Jeff was a fantastic and responsive host and was also very accommodating of our specific needs. We would definitely book with him again, and the space is very charming.

Rented this space as part of my birthday party. The venue was awesome and lived up to all our expectations. The staff were super friendly and helpful and everyone had a great time.

We held a event for several literary organizations during a conference and booked this venue without setting foot in the physical space, not being based in Seattle. Jeff was communicative and helpful in getting us set up with a drink-ticket system and telling us about the space and how it would meet our needs. When we arrived, the staff—Jeff and also EJ, Athena, and Vince—had provided us with the first floor as well, to accommodate an unexpectedly high number of RSVPs. They played music for us during our three-hour event, until a performance by DJ Exesive began, which the guests who stayed enjoyed immensely. Fantastic space, fantastic staff.

In this crazy unpredictable time, Jeff and his wife rolled with the punches and provided the most amazing night for us. Would definitely recommend! This duo is genuine, understanding, and SO much fun!

Cafe Racer is a gem of an event space and Jeff was amazing to work with. Will definitely look at them for future events.

Beautifully quirky spot to premier a video project and one of the last hurrahs at that spot. Sorry it’s moved but look forward to enjoying the new locale!
