A rumor about this place — 2 years ago
Well, the rumor is pretty much out but here’s an excerpt from a recent Seattle Weekly column ...
Among other good things to find in neighborhoods, especially those that require passage over a long, tall bridge: Live music venues. West Seattle has a few, but none like the one owner Jessie Summa-Kusiak is planning for Skylark Cafe and Club, which will open in June where Madison’s Cafe was on Delridge Avenue. Distinguishing the space from the mostly sports-bar/cover-band clubs in that neighborhood, Summa-Kusiak will program indie rock, power pop, electronica, punk, and Americana. “Americana” is the right word to describe the menu, too. Presided over by former Easy Street Records Cafe manager Matthew Wolfson, it features Philly cheese steaks, mac and cheese, and burgers. Summa-Kusiak, a part-owner of the Mirabeau Room and a veteran of the local music scene (she played guitar in Ripley), says she’s aiming to make Skylark the OK Hotel of West Seattle. OK by me.
I can’t wait!
