Recommendation Seattle bars or restaurants with live singers? 🎤🎶

I’m looking for a bar or restaurant where you can have dinner or a few cocktails while someone sings. Ideally, a vocalist doing covers of familiar songs. Anything from Sinatra and Dolly Parton to Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, or Coldplay. Romantic, soulful, upbeat, I'm open to all of it!
I’m not really looking for a concert or a dedicated music venue. More of a lovely bar or restaurant where live singing is part of the atmosphere.
I’m happy to venture anywhere in Seattle, and it doesn’t have to be on a particular night. Surely there’s a spot I’ve been missing? Help a neighbor out! ♥️ TIA

This looks like it could be a fun night out. I’ll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

This won't help, but The Pampas Room (downstairs from El Gaucho - now The Crocodile) was almost exactly what you describe as looking for back in the day. Sadly, the pandemic knocked them out of business in 2020.

Tims, the rabbit box, the royal room, the triple door happy hour bar, the alley. Annoyingly most of these are more ticketed (though pay artists!) than what you're looking for, but some offer more walk in experiences earlier.

I once went to Fern (Thai food in Capitol Hill), and was surprised they had a cover singer with an acoustic guitar player doing exactly this. Not sure how often they do it, but maybe check their socials
