Barboza Concerts 2025

This is a cute little venue for intimate seating. There’s actually no seats but that makes this place personal recently. I saw a concert at lumen field and I really couldn’t enjoy the music because I couldn’t really hear it here I could hear the music and it was awesome. The staff is super friendly, they open the doors early and you can get drinks and food before you actually go to listen to the music but make sure you don’t order too much because you can’t take it downstairs to your event there’s street parking so make sure you allow yourself time for that I will definitely be going back to this venue because of the intimacy but beware there are no seats to sit down.

Great experience. Wish they had a coat check with security, but other than that the place has great vibes. The venue was intimate and they had fans running and a large cooler of water and 8oz cups. Makes standing in excited crowed a lot more comfortable. Bathrooms were nice and clean.

Barboza is my favorite spot on this planet! Basement venue sounds, tons of fantastic local artists and a stellar staff. If you see a show in Seattle, it should be here ;)

It's interesting, having it all ages with the 21+ stuck in the back. No idea if that's an all the time thing but for the show I was at, that's how it was. I'd go again but I'd be annoyed with the 21+ section creamed in the back with limited seating.

I got rejected because I was carrying an empty can of beer to throw in the trash/recycling. Both the guys at the front were very rude and were saying that I was drinking outside the bar and then open container policy. They were indecisive on why they were rejecting even when I was trying to tell them that it was going in the trash and it was empty. I can’t see my favorite band until another year because of bouncers arrogance and my stupid mistake of trying to do the right thing not to litter. Edit: Based on reading other reviews, it looks like the whole management and bouncers there are racist. They selectively reject minorities. Horrible. Never coming to this place again or Neumos.
