Getting to Pioneer Square at Night: Parking, Light Rail and Rideshare for Your Seattle Club Night

Quick Answer: Trinity Nightclub is at 107 Occidental Ave S in Pioneer Square, Seattle. The easiest ways to get there are the light rail to Pioneer Square Station on the 1 Line, or Uber or Lyft, which can drop you off and pick you up right on Occidental Ave S. If you drive, there are paid garages nearby, but street parking is unpredictable on weekends, so arrive early.

You've picked your night, your crew is ready and your outfit is sorted. Now the only question is how you're getting downtown. Pioneer Square is one of the easiest Seattle nightlife districts to reach, but a little planning makes the difference between walking straight in at 10 PM and circling the block for half an hour. Here's how to get to Trinity, whichever way you're travelling.

Where Is Trinity Nightclub?

Trinity sits at 107 Occidental Ave S, Seattle, WA 98104, in the heart of Pioneer Square, Seattle's oldest neighborhood. Doors open at 10:00 PM and Trinity is open Thursday through Saturday until 2:00 AM, except Saturdays, when it's open until 3:00 AM. Trinity has been part of Pioneer Square nightlife since 2005, so if you're giving a rideshare driver or a friend directions, "Trinity on Occidental" is usually all they need.

Option 1: Take the Light Rail

The nearest light rail stop is Pioneer Square Station on the 1 Line, a short walk from the club. That makes light rail a great choice if you're coming from:

  • University of Washington: Ride from U District or UW Station straight downtown, with no parking and no surge pricing.

  • Capitol Hill: Hop on at Capitol Hill Station and you're in Pioneer Square in minutes.

  • South Seattle or SeaTac: The 1 Line runs north through the Rainier Valley into downtown.

Tip: Light rail is perfect for getting to the club. Before you head out, check Sound Transit's schedule for the last train of the night. If you plan to stay until close (2 AM, or 3 AM on Saturdays), have a rideshare or a sober ride lined up for the trip home.

King County Metro buses also serve the Pioneer Square area if a bus route works better for you.

Option 2: Uber or Lyft

Rideshare is the most door-to-door option. Uber and Lyft can drop off and pick up directly on Occidental Ave S, right by the entrance. A few tips to make it smoother:

  • Split the fare. Coming with a group? Splitting one car usually costs less per person than a round trip of parking.

  • Expect a rush at close. At closing time, a lot of people across downtown request rides at the same time. Walking a block or two away from the busiest corner can help your driver find you faster.

  • Double-check the plate. Always match the license plate and driver name in your app before you get in.

Option 3: Driving and Parking

Driving works, especially if you're coming from the Eastside or somewhere without a direct light rail connection. Here's what to know:

  • Paid garages are nearby. There are several paid parking garages within walking distance of the club.

  • Street parking varies on weekends. On busy Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, street spots in Pioneer Square fill up fast.

  • Arrive early. Getting there close to the 10 PM door time gives you the best shot at a spot, and a shorter line.

  • Plan a sober driver. Trinity is 21+ to drink. If anyone in your car is drinking, choose a designated driver before you leave, or leave the car at home.

Skip the Line Once You Arrive

Getting there is half the battle. The other half is getting inside. Two ways to make your arrival faster:

  • Buy presale tickets. Advance tickets are sold online, usually cost less than the door price, and advance ticket holders skip the general admission line.

  • Reserve a table. Table reservations come with dedicated seating and a private server, and let you skip the lines and cover. To make a reservation for bottle service, fill out the contact form or email vipservicetrinity@gmail.com.

And don't forget your ID. Trinity is 18+ to enter and 21+ to drink, and you'll need a valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID at the door.

Know the Re-Entry Rules Before You Step Out

Planning to step outside or run back to your car? Re-entry depends on your age:

  • 21+ guests may leave and re-enter.

  • 18–20 guests can't re-enter if they leave the premises or go out of the door staff's sight. If you step out to smoke or vape, stay within view of the front staff.

Bring everything you need for the night when you arrive, and remember that backpacks aren't allowed. Bags must be no larger than 12" x 6" x 12".

Getting Home Safely

Trinity is open until 2 AM (3 AM on Saturdays), so plan your ride home before your night starts. Agree on a meeting spot with your group, keep your phone charged, and never get into a car you didn't book. For more tips, read our guide on how to stay safe during a night out in Seattle.
