ABOUT

Massive is Seattle’s cutting-edge nightclub, designed for the queer community and its allies. Located in the heart of Capitol Hill, this dynamic three-floor venue offers an unparalleled experience powered by a state-of-the-art Danley Soundsystem that immerses you in bass that penetrates your body. Our top floor features a main stage dance floor with the finest equipment atop our custom-crafted steel tables and designed by Tyler Morrison to ensure pristine sound quality. The club, housed in the iconic and historic space that was once rPlace, also boasts three bars serving award-winning slushies and high-quality spirits, along with gogo platforms, a stripper pole, and a second stage on the mezzanine.

Beyond its immersive atmosphere, Massive played a pivotal role in reshaping Washington State’s nightlife. In 2024, we helped lead the charge to pass Bill 6105, which decriminalized queer bodies, provided worker protection rights for adult entertainment workers, and removed archaic lewd conduct regulations and dress codes in clubs. Thanks to our efforts, patrons of Massive experience much more freedom and body autonomy, forever changing the landscape of nightlife and adult entertainment in the state.

Massive is more than just a nightlife destination; it’s a hub for community engagement, offering bi-weekly movie nights, figure drawing sessions, and more. With resident DJs Nark, Succubass, Sharlese, Luis M, shortSTACK, and yourMOM, Massive is a space created by and for the queer community, embracing all its vibrant pockets.
