Capitol hill gay bars
A First-Timers Guide to Queer Nightlife in Seattle
👠 Queer Bar
11th Avenue
Might as well start with the bar named Queer Bar.
Organized around a long catwalk, Queer Bar has become the defacto drag bar in Capitol Hill. They host drag multiple nights of the week, alongside karaoke, burlesque, and bingo events. Expect chiller evenings with lots of locals on the weekdays. But on the weekends, it becomes a full-scale party. Note: Their big mural devoted to Bosco and Irene DuBois, Queer Bar cast members who graduated to being RuPauls Drag Race girls. Also: Burgers. Seize dinner here. Its good.
Mx. is Queer Bar’s signature event. Every Friday and Saturday, catch a large cast of local queens often performing with touring RuPaul’s Drag Race queens. Remember: Deliver tips, and don’t just tip the Ru girls.
