Pool, Bowling, and Food at Garage Billiards on Capitol Hill

by Seattle Guide on May 20, 2009 in Capitol Hill, Community, Downtown

The Broadway district in Capitol Hill is known for it’s eclectic and artistic population of Seattle. Now, it is home to a very hip and happening pool hall and bowling alley, with a full service bar and restaurant to boot. Jill Young – Rosenast and Alex Rosenast converted this 7,500 sqare foot 1928 building that was a former Plymouth dealership and automotive garage into a huge venue and new local favorite hang-out with the help of two Pearl Jam band members. It attracts not only the area hipsters and college students, but also the corporate parties and business clientele.
With two additions and expansions, one in 2003 and another in 2008, the Garage became the only new bowling alley opened in the Seattle city limits in the last 40 years while offering an hugely impressive entertainment source featuring a total of 20 bowling lanes, 25 pool tables, 6 bars, and 3 private rooms. The design is sleek and cutting edge with a retro 50′s yet modern feel and crisp clean colors in the incredible almost 40,000 square foot building. Plenty of room to party and entertain even the biggest groups and functions, and clearly, many activities to choose from. The Garage is on the south end of the Broadway district on Capitol Hill, across from the Seattle Central Community College and just north of the International District.
