Crocodile Café
One of the best rock clubs in the country and a Seattle institution, this Belltown space helped launch the grunge and alt-rock scenes. It has showcased virtually every important Seattle band during the grunge years and since (including, of course, Nirvana). It closed in 2007, but has been rescued and is now once again home to some of the city’s best indie-rock shows, whether local or touring bands. The attached cafe also serves a decent greasy-spoon breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Admission to the amateur races is free Monday and Wednesday; when the pros hit the track on Friday, admission costs $3.
