Sad it's not in its original historic spot, but it's really nice and open. The acoustics were good and it still has the small venue feel to it. Maybe better fans for the hot shows like Prof. It was still great though.

What a cool venue. I love that there are three stages/venues in one building. Madame Lou's downstairs is especially fun. Be aware drinks are pricey!

genuinely a cool venue but advertising a show as all-ages and then corralling all under 21 (and guests who are accompanying them) into a small section that doesn't allow for dancing, movement, or moshing- at a hardcore show- was really misleading and unfortunate. definitely could've been done better as many venues in Seattle don't have this problem. my group of 20-21 year olds couldn't even lean against the metal barrier placed between the (very large) 21+ section because of the drinks placed on it. Under 21s have a small corner section of the stage available to them and it might as well have been a 21 only show. Under 21s paid the same GA price as everyone else and as a group we couldn't stay for the entire 4+ hour scheduled show which was very disappointing. wish they advertised this divide better.

Thursday was my first show at the new venue. I loved it! More space and brand new clean bathrooms! It was hot n steamy in there so dress light!

Questions & Answers

Can you typically buy tickets at the door ?

The Crocodile (Owner) | Aug 12, 2022

Tickets are only available at the door if the show isn't sold out beforehand. We always recommend purchasing in advance.

I have two under 21 tickets and one 21+ ticket. My 21+ friend decided not to go, so I’m taking somebody else who’s under 21. Can I take the person under 21 and use the 21+ ticket for entry?

mar | Aug 11, 2022
NIKKI ROXX | Aug 12, 2022

Yes. The only thing the 21ticket is for is to go in the bar before the show. You still have to have valid ID to get in the bar before the show. The other bar inside the venue room you just use your ID

If you ask the staff they will arrange seating for you. The downstairs showroom is a little trickier but they might be able to bring you in through the comedy club entrance. Enjoy your show(s)!!

Yes

Is there VIP seating for any events?

Roger MacPherson | Aug 10, 2022
Jesse Moore | Aug 11, 2022

There is no seating at the Crocodile that I've ever seen. It's festival style. The venue is a big open box with a bar in the back and a raised stage at front. So I don't believe any VIP status ticket would include exclusive seating.

There’s a show I really want to see but I’m under 18, is there a section for people under 18 or is it only for people under 21?

Sam Pozen | Aug 11, 2022
Rose Taylor | Aug 12, 2022

I recall security asking if I was there for a show or for the bar. I stated bar so I needed to furnish my ID. I imagine if I was going to see the show I would be shown in another direction. I'd call to verify.

Todd Rowley | Aug 11, 2022
Rick “Rockhound” B | Aug 12, 2022

If you've had it for 3+ years and you're over 21 I presume you can.

When they say a show is at eight, is that the main event, the opening act, or doors? What time should I expect doors to open?

Jimmy Brokaw (Hedgie) | Aug 11, 2022
Todd Davis | Aug 12, 2022

I think it depends on the act but just show up an hour early and have a drink in the bar.

you won't need a new ticket. they just seperate it like that so under 21 people cant go near the bar. shouldnt affect you unless you try to bring alcohol out of the designated area.

What's the maximum attendees for a show ?

Heath Van Cleft | Aug 11, 2022
Alyssa Tavis | Aug 12, 2022

My guess is like 300. It's standing room only so they really pack people in. Google says 560 but I think that counts the areas disconnected from the stage.

The website says standing room only. I have back issues, and standing up for hours won't work for me. Is there anywhere you can sit and still see the stage, like Showbox and Studio 7?

Jamie Hankins | Aug 11, 2022
Andrew Brodie | Aug 12, 2022

There is one bench along the wall, if you get there early you could probably claim it - other than that, no, not really, sorry man

Is this a 21 and over place?

Loy Shaw | Aug 11, 2022
Dead Name | Aug 12, 2022

There's an upstairs spot for 18+ folks to attend shows. Not sure what an 18-20 year old person with mobility issues would do though

How old do you need for standup?
