Went to see hot freaks at barboza! i lined up an hour early and got to be near the front (my view is shown from the video). got to purchase merchandise, then wait up front for the shows to start. loved being up close with the artists, room for lots of audience interactions! jul!et and dante elephante opened for hot freaks. water jug + cups provided at the back. there was a 21+ section near the back. when entering, there was a bag check and a wand wave. when the show ended, the artists came out to interact with the crowd. i got to get my headphones signed by hot freaks and have a photo with them! after around 10 minutes after the show, security started ushering people out as the musicians also have to pack up and leave. i also took photos/videos with my digicam. just dont use flash! i came alone and had a blast! :)

This is a cute little venue for intimate seating. There’s actually no seats but that makes this place personal recently. I saw a concert at lumen field and I really couldn’t enjoy the music because I couldn’t really hear it here I could hear the music and it was awesome. The staff is super friendly, they open the doors early and you can get drinks and food before you actually go to listen to the music but make sure you don’t order too much because you can’t take it downstairs to your event there’s street parking so make sure you allow yourself time for that I will definitely be going back to this venue because of the intimacy but beware there are no seats to sit down.

We went to an event here tonight, and everyone was absolutely wonderful. Each person was so kind and welcoming. There wasnt a single person there tonight that wasnt absolutely killing it with their customer service skills. They truly made my night.

Great experience. Wish they had a coat check with security, but other than that the place has great vibes. The venue was intimate and they had fans running and a large cooler of water and 8oz cups. Makes standing in excited crowed a lot more comfortable. Bathrooms were nice and clean.

An incredible venue for good vibes all around. Think of Madam Lous but OG, narrower, and smaller. Got to see my first show here a few months ago and it quickly turned into one of my all time faves.If you have a show that piques your interest, I do recommend checking it out!

Was rejected by this bar for asking for the entry stamp to be put on my left wrist instead of my right, as I have a new tattoo there and didnt want to risk infection. The guy at the door was extremely hostile and just asked me to leave rather than listening. Surprised the place wanted to turn away business when there were only a few people inside. Lots of other fantastic bars in this area I wouldnt waste time in a place that acts like this.

It’s 2024, and yet, we still hear stories of bouncers and doormen discriminating against people based on their race. This is not just unacceptable also it’s illegal. This location has bouncers and doormen who are not just racist but also abuse their power to harass and intimidate minorities. Such behavior creates an unsafe and hostile environment for everyone. Ive been called slurs and worse from these bouncers. I really dont know how they still have jobs here or at all.

I want to share an unfortunate experience I had at Barboza recently. Despite being 21+, I was denied entry solely because of my ethnicity. The staff not only refused to let me in but also hurled racial slurs and taunted me. Meanwhile, my friends, who are also 21+, were allowed in without any issues. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and should not be tolerated. The bouncers should be fired immediately.

Didnt even know this venue existed till I went to see Elise Trouw, what a rad little spot! Oh did I mention its underground? Two short flights of stairs into the belly of Seattle and you are in. They have a full bar bathroom etc it is a tiny venue but very cool

Its interesting, having it all ages with the 21+ stuck in the back. No idea if thats an all the time thing but for the show I was at, thats how it was.Id go again but Id be annoyed with the 21+ section creamed in the back with limited seating.

Review №11

I got rejected because I was carrying an empty can of beer to throw in the trash/recycling. Both the guys at the front were very rude and were saying that I was drinking outside the bar and then open container policy. They were indecisive on why they were rejecting even when I was trying to tell them that it was going in the trash and it was empty. I can’t see my favorite band until another year because of bouncers arrogance and my stupid mistake of trying to do the right thing not to litter.Edit:Based on reading other reviews, it looks like the whole management and bouncers there are racist. They selectively reject minorities. Horrible. Never coming to this place again or Neumos.

Me and my two siblings came here around 11pm on a Friday and had such a fun time. There was no cover at the entrance and the drinks were strong. Djs played a lot of good dance songs and within minutes of us getting in the dance floor was crowded. This is the place to go if you want to let loose and have a good time. They even let people dance on the stage by the dj which was fun.By far one of the best nights Ive had in Seattle.

A hidden gem of a dive bar located below Neumos in Seattle on Capital Hill. This is a great place to grab a drink & catch a show... you can literally smell the hard work of sweat from the emerging & upcoming artists that play here & those that come to rock out to them!!

Wow. The most mediocre DJs I have ever seen on a weekend. We just moved into the neighborhood and it’s the local joke of the angry, disgruntled DJs at Barboza. I get why they have to do drink specials. Place is not what it used to be.

Barboza is an awesome experience. With the low ceiling and long room, the sound is off the hook. Ive seen some big voices there, The Gods Themselves, Jamila Woods, and Vagabon. The setup fills the room and you can feel it through to your bones. The drinks are drinks, but the music makes it all worth it.

Bar staff was rude and the drunk people on the stairs blocking your path when youre trying to leave is unnerving. Was too hot to even enjoy the concert. Needs better ac! Bathroom was decent but the outdated booths need a serious upgrade. Not plus size or handicap friendly place. However would go even to Hell to see LOUYAH perform again! He was fantastic!

The security staff is quite racist. cute venue, but the way I was treated was genuinely the worst experience I’ve had in a club. I was physically intimidated and one of the bouncers called me a slur I will not type out because I don’t want this review taken down. Don’t support this place 💀

Review №24

Terrible security. Specifically a bouncer who was manning the door Friday may 12th 11:55pm night. I noticed a very similar review by a person named D W. below. Went out with a group of at least a dozen friends. My girlfriend took a second too long to get her ID out and the bouncer said we were taking too long despite there being maybe 5 people total in the line and made us go to the back of the line. We complied and went to the back of the very short line just to reach the front again (with our ids out ready to go). He was selectively picking people out of the line in a discriminatory manner and never let one of my friends into the bar because he was too drunk since he took too long to get his ID the first time. Truthfully, he was our DD that night so I dont understand. We tried to ask the bouncer what it was that was leading him to think such an absurd thing but then other bouncers physically moved us in an aggressive manner for arguing with them.Not sure why there needs to be such hostile behavior when we were just a group of friends trying to have fun. Id always been there in the past and said this was a great spot for a night out, but not anymore. I wont be going back here nor will our friends because of the discrimination and power trip the bouncer seems to enjoy. Will come back once I see this bouncer gone for good!

Review №25

Great music! But the way I was treated tonight by the bartender with the ponytail felt very uncomfortable. I havent seen such obvious discrimination/prejudice since I moved here. He served everyone around me, going out of his way to not ask for my order. I wouldnt think of it so much, but I was the ONLY African American trying to get a drink. When I finally asked Can I buy drink? After 30 minutes of waiting at the bar, he told me You talking so much will.make me get to you last. He proceeded then to serve everyone else but myself even more. I stayed calm, respectful and orderly. When I told the security guard near the bar, he actually said You cant turn me against him, so please dont try. I was honestly letting him know I needed to go to a different bartender because I was not being treated well.It was so upsetting because this was my first time going out in over a year, and to be treated with the level of prejudice I received, it makes me HAVE to make this review.

The atmosphere was really nice. Cool plush seating in the back, small venue (get close!), and a good sound system. I enjoyed the show I saw here and will make a point of coming back.Finding the entrance was a little tricky, as its underground. Look around for some signs pointing you down the right hallway.

Review №40

Barboza is a good venue for smaller shows, but a lot of the way they manage their space is questionable. Notably, keeping merch tables in the 21+ bar area. If you are a minor wanting to attend a show here, I recommend that you do not as you are kept in the back of the room and not allowed near the stage (since the stage is near the bar). It is a good space for those over 21.

Review №41

Ticket pricing for this venue is affordable. The venue itself is dark and very intimate. Its a nice place to see an artist you enjoy since you are able to get very close to the stage. I was able to see Allan Raymond and shy girls here! And both concerts were awesome

Review №43

They will ID you and check your ticket before you enter the venue so once you are in the venue you dont have to worry about pulling out your ID every time you want to buy a drink. The venue is very small and narrow but allows for an intimate experience with the performing artist. There are also a few places to sit in the back. The bar is a little expensive but has quality and friendly bartenders.

Review №44

Excellent venue! My reason for 4 stars is that its downstairs and there is no elevator. This fact was not made clear when I purchased tickets, so my husband, who uses a wheelchair, and I showed up and were quite surprised. The staff were so nice and accommodating, helped us get down the stairs (and up again) and we had a wonderful time. There is a bar and restrooms downstairs, so once youre there you dont have to leave and go stand in line somewhere else. I just wish we had known it wasnt wheelchair accessible.

Review №48

It is a small space so Id recommend bringing some protective earbuds as the music can be sharp and painful and they are often out of earbuds.They get some decent smaller acts here, but being a smaller venue and bar, it tends to bring in a drunk and disinterested crowd. But as long as youre there for the performer and not the place, youll be entertained.

Review №49

My boyfriend, designated diver and I were denied entry to Barboza for the Magic Sword concert because we were dressed in Santa gear. We paid over $100 for tickets in to see this concert for a band that’s from our home town and had gone to only one bar beforehand to hangout until the venue opened. We were denied entry solely for wearing festive Christmas outfits even though we were not intoxicated. You can’t expect a venue in bar central of Seattle to not have customers who have gone other places before their venue. Their website didn’t specify that they would deny entry to those wear Christmas outfits so theyre essentially stealing our money without just cause or immediate refund. Will absolutely not plan on returning to or suggesting anyone to go to this bar.

Review №50

This place used to be the best and the staff at the front used to be really accommodating and care about their customers. I literally would hug the bouncers because they were great people. Now they seem to not care at all. Im talking specifically about the bouncer at the entrance outside of the box office. Been going here and Neumos for over a decade and its simply changed. Showed him my stamp and everything to be a good citizen and he copped an attitude for no reason. Im sorry but Im not coming back and Im very sad about that. Care about your customers and they will always come back.

Review №51

I went here on a Saturday and it was free for ladies until 11pm. The venue was in the basement and kind of small. There was only one bathroom for ladies, and it was gross and had no mirror. The DJ was okay, but only played a song you could actually dance to every 5th song. Not to mention he was attempting to sing/rap along to the music which wasnt appealing.

Review №52

Pretty nice venue. Saw Ages and Ages here. Sound at the start of their set was all over the place (but apparently it was their own sound guy at the mixing board) but they got it fixed. Very intimate space too. Otherwise theyve switched to plastic pint glasses for draft beer at the bar - theyre pretty clearly no longer actual pints. Which is too bad, because they had Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA on tap (one of my favorites). At least we didnt have to wait in line to get in.

Small cozy or cramped space...first show I attended there mallrat, allday, & Japanese wallpaper. They were all great but there were times I could hear people behind me or maybe from the bar area chattering and that was super annoying. Made me think of another Seattle venue where half or more of the clientele were just regulars that didnt care at all about who was on the stage...I dont know if they were regulars or just hipster douchebags that were there to be there and opposed to there to enjoy the performers and not LOUDLY chattle over them or they their best to be louder than.

It is not w/c accessible, but the people at the door are very helpful.

I like Barboza,it feels like a little secret (though it’s totally not). For such a small space it really is a great place for music. The shows feel both intimate and crisp, something that’s easy to not even know you’re missing. It’s also got cool vintage-y booths that are great for groups but at shows they fill up fast!

Hello, I had a great time until the DJ kicked us out. Here are the absolute facts. We have never been rougty. We have never been loud. We have always tipped our servers well. At the end of the day Barboza hires last minute DJs who are offenddended by women who do not conform to societies standards. Every time we try to just dance as solo women we get kicked out. We have had the same DJ. Every time we get kicked out. Not sure of her name but she only supports tunes that help guys get what they want (if you know what I mean) I would be more inclined to attend again if it was a DJ who supported gender equality. (Date attended: night of 1/18 before 2:00 AM)

Review №87

I am disgusted after a recent experience my friends and family had at this place on the 22nd of May. The experience specifically envolved the gard at the door. A group of friends went to this bar and the bouncer targeted one of the foreign members of our group who were trying to enter the establishment. My friend was accused of having a fake license (it was a foreign id but not fake). The id he presented was a forign id and i understand that these are harder to read. However, When it was explained that his license was in fact real the bouncer pushed and threatened to break my friends face and his ID. Only when my friend and the group said they would call the police was his id returned. When that happened the manager of security appeared and apologized on behalf of the bouncer. This is not something that should happen and i am extremely embarrassed that family who are visiting Seattle would suffer an experience like this. This is not acceptable.
