"Tim’s Tavern, a popular venue in Seattle known for its live music lineup, announced its closure at its current address due to leasing issues and COVID-19 concerns. The venue, originally established as Jack's Tavern in the 1930s, became a major spot for live music, particularly punk shows, under the management of Greg Gibson, Mason Reed, and Matthew O’Toole. After closing in March 2020 due to the pandemic, it reopened in July 2021 but faced challenges due to the delta variant. The owners decided to close it again in August 2021 with plans to find a new location. The venue is known for giving 100% of ticket sales to bands and maintaining a basic menu of drinks and snacks." - Gabe Guarente
