After a 2 year long hiatus, the legendary Fenix
Underground (aka. "The Fenix"), in Seattle WA, will
be reopening it's doors on May 15th.
The Nisqually Earthquake, on Feb. 28, 2001, devastated
the historic Cadillac Hotel building, the former home of the Fenix,
forcing the popular nightclub to close its doors after ten years
of business. Shortly after the earthquake struck, owners Rick
Wyatt and Mike Lagervall vowed, "the Fenix shall rise again!"
and began the two-year process of finding a proper location and
building a new Fenix worthy of its namesake's reputation.
The new multi-level, 18,000 square foot building
is located on 1st Avenue and Washington in Seattle's historic
Pioneer Square.The new club is spread over three floors with five
bars, three dance floors, a pool hall, and a cafe, which will
be open late on weekends.
The Aboveground stage will host a wide variety of
national and local acts playing Reggae, Rock, Swing, Ska, Industrial
and Gothic, and the Underground will feature DJ entertainment
7 nights a week. The cafe will feature Tex-Mex style cuisine and
will be open for both lunch and dinner with seating available
on the outdoor patio as well as inside seating complete with music
and wireless Internet access.
Seattle's Pioneer Square district is full of nightlife
and on the weekends, the district hosts a joint cover charge,
in which "The Fenix" will be included.
One of Seattle's only REAL nightclubs, The Fenix
Underground has lived up to it's namesake, and is rising again.
