Definitive "grunge" club in aesthetics and atmosphere. Located beneath I-5 overpass—dark, dingy, notoriously hard to park. Architecture was functional bunker. Constant rumble from interstate combined with sonic assault inside created hermetically sealed noise environment.
PEARL JAM'S FIRST SHOW as Mookie Blaylock, October 22, 1990—watershed moment marking Eddie Vedder's debut. Where "Seattle 4" (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains) solidified live acts. Larger and more aggressive than Central. Closed as Off Ramp 1999, reopened as El Corazon 2005.
