Tenderpile’s Smile Aisle is a jazz combo out of Bellingham led by guitarist Ben Meyer. The concept of this project is to play music that is melodic and easy to listen to, while also being subtly complex and technical, in a configuration suited for the most intimate spaces. Focusing on the music of the Pat Metheny Group, Tenderpile's Smile Aisle aims to showcase this selection of instrumental deep cuts as a key ingredient for a perfectly relaxed and social environment.

The Musicquarium at The Triple Door is a spacious, self-contained lounge that seats 150. The lounge takes its name from The Triple Door’s dedication to music and the brilliant visual focus of the room, a stunning 1900-gallon freshwater aquarium just inside the entrance. If people-watching doesn’t appeal, the fish-watching is pretty fascinating.
The wraparound, U-shaped display bar ranges down the center of The Musicquarium, with a comfortably-arranged mix of tables and a standup bar on the Union Street side, plus seven booths for more private socializing lined up down the opposite side. A sneak hideaway occupies the corner at the far end of the booths.
Groups of 15-200 are able to utilize the Musicquarium Lounge for their event. Depending on the size of the group, a portion of the lounge will be reserved.
