Dinner Before Joanne McNally at The Crocodile
Planning dinner before Joanne McNally at The Crocodile? The Irish comedian brings her Pinotphile tour to Seattle on Tuesday, September 22, with doors at 6 PM and the show at 7:00 PM. Grappa is 1.9 miles away by car in Queen Anne, about six minutes without traffic. A table around 5:00 PM is a good fit, or a little earlier if you want to be there when the doors open.
Plan your night around the show
Seating at this show is limited and first come, first served, so if you would rather sit than stand, aim to arrive close to 6 PM. That means sitting down at Grappa around 4:30 PM. If you are happy to stand, a table around 5:00 PM still gets you to Belltown before Joanne McNally starts at 7:00 PM.
The show is 21 and over, so bring a valid, unexpired photo ID. Before you leave, check the live route from Grappa to The Crocodile. For parking, bag rules and the box office, see our guide to dinner near The Crocodile.
