What’s now the Screwdriver Bar in Belltown used to be a recording and rehearsal space where the Seattle grunge sound took shape before the world ever heard it. The music is still loud today. #Seattle #Grunge #Nirvana #motherlovebone #loudsociety #docburner #SeattleMusic #SeattleHistory #GrungeHistory #SeattleBars

oh buddy. what a night. thanks to @fontainesband for dj’ing (tom and curley played a perfect screwdriver fitting set) and the band, crew and @arcticmonkeys for coming down and raging and shredding the night away. amazing times. biblical times. hand in glove fit. obviously we’re massive fans of both and was fun to point out all the shit from both bands in the bar like a game of wheres waldo. we swapped screwdriver stories with their rock n roll yarns from their history….plus records, bars, clothes, cities but mostly, a shared love of rock n roll. plus it was massive fun reliving and talking about one of our favorite seattle shows from audience vs stage perspective of that wild 1st monkeys show at the crocodile in 2006 when they were underage. one of the most memorable nights in screw history, the stars certainly aligned and the rock angels and devils were cheering and weeping from above and below. thank you @bangbangmaxwelledison for gifting the boys some deep 45’s theyll never find anywhere and always representing as an official ambassador / liason / party starter. thanks to all who came down. it certainly got a little dusty when screwdriver was declared their favorite rock n roll bar in the world. 😭 special shout out to grian’s crazy sparkly tracksuit that was passed around and end up on jamie in the photo

Here at Screwdriver, we love to travel as much as possible, and we encourage our staff to do the same: live life, see the world, and have as many adventures as possible with as many new friends as possible. Everyone is a tourist, and that’s why we get so much joy and honor from being a tourist destination. Whether it’s the historic grunge recording space history, the wall-to-wall rock ’n’ roll decor, the consistently excellent service, the home-like atmosphere, our wonderful friends and colleagues recommending us, or just being a basement hideaway to get away from it all, it seems everyone visiting Seattle makes a stop down to the rock ’n’ roll utopia. We love the space we occupy in the tourist experience. It’s a privilege and a gift. We are proud of our city and our neighborhood of Belltown, and we are all about the experience of being alive with other people, sharing space and energy, and exchanging music, food, drinks, and things-to-do itineraries. As a tourist destination, we cannot wait to share our unique spot with folks from all over the world for the World Cup, talking about other cultures, ideas, passions, thoughts, experiences, and, mostly, music. In honor of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our city, we wanted to do a new merch drop to be involved and to give folks a takeaway, hopefully cherishing their Seattle experience. This is our third drop in our bootleg series, and it’s one that we are super proud of. Printed by the international Beard of Mystery himself, @koolkeith_97 at @koolpresscustom . Available now through the summer, in person only. #worldcup #belltownseattle #screwdriverbar

For the past few years, @goddamnitnaz held it down upstairs at Vindicktive, charming the pants off the neighborhood with his beautiful essence and his high/low bartending masterclass. He burrowed his way into the Screwdriver family like a wonderful outbreak infestation. Whenever we needed a fill-in or a hand, he always enthusiastically delivered at a moment’s notice. In a lot of ways, he was the best employee not actually employed here. When Naz honorably and respectfully left Wingz, the time was right to consummate the relationship. Brothers and sisters, come one, come all to say hello to the wonderful Alex, who will hold it down Tuesday nights 9–2, starting immediately. Look out for his and @sargentgnarleys ’ Monster pop-up sooner than you think. We are absolutely thrilled and tickled Hpnotiq blue to work with this shredder.
