There is a spacious outdoor seating area, and two mammoth garage doors, rolled up to let in the summer evening air. The owners have spent just about a year converting the former headquarters of Baby Diaper Service. Looking like a cross between a Mount Rainier lodge and a Belltown bar, Nectar is the newest baby on North 36th Street.
(From 'The Ballroom is always packed on Friday and Saturday nights and cannot be matched for meat market potential in Fremont.') It isn't 'another one of those meat markets.' The owners, Tate Rogers and Jed Smithson, buddies since junior high in Kirkland - are deeply committed to making this a top-notch little music venue, à la Tost, as opposed to a whoop-de-do make-the-scene spot, à la the Ballroom, just a few doors down.
What's that you say? Fremont needs another bar like you need another tax burden? Like Bill Gates needs a second job? Like TV needs another reality show?īefore you rush to judgment, check out the new Nectar Lounge.
