In the age of Pandora, Spotify, and other on-demand music stations, crafting a perfect music mix for a restaurant or bar is becoming a lost art. Given some of the music I’ve heard in such establishments, this is probably for the better. Live-music venues, on the other hand, remain relatively inviolate. While Seattle boasts a number of fine spots to hear live music, none combine a truly eclectic mix of performers (bluegrass, funk, jazz, hip-hop, soul) with as sexy a space as The Triple Door. Access to Wild Ginger’s menu and wine list provides the opportunity to combine dinner and a show, while the cocktail list is affordable and creative. There’s no telling what you might see if you walk in on a random Tuesday evening, but that’s the hallmark of a great venue.
