Belltown Yacht Club—which occupies the large space adjacent to the two-year-old Screwdriver Bar, located in the basement of the historic Barnes Building—was spawned from the minds of that establishment's three owners: Chris Jones, Dave Flatman, and Bryan Krieger. The trio have extensive nightlife experience from the (old) Comet Tavern, Crocodile, and Neumos. They're part of a new wave of artsy entrepreneurs who have migrated from Capitol Hill to Belltown, along with the owners of Jupiter Bar, Neon Boots, Black Cat, and others. Together, they're shifting the locus of coolness to a part of Seattle that, in recent years, had become a playground for the rich and culturally obtuse. "We're a bunch of misfits, so we are all taking care of each other here," Krieger says.
BYC's bosses wanted to fill the void left by the loss of Second Avenue Pizza and other gritty venues. "We love this neighborhood, and it is just a shame to see things disappear," Flatman says. "So we wanted to have something that is here to keep promoting the Seattle music and artistic scenes in that community... to try to hold on to a little bit of why we fell in love with Belltown."
