Most Seattle birthday venues hand you one beige room, a seating chart, and a last call at midnight. That works for some people. If your birthday is the kind where the music gets louder and people end up in a completely different room than the one they walked into, this is your building.
Friday Night: $1,950 flat. Any six hours of the day, as late as 2am, up to 120 guests, bartender, one security guard, and cleaning included. That price holds through December 31, 2026.
1712 Studios is a two floor industrial warehouse in SODO. It is not one room with a divider in the middle. It is four spaces that each feel different, which is the whole reason a birthday here stops feeling like a rental and starts feeling like a night out. Fully indoor, so nothing about your plan depends on Seattle weather.
The big room. Double height ceilings, the dance floor, the Mackie system with subs, a DJ booth ready for your DJ, and a 110 inch screen for the photo reel of every bad haircut you ever had. This is the room the party ends up in.
Darker, lower, its own bar. This is where the people who came to talk go, and where the people who came to dance disappear to when they need ten minutes. One building, two completely different moods.
Double height and open. Dinner early, live band later, or the overflow room when 120 people show up and only 90 said yes. Add it when your night needs a second act.
Catering staging, a dessert table, a photo corner, or a taco truck pulled straight inside. Fully indoor, so Seattle weather never becomes part of your plan.
Most birthdays land on a Friday, so this is the one we built for them. One number, said out loud, with the bar and the door already handled.
$1,950 if you book before December 31, 2026, even for a 2027 date. It goes to $2,950 after that, and two rooms instead of one is $2,950 now or $3,950 then. Extra hours are $350, and that price already pays the bartender, the guard and the manager for the extra hour. A setup hour is $250 with the manager only, and it is only for time with no guests in the building. Deposit is 50% to lock the date.
Four other ways into the same building. Nothing about the rooms changes, only the day and the guest count.
Any six hours of the day, as late as 2am, Sundays from 4:30pm. Up to 120 guests in the Main Hall, bartender and one security guard included. The cheapest night with a bar in it. Two rooms is $2,650. Extra hours $350, staff included. Setup hours with no guests in the building, $250.
Dry, or beer and wine you pour yourselves. Two hour minimum, Monday to Thursday only. Main Hall $250 an hour plus $200 cleaning. Any bar at all is a package.
Six hours until 2am, up to 250 guests, the Main Hall plus your pick of the Speakeasy or the Back Venue, two bartenders, two guards, cleaning. $3,950 if you book before December 31, 2026, even for a 2027 date, then $4,950. This is the big one. Extra hours $550, staff included. Setup hours with no guests in the building, $250.
A 30th is usually 80 to 120 people, a DJ, and a bar that never stops. The Friday Night package was built for exactly that. A 40th tends to be smaller, louder, and later, and people want the Speakeasy open so the ones who came to talk have somewhere to go. A 50th and a 60th almost always means three generations in the room at once, which is where having two floors quietly earns its money: grandparents upstairs with a drink, everybody else on the floor.
Surprise parties work here because the front of the building gives nothing away until the door opens. And if you are planning a quinceañera, that has its own page with the court, the vals, and the changing room covered: quinceañera venue in Seattle.
We would rather lose you on this page than on a tour. If your event sits, we are not your place. If it moves, nobody in Seattle does it better for the money.
Other Seattle venues add 20 to 23 percent to the bottom of your invoice and call it service. We add zero. The number you are quoted is the number you pay.
Nobody here tells you to spend $4,000 on catering you did not want. Your family cooking, a caterer, trays from your favorite restaurant, or a taco truck in the back garage. Your call, every time.
Most of Seattle stops at midnight. Your guests are not finished at midnight. The building is yours until 2am, and that is written into the package, not sold back to you later.
4.7 on Google. 5.0 on Peerspace across 293 reviews. More than 200 events hosted in this building.
The Friday Night package covers up to 120 guests in the Main Hall. The Saturday Package opens a second room too, your pick of the Speakeasy or the Back Venue, and covers up to 250. The full building holds 300. Here is the honest part about seating: we own 80 chairs, 4 round tables that seat about 40 people, and 2 six foot tables. A 120 person birthday here is a party that moves, with seating around the edges, not 120 people at assigned tables. If you need everyone seated all night, book fewer guests or rent more furniture.
Yes, on every package. You buy the bottles wherever you want, and our licensed bartenders serve them. Hard liquor is welcome. There is no per guest alcohol fee any more, bar service is included in the package price. Outside bartenders are not permitted, and nothing can be sold, so no cash bar and no cover charge. You bring a Washington banquet permit and we walk you through how to get it.
Bring whatever you want. There is no food and drink minimum and no approved caterer list. Your aunt cooking all day, a caterer, trays from your favorite restaurant, or a taco truck parked in the back garage. That is one of the main reasons people pick this building over a hotel.
Until 2am. Most Seattle venues stop at midnight, and most birthdays are not finished at midnight. Setup and breakdown happen inside your booked window, so plan for that when you pick your hours. If you need more time before guests arrive or after they leave, a setup hour is $250 with the manager only, added as late as the day before. Setup hours are only for time with no guests in the building. Any hour with guests is a staffed hour. There is a 15 minute grace period to load out, and overtime after that bills by the hour.
Take a Sunday to Thursday. It is $1,750 for the same six hours in the Main Hall with the bartender and a guard included, any six hours of the day Monday to Thursday or from 4:30pm on a Sunday. Same building, same rooms, smaller number. A dry party on a Monday to Thursday can also go by the hour from $250, two hour minimum.
Take a tour first, it takes about 20 to 30 minutes and costs nothing. If it is a fit, a signed agreement and a 50% deposit lock your date. Deposits are non refundable, but you can move everything you have paid to a new date within 12 months instead of losing it.
December weeknights from $1,750, no food and drink minimum.
Offsites, mixers and launches that refuse conference rooms.
Graduations, anniversaries, reunions, nights people bring up a year later.
The vals downstairs, the cousins upstairs, the food in back.
See every room, or what every package costs.
Tours run about 20 to 30 minutes and cost nothing. Walk the Main Hall, go upstairs, hear the system, and leave with an exact number for your date. If it is not your venue, we will say so on the spot.
