The Lava Lounge was a popular beer joint and tiki bar on Second Avenue in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. Outside décor included a palm tree and a mask mounted on a colorful mural. The lounge closed in January 2022 ahead of a redevelopment project, and it and neighboring structures burned down the following June.

Here, on a summer day in 2016, patrons gather on the Lava Lounge’s front patio.
