Vue Luxury Lounge is Chuck Wang ’ s newest nightlife destination concept and the venue is meant to be a space where a lux lounge , social club , art space , and music playroom all coexist . Walking inside the complex , it ’ s immediately apparent that Vue is different from anything else Seattle nightlife has to offer . Over a century ago , this Belltown building was a livery stable . By 1929 it became an automobile repair shop , remaining in operation until George Suyama purchased the building for his architectural office and showroom in 1995 . Fast forward to November 2018 and this historic building became the gorgeous venue Vue Lounge . Featuring multiple rooms , private karaoke suites , and three full-service bars , the ornate venue brings life to Seattle ’ s Belltown neighborhood . The first entrance to Vue takes guests into the Hypebeast room , fully embodying the “ lounge ” aspect of the venue . Standing tables adorned with designer logos are aligned along the floor plan , while full-scale , floor-to-ceiling pop-art from local Seattle artist Charms Won adorns the entrance wall . It ’ s a room meant to draw you in the second you enter . Coupled with plush couches , a stylish crystal-clear DJ booth , and a one-of-a-kind LED drink fridge behind the bar , it ’ s hard not to be impressed . Vue ’ s second entrance leads you into the Liquor Room , sponsored by six separate liquor companies , each featuring their own specialty cocktail . Walk straight through either the Hypebeast or Liquor Room , and you ’ re plunged into the audio-visual masterwork that is Vue ’ s Main Room . Vue strives to separate itself from your run-of-the-mill nightclub ,
