Crescent Lounge

Union is a popular neighbourhood bar in the heart of Capitol Hill. The interior is light and airy, with the fireplace lit on cold days, the perfect place to relax and forget the stresses of the city. Enjoy your favourite cocktails out on the patio and meet new friends and take advantage of the fire pit out here too for colder nights. The bar even serves up your favourite pub foods.

This multiplex complex serves as a "community living room", dedicated to a diverse but masculine crowd. There's something for everyone to enjoy, from billiards and darts on the main floor, an outdoor patio space, and "the dog run" where people just gather for a chat. The Cuff is the home of many of Seattle's fetish groups as well as the bear and biker community, but everyone is welcome and accepted.

This slightly more classic pub has a modern attitude and welcomes queer people of all identities. It's a place to relax and unwind, where you're sure to make new friends over a game of pool or darts. Catch up with a welcoming crowd at the bar and sample the range of beers on tap served with a smile. This is also THE bar to go to during Seahawks season, as everyone meets here to enjoy the game.

Q is a state-of-the-art multilevel venue located in the Capitol Hill neighbourhood. Innovative interior design coupled with ground-breaking sound and lighting and exceptional service make for a truly unique experience. Bartenders put their own twist on your favourite drinks and create speciality cocktails, and the club even has its own club's own line of infused and flavoured vodkas. Q is a lounge space on weekdays and transforms into a nightclub at the weekend.

A camp and queer crew keep this bar at the top of everyone's lists, providing a safe space that promotes inclusivity, always. A diverse range of DJs provide music every day of the week, while on Friday and Saturday nights you can catch some local drag legends taking the stage. A delicious menu of food, including wings and sandwiches, is provided by Sunset Fried Chicken. Come support your favourite queens and stay for the food!

Head south from Seattle to find White Center's first LGBTQ+ bar, The Lumber Yard, which serves a growing community of diverse queer folk. Visitors usually head straight for the main floor bar, where craft cocktails, draft beers, and premium wines are served throughout the day by friendly bartenders. When you've enjoyed your favourite drinks, be sure to head downstairs for good food and a quieter atmosphere that lends itself to conversation. There's even an outdoor patio if you prefer some fresh air.
