Seattle gay and lesbian bars

Since coming out, Seattle has proven to be an awesome place to live for a number of reasons: the people, the weather, the natural beauty, the nightlife, the outdoor life, and oh yeah- did I mention how queer-friendly this place is? I travel quite a bit for work and hands down, I think Seattle is the best place besides New York to be a queer lady.

The Wildrose E Pike St- Capitol Hill : This Capitol Hill bar staple has been around for over 20 years- serving up cold beer, good food and eye candy to the Seattle lesbian community. Tuesdays are Taco Tuesdays, which tend to get crowded. Fridays and Saturdays usually feature a Seattle and are sometimes themed dance parties and are guaranteed to be an ass-shaking and time.

Sundays the Rose has a great brunch, Happy Hour, and shows a few of the sports games, depending on the season. The crowd at the Rose is as diverse as Seattle lesbians are, and that includes age. It tends to have a good mix of genders and feels like a neighborhood bar.

Wednesday is Lesbian night with karaoke, which draws a fun and friendly crowd. Very casual environment with a good mixed clientele. Neighbours Broadway- Capitol Hill — Similar to R Place, but more house music, less gay women, and a little bit sketchier crowd. Held once a month, this dance packs Re-Bar, a divey space in downtown to the brim with hot young and young at heart women.

Cherry has rotating DJs who usually spin whatever is most popular at that time. This is definitely the most popular to meet other ladies to hook up with. Lick: Held randomly throughout the year at Chop Suey. Lick is the more diverse, more trans-friendly, and much more hipster cousin to Cherry. The DJs play a variety of music from the recent and not so recent past which keeps the dance floor going strong.

Over the past few years, Seattle has experienced an gay in awesome new restaurants, cafes, and dessert spots. Capitol Hill is hands down the center of the new foodie experience in Seattle, located just a short walk from downtown and serviced by a million buses.
