Off Ramp Cafe Pillows
Description: A retro-style emblem featuring the text "OFF RAMP CAFE AND LOUNGE EST. 1986" in a distressed, off-white font. The design has a sunburst emanating from behind the text, with thin white lines and dots creating a vintage feel on a black background. A banner frames the establishment year.
Description: The Off Ramp Cafe was a dive situated in an odd no-man's land corner of downtown Seattle. it was trapped between a concrete off-ramp from southbound Interstate 5 and the tangled intersections of Eastlake Avenue, Stewart Street, and John Street, and wedged below a massive wall of the Denny Way bridge over I-5. Finding the rather small 300 person capacity joint was a challenge and parking was near impossible, but those factors didn't prevent the venue from being a destination for bar patrons and indie music lovers alike. The venue was at the heart of the grunge explosion in the ’90s that changed Seattle and music forever
