Kraken Bar

Bars & pubs birthdaytouring bandcommunity

Seattle's beloved punk rock dive bar with live music, vintage pinball machines, comfort food, and an unapologetically bold atmosphere. Relocated from University Way to Roosevelt Way in the former Cafe Racer space.

Historic note: Founded 2011 on University Way ('The Ave') in the U-District. Closed in March 2023 after more than a decade. After a successful GoFundMe campaign and months of construction, reopened in April 2024 at 5828 Roosevelt Way NE in the former Cafe Racer space (itself a legendary Seattle venue). The pirate-themed punk rock bar maintains its identity as a community hub for metalheads, misfits, and music lovers.
