Inspired by Seattles Black & Tan Club prominent in the 1930s, the new Black & Tan Hall is a cooperatively-owned performing arts and restaurant venue which seeks to maintain Rainier Valley as a destination for cross-cultural arts and education events. Historically, Black & Tan clubs offered a haven for people of all races in an era when segregation dictated social boundaries. The B&T Hall embraces that inclusive ethos while celebrating Seattles rich music and arts history.
