On nights with no show, the venue will still have two bar areas for you to choose from. Ecklund’s plan is to have shows booked Thursday-Sunday. Portland punk band Dead Moon will be officially christening the new Chop Suey stage with a sold out show Friday night. Rettig said she’s looking into having a food truck parked outside for late night snacks. Like the Chop Suey before it, food won’t be part of the recipe inside the new club. With a revamped stage, green room, bathrooms, and a brand new sound system, Ecklund told CHS she hopes to attract some larger national acts interested in playing a more intimate club. Longtime Seattle talent booker Jodi Ecklund is staying on to continue the Chop’s tradition of hosting an eclectic mix of shows. Inside, the industrial-themed lounge is decked out with a new second stage, old boat anchors, and a bar made from railroad tracks (USB power outlets included).ĭespite the changes in appearance, the new owners say they plan to keep things relatively consistent in the music department.

With the windows uncovered, the 14th and Madison block is now noticeably livelier. The Madison-facing room had basically become a storage space under the previous ownership. “The Den” is one of the most striking changes from both inside and outside the venue. The wooden stage pagoda is out, giving the new stage a more wide-open, commanding presence.Īlong with co-owner Brian Houck, the trio added a “living room” space with couches, as well as a handful of pinball games and a fresh collection of art on the walls. While the Chop Suey name remains ( to the dismay of some), the new owners have ditched the Asian-inspired decor in favor of a spruced up rock lounge vibe.
