The 2 Bit Saloon

The 2 Bit, down by the water in the south end of Ballard, is a pretty reliable place to catch a show.  They have shows most nights of the week (though never on sundays), and a continuing Metal Mondays makes the 2 Bit Saloon a solid destination on Monday nights...

With two separate rooms, the bar is split off from the stage area, and while it's not what you'd call isolated, the bar stools are pretty well populated by regulars even on show nights.  A side door from the stage/show area leads out to a patio for smoking and a gate for bands to load gear in and out.  The show room is fairly small, comfortable, and fills up pretty easily-- for the size of the space, the sound system can easily keep up with volume coming off the stage.

In my opinion, the 2 Bit is a pretty great little bar-- the staff is easy to get along with, the drinks aren't too expensive, and the shows usually run around $5.00.
