Don’t take my word for it, just listen to Sue Bird (around 01:23):

The 36-year-old bar has weathered a lot of changes on the Hill, and it’s miraculously survived the pandemic to come out even stronger.

Like CC’s, they’re known for their strong pours.

Pro tip: Union’s block parties don’t usually require a cover, making them an easy spot to meet up with people during big weekends like Pride.

Seattle welcomes everyone in a city that is safe and friendly to all.

Just east of downtown, the Capitol Hill neighborhood has long been the city’s gay epicenter, with rainbow-painted crosswalks and many ways to dive into the LGBTQIA+ scene.

Aside from Capitol Hill, there are gay-friendly and gay-owned establishments just about everywhere in town. Also: Burgers. They’re the same owners of Thumper’s (RIP), a former “piano bar for gay daddies in tweed coats,” as The Stranger once described it, and that vibe has spiritually carried over to Union.

This chill and flirty bar features a full kitchen with burgers, tacos, and even baked brie, which is not something I usually expect to see at a gay bar.

They’ve also got a full menu featuring everything from mozzarella sticks to a “daddy bear taco burger.” I assume that’s a taco burger made for or by daddy bears. Catch dance parties on the weekends along with the occasional drag brunch or event.

🎠 Pony

1221 E Madison Street

Pony is gay famous.

Expect chiller evenings with lots of locals on the weekdays.

Gay Seattle

The home of all things gay in Seattle is the Capitol Hill neighbourhood, where you can find photogenic rainbow crosswalks plus all the gay clubs, pubs, and coffee shops.

With its cheap drinks, extensive song menu, and judgment-free vibe, it’s the perfect spot to park your keister and do as many Britney renditions as your heart desires.

🔗 The Cuff Complex

1533 13th Avenue

The Cuff Complex is one of Seattle’s oldest LGBTQ+ venues.

There’s a wide range of ages here, and it leans predominately gay. Around since 1993, the club has gone through a few spiritual changes. Here’s a selection.

BiNet Seattle
A bisexual non-profit, mixed gender, social and support organization created to foster a visible community for bisexual, bi-curious people, and their partners in the Puget Sound area.

Meet your neighbors by the fire pit on the patio.

The DJ nights are the main focus at Pony. Summer features two annual Pride festivals, while the Seattle Men’s Chorus and Seattle Women’s Chorus are the largest LGBTQIA-identified men’s and women’s choruses in the world.

With go-go boy shadows on the top floor visible from the street, Massive regularly hosts diverse programming—everything from pop and house music nights to drag shows to makeout parties—that mostly cater to the Gs in LGBT.

It’s good.

Mx. is Queer Bar’s signature event.

Other perks: a coat check for a few dollars and several different kinds of alcoholic slushies. Its menu is chock full of carnival-themed offerings like corn dogs and popcorn.

Here you can explore beautiful parks, enjoy a meal, and take advantage of the vibrant nightlife. The flirting is stronger.
