Tractor Tavern

A band performing at the Tractor Tavern in Ballard, Seattle

Ballard

On historic Ballard Avenue, the Tractor Tavern is the city’s home for roots, Americana, folk and alt-country, with a warm wood-and-wagon-wheel room and reliably good sound. It’s a locals’ favorite for discovering songwriters up close. Come early for a drink, then wander Ballard’s bars and restaurants after the show.
