Venue Type: Performance Theater

Columbia City Theater

Once known as the “Lish House”, it was a sonic playground for Jimi Hendrix in the 60’s, an underground disco haven in the 70’s, home to hardcore punk bands in the 80’s, and the most revered underground electronic music venue in Seattle during the 90’s. With a multimedia deluxe transformation in the 21st century, the former “Lish” is now hands-down one of the most beautiful event spaces in the region.

The current Columbia City Theater offers a classic show stage, a full state-of-the-art audio recording studio, a video production facility, a VIP mezzanine, a catwalk and a full bar. We host a variety of events from burlesque, live music and comedy, to private parties and community meetings.

Gorgeous Columbia City Theater

This could be my favorite venue in all of Seattle; it is classic and unique, elegant and beautiful, and has a history no other theater can match. The Columbia City Theater hosts live music, burlesque shows, comedy acts, and private parties; the VIP level is where I would like to hang out and the catwalk is just cool. Anyplace where Jimi Hendrix hung out is fine by me, and The Columbia City Theater holds its own in any arena. Five stars!
