Black Cat

Open

Northwest Washington, Washington

"something in you needs to get roughed up a little"
"bands don't perform here so much as they detonate"
Seats available at the sides if you need a breather

You don't go to Black Cat for comfort. You go because something in you needs to get roughed up a little: ears rattled, ribs shaken, soul dragged across a beer-sticky floor and told to wake the hell up. It's a box built for noise, the kind that doesn't ask permission, where bands detonate and the guitars try to claw their way out of the building and take you with them.
