Bush Garden is a restaurant and karaoke bar[1] on Maynard Avenue South[2] in Seattle's Chinatown–International District, Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington.[3][4][5][6]

History

Bush Garden opened as a Japanese restaurant in 1953.[7] It is Seattle's first karaoke bar.[8] Bush Garden closed in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and is slated to reopen in 2024.[9][10]

Reception

Thrillist says, "It may not be quite as entertaining as Busch Gardens, but this place is still pretty fun thanks to sing-a-longs that basically never stop, cheap Asian takes on bar eats, and stunningly stiff and inexpensive drinks."[11]
