Brian and I were excited to see the dingy corner of California Avenue and Fauntleroy (otherwise known as the Morgan Junction) renovated to include two new businesses (who says the economy is bad) within the past few months. Welcome to West Seattle Zeek's Pizza and the Feedback Lounge. No better time than the Morgan Junction Community Festival this past weekend to check both places out.
Let's start with the Feedback Lounge. Way too cool! Dark......urban.......slick. Brian and I stopped in for an afternoon cocktail on Saturday. The place has got a cool rock n' roll vibe and features plasma TVs playing legendary music artists in concert - everything from The Who to Johnny Cash (huge collection of rock memorabilia on the walls) and just about every kid of music blasting from their in-house sound system. Check out their calendar of events.
Brian and I were a little surprised that they didn't have a stage for live music (perhaps something they will re-think down the road).
The lounge is broken into two sections with The Whammy Bar towards the rear featuring a unique collection of vintage guitars and a huge front of the house bar and seating area. Outside you can relax on the SUNNDECK, a 40-foot long outdoor lounge area (named in tribute to Sunn Amplifiers). I think this place will thrive in the winter and after-hours...it just has this dark mood to it - you know, someplace to get "lost" on a rainy Seattle day!?
They have an inviting drinks and food menu - with Happy Hour and After Hour treats.
If you are a connoisseur of music and rock n' roll history - then check this place out - I think it is quite unique to the W. Seattle area and especially the up and coming West end of California Avenue.
Zeek's Pizza sits right on the corner and they have made this pizza joint more than just a place to grab a slice. It's got the feel of a neighborhood hangout as much as a pizza place (with a nice sundeck of their own). Large, unique pies with out of the norm sauces and toppings under thick slices of gooey cheese. Beer on tap (even a little bar where you can wait for your pizza to be prepared) and large screen TVs with the latest sporting events. Huge area that I believe can be reserved for private parties.With Pizza's like....
