Sapphic Seattle : June 23, 24, 26
6/23 - Isle of Sappho at Supernova
The venue has an ADA accessible entrance and bathroom for GA. Unfortunately the VIP section has a flight of stairs making it inaccessible. Complimentary earbuds are provided by the venue for noise protection.
6/24 - Sapphic Pride at Chop Suey
From Chop Suey: The venue is accessible to people with disabilities. There are two ramps in the venue. One from the entrance that leads to the box office, and our two bar areas. Another that leads into the main showroom floor, and the bathrooms which both have accessible stalls. There is a lounge next to the main bar that is up a step, and therefore inaccessible for some folks with mobility aids. We can provide wheelchair accessible seating if you email info@chopsuey.com in advance. If you require any other disability related accommodations, please email us in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Starting May 1st Chop Suey will follow King County COVID health guidelines. Please check individual event listings for Covid-19 vaccination requirements. We may ask for proof of vaccination to enter at the request of the performing artist. Masks are suggested to wear at all times unless actively eating or drinking. Requirements are subject to change based on city and state safety mandates.
6/26 - Y2K edition of Sapphic Pride at Neighbors Nightclub
The venue has an ADA accessible entrance and bathroom. The VIP section is up a flight of stairs, so it is not accessible.
From Sapphic Seattle: If there is anyone with specific accessibility concerns, we are happy to answer any and all questions through Instagram direct messages.
