  Chop Suey is a music venue in Seattle, Washington, United States.
  
  ## Description
  
  Lonely Planet says, "Chop Suey is a small, dark space with high ceilings and a ramshackle faux-Chinese motif. Reborn under new ownership in 2015, it now serves burger-biased food as well as booze and music. The bookings are as mixed as the dish it's named after – electronica, hip-hop, alt-rock and other creative rumblings from Seattle's music underground." Regular dance events held at the venue include Candi Pop and Dance Yourself Clean.
  
  ## History
  
  In 2009, a man was charged for killing a hip-hop artist at the venue.
  
  In 2015, new owners were pressured to change the venue's name. Chop Suey saw a soft reopening in March 2015.
  
  A kitchen called The Escondite opened within the venue in 2016.
