The Triple Door is a dinner theater, lounge and music venue founded in the fall of 2003, located at 216 Union Street in Seattle, Washington.
[3] The Triple Door is located on Union Street in the Mann building, the former home of the Embassy Theatre which was established as a movie theater when it opened in 1925.
[5] In 1984 the extremist group The Order set off a pipe bomb in the Embassy as a diversion for robbing an armored car at the Northgate Mall.
[7] The building was bought in 1999 by Rick and Ann Yoder, and renovations to improve the quality of live performances began in the fall three years later.
[8] The venue quickly rose in popularity and hosted shows for bands in the lounge (known as the "Musicquarium") such as Ottmar Liebert, The Courage, Natacha Atlas, Bassekou Kouyate, The Unthanks, Katie Herzig, Greg Dulli, Alyse Black, Edwin McCain, and El Vez.
