After several years of showcasing live music at Providence Point in Issaquah, Eastside jazz club, Bake’s Place, will open the doors of it’s new downtown Bellevue location this weekend.

Inspired by the multitude of talent throughout Washington state, owners Craig and Laura Baker have spent the past 14 1/2 years taking Bake’s Place from a small private jazz club to one of the top establishments for live music on the Eastside.

In addition to doubling seating capacity of the previous venue, the new location will feature floor to ceiling windows, a richly appointed dining room and pristine acoustics.

The new location will feature live music six nights a week, spanning a broader variety of genres including R&B, Latin, indie acoustic, jazz and blues.

Kicking off tonight, the grand opening festivities will feature a 3-night run by internationally-recognized jazz vocalist Dee Daniels, accompanied by celebrated Seattle musicians Tony Foster, piano; Chuck Deardorf, bass; D‚‘Vonne Lewis, drums; and Brian Kent, sax.

In addition to a larger space, the new Bake’s Place introduces a new, globally inspired menu from Chef Chris Peterson (of Seattle’s Café Campagne, as well as Bis on Main, Milagro Cantina and Hector’s Bar & Grill).

The new menu will feature small- and large-plate offerings – with the option for guests to enjoy summer dining on the spacious outdoor patio.
