Dimitriou's has been a fixture of the Seattle live music and dining scene 1979. In 1978, John and Carla Dimitriou moved back to Seattle from Washington DC. John’s hometown of Seattle where he began working with the Paramount Theater Company developing restaurant proposals. During that time, he continued to search for a location where he could open his own jazz venue. In 1979, he realized his dream with a small location in Seattle’s University District, which he called Jazz Alley. In 1985 it moved to its current location and has since reached international notoriety. It is still a place of hard work and great fun for John Dimitriou. His son Aristotle “Ari” spends time between school and Jazz Alley, where he manages, tends bar, and curates the club’s bar program.
