballard!
