Spokane has 151 venues mapped on the Gig Map, but almost all of what we have is imported listing data rather than firsthand reports from bands. That means you can use this page to build a target list and find out which rooms have a booking contact on file, but you will not find pay figures or response times here yet. Treat it as a starting map, not a scouting report.
What This Data Actually Is
All 36 community tips on Spokane venues are auto-scraped booking info. Not one of them is a band writing back about a load-in, a door split, or how a night went. So when this guide says a venue "has a booking contact on file," that means the listing carries one — not that anyone has confirmed the contact answers.
There are no pay structure reports for Spokane at all, and no booker-response data. We can't tell you whether this is a guarantee town, a door-deal town, or a tip-jar town, and we're not going to guess. Nobody has reported back on genre fit either, so the only genre signals in the data are the ones the venues published about themselves.
If you play Spokane, reporting your terms and whether the booker replied would move this city from a list of names to something actually useful.
Room Sizes And Venue Mix
Only 9 of the 151 mapped venues have a known capacity, so the size picture is thin. Within that small sample the range is wide: 30 at The Ridler Piano Bar and 35 at Browne Family Spirits Tasting Room & Distillery on the low end, up to Riverside Place at 1200 and First Interstate Center for the Arts at 2609. The median of that group is 225.
The mid-size cluster is where most of the confirmed numbers sit — Barrister Winery and its downtown tasting room at 225 each, Litz's Bar & Grill at 260, No-Li Bier Hall at 200, LaRae's on Second at 125. If you're a band that draws in the low hundreds, that's the tier to work.
By type, the mapped venues skew toward bars (34), breweries (16), wineries (15) and restaurants (13), with 7 performing arts theaters and a handful of pubs and bar-and-grills. That mix suggests a lot of the available work is in rooms where music is one part of a food-and-drink business, but again, no band has confirmed how those nights are structured.
Rooms With Booking Info On File
The venues carrying scraped booking details cover most of the size range. On the large end, First Interstate Center for the Arts (2609) and Riverside Place (1200) both have contacts listed, as does the Knitting Factory, a concert hall with no capacity recorded. WestCoast Entertainment appears as a services listing with published genres of Broadway, touring productions and concerts — worth knowing it exists, though it isn't a room you book directly.
On the brewery and taproom side, Bellwether Brewing, Bardic Brewing and Cider Downtown, Whistle Punk in both its downtown and Millwood locations, Hat Trick Brewing, Black Label Brewing, For The Love of God Brewing and Pizzeria, and Steam Plant Restaurant & Brew Pub all have booking info on file. Wine and spirits rooms are similarly represented: Thomas Clare Cellars, Nectar Wine and Beer, 1919 Wine Cellar, Pacific to Palouse Wine Bar, and Browne Family Spirits Tasting Room & Distillery.
Bars, pubs and restaurants with listed contacts include Litz's Bar & Grill, Bigfoot Pub & Eatery, Fizzie Mulligans, Corner Club, Hi Neighbor Tavern, Lord Stanleys, Hogwash Whiskey Den, Bistango Martini Lounge, Plunder Rum and Tapas Bar, Borracho Tacos & Tequileria, Osprey Restaurant & Bar, Gilded Unicorn and Globe. A few carry a named person rather than a general inbox; we don't publish those, but the Gig Map listing will tell you a contact exists.
Two listings publish a genre preference, which is rare enough to be worth acting on: The Ridler Piano Bar lists piano bar and dueling pianos, and Curtiss G lists jazz and chill hop. Those are the only self-declared genre signals in the whole Spokane dataset.
How To Approach It
With no pay or response data, the practical move is to pitch broadly and verify everything yourself. Ask directly what the night pays and how it's structured before you commit, because nothing in this dataset can answer that for you. Confirm capacity too — 142 of the 151 mapped venues have no capacity on record, so you may be walking into a room half or twice the size you pictured.
Also note that several venues here are event and wedding spaces rather than music rooms — LaRae's on Second, All About Memories, Riverside Place, the Woman's Club of Spokane. They have booking info on file, but that booking may be for private events, not a public show. Worth a question before you build a routing plan around one.
The full venue list on this page has all 151 rooms with whatever type, capacity and contact status we have on each. Work down it, and if you land a Spokane date, come back and log what it paid.
