Plan your night around the show
This show is all ages. With doors at 7 PM and an 8:00 PM start on a Wednesday, sit down at Grappa around 6:00 PM. The Crocodile does not allow backpacks or bags larger than 12 x 12 x 8 inches, and anyone collecting will-call tickets needs ID, so leave a few minutes for the door. Before you set off, check the live route from Grappa to The Crocodile.

Getting to The Crocodile
The drive is short: take Queen Anne Avenue North down the hill, turn onto Denny Way and then onto 1st Avenue, and The Crocodile is at the corner of Wall Street. It has no parking lot of its own, but it partners with SpotHero for reserved parking nearby, and street parking is available throughout Belltown. A rideshare drop-off on 1st Avenue is the simplest choice if you plan to share a bottle of wine with dinner.
