The Showbox venue has opened its SoDo branch for several years now and there has long been a straight bar presence in the neighborhood immediately south of Seattle’s professional sports stadium complexes, Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park. It is also a district which is increasingly becoming a hotbed of nightlife.
We know the new location will be at SoDo in the building formerly occupied by Eden Seattle at 1950 1st Avenue South, next to Green Fire Cannabis and in the same block as the large Krispy Kreme bakery and a few blocks from Starbucks. We have reached out to RPlace owner Steve Timmons for a comment, but have yet to hear back. Oh, and did we forget to start with the information that it looks like the new club is the brainchild of former RPlace manager FLOYD LOVELADY? So, does that mean The Comeback is RPlace 2.0? (Don’t tell Lisa Kudrow’s Valerie Cherish… she’s contentious !!!) And, it’s a BIG space, over 9,000 square feet. Locally, we now have something to say… in particular, the news that Seattle is going to have a brand new gay club. years old, mostly watched by people over 60. Image from website.Īugust has traditionally been a slow news month and aside from the ongoing tragic disaster in Afghanistan, the other big news of recent times has been boring endless talks about hosting a game show of nearly 60. Looks like Seattle has a new gay bar… The comeback to SoDo.
