Renowned for our unique 2-level interior space, private booth-seating, covered outdoor patio, and three full bars, Nectar's atmosphere is ideal for the diverse range of artists we host here. Boasting the best in hip-hop, indie rock, reggae, dance, folk, electronic, funk, soul, punk and beyond, Nectar invites you to experience music in one of the Northwest's premier performance spaces.

The Scene
While DJs and house are on the schedule, the music leans toward well-known bands playing world music, free jazz, trip-hop and funk. The sound is loud and clear, and the spacious stage can accommodate larger acts. In the warmer weather, the two huge garage doors roll up and the party (and the smokers) pour out into the front courtyard.

The Draw
On Friday and Saturdays, the crowd of 20- and 30-somethings may come for the live music, but bands are often simply background sound for the see-and-be-seen set. A balcony offers a pool table and quieter seating for those who want to take a break and eat. The simple bar menu features some real winners, including the oven-roasted sandwiches and the thin-crust pizzas with toppings like Gorgonzola, pine nuts and rosemary.
