I came for the live music which was excellent, but I’m sadden to say that the bartender double dipped and charged me twice. It’s a great venue with top notch performers but I don’t feel comfortable giving them my credit card information again.

The sea monster is one of Seattle’s great small live music clubs. Set in Wallingford there’s plenty of places to go to for a pregame. There’s a great dumpling house that’s located on the back part of the same building. Bartenders are always great and the sound is always right on. I really enjoy being able to…

Super cute spot! Lots of areas to sit, stand and dance, live music, incredible drinks. The Spanish coffee was phenomenal, they light the glass on fire which caramelizes the sugar rim, so good!!!!

Response from the owner · Edited 3 weeks ago
It's actually impossible for them to charge you twice without swiping your card twice. If you opened a tab, the bank "preauthorizes" a $25 charge, but it gets reversed back to you... usually within 24 hours. Did you open a tab? Most likely you saw the preauth charge in addition to what you spent on your app and assumed the worst. It's just the way our Point of sale system works.
