Every Friday and Saturday, catch a large cast of local queens often performing with touring RuPaul’s Drag Race queens. All are really welcome. Here you can explore beautiful parks, enjoy a meal, and take advantage of the vibrant nightlife. 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.

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. The more obscure, the better.

💪🏼 Massive

619 E Pine Street

Located right on the corner of Pine and Boyston, the three-level club that once housed the legendary R Place is now home to Massive, which opened in 2023.

Expect a rowdy, friendly, and mixed crowd. 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. Seattle and Capitol Hill have been serving the LGBTQ+ folk since as early as the 1920s, and a strong community has flourished.

🥛 Kremwerk Complex

1809 Minor Ave #10

The Kremwerk Complex feels like a piece of Berlin in the Denny Triangle. The bottom line: The drinks are strong. They host drag multiple nights of the week, alongside karaoke, burlesque, and bingo events.

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

It leans toward gay men and specifically bears, but you can really find everyone here. 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.

Though it’s gone through lots of owners over the past eight decades, and its reach extends beyond the queer community, its current iteration is a seven-days-a-week karaoke bar. Grab a great deal on your hotel stay when you book via GayMapper!
