    Not a good experience today. I’ve gone to this bar since they have opened and today was very odd. My group was served by one of the oldest bar tenders and everything seemed ok. We asked to be put on the wait list for patio seating and were told to hold tight. 20-25 minutes later a group walked and were whispered that a table was just cleaned off. They were seated. Not my group on the wait list. 10 minutes later another group walked in and asked for patio seating. “Oh you will need to take a table up top...we’re packed on the patio”. They declined and left. 5 minutes later “Hey do we have tables available? Yeah we do. Like 3 available the bar back stated. So, I find it very interesting that both minority groups didn’t get seated or told otherwise and magically the other groups did. I will return as it’s my favorite local spot but I’ll be mindful of who’s behind the bar.

    This is a great little neighborhood gay bar. Similar in size to The Eagle on Capitol Hill but with more class. Obviously it is lumberjack themed and is mostly well decorated. It's on two levels and the downstairs is quiet and isolated from the main level which is nice for privacy or if you have anxiety like I do. The place has a nice outdoor drinking area in back. I mostly go there for Karaoke on Tuesday nights when they have Seattle's best host who really knows how to set up the sound system so you sound awesome. It's really a nice joint and I really want them to succeed.

    I went to this bar with some friends since I’m visiting from out of town and it was my first bar to visit and I was excited to go to an LGBT atmosphere bar since I’m from Nashville and we don’t have many with that vibe. I wasn’t expecting to get told my ID was fake and I even asked if he was being serious about it and even tried to reassure him that it’s real. The bartender even bent it to where it’s creased now because they said it was too plasticity. I was lucky enough to have my passport with me but the bartender didn’t even seem apologetic about bending my ID and creasing it. I’m not sure if I’m just being too sensitive but he could have scanned it to confirm it was real or ask a coworker for their opinion, but he just bent it and said it’s fake. I probably wouldn’t come back, since it caught me off guard but I know he was just doing his job but there other ways of confirming an ID is real instead of bending it and saying it’s too plasticity.

    I really want to love this bar, but I won’t be back. It’s mostly table service, which I truly hate. We received mediocre service at best and our tab was $74 dollars for 3 house gin and tonics, 1 vodka soda, and $5 chips (after 20% tip). That comes out to almost $17 a drink after tip for a basic house drink. Either the tab was off … or the prices are crazy here. At either rate, I won’t be back.

    A great place to hang! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and there is table service. As with any popular place, however, during busy times, expect to wait a bit for table service (or just order at the bar). Lots of calendar events to check out. We haven’t stayed there too late, so I cannot comment on the late night scene, but from what I can tell, it’s a great place with a great vibe. I would happily invite any friends to meet there.

    They don't care about the environment. They bend IDs and they make their customers have a higher carbon footprint. Don't go here or you will need to pay a trip to the DMV, waste money, waste environmental resources, just because a bartender couldn't have just said "we are denying you service" and hand the ID back.

    I'm rooting for this bar to succeed! I never thought I would see a gay bar in White Center. It's always been a rough trade kind of neighborhood, down to the two adult bookstores and countless bars. The guys who took this chance and opened the bar are definitely forward thinking. There's a need for this bar in South Park with many of us leaving or left Cap Hill. I have only been once and it was a Wednesday night. I was surprised and glad to see a crowd of about 30 people also there. Support this bar and keep them there for years to come!

    Nice bar, had the chips and Salsa wasn't very good and the nachos were bad.

    As a person who often visits the bar alone/ as a individual, who isn't "looped in"... It's not impossible to be social, but busting into a clique takes a hefty amount of effort. The staff are nice, but people are people. I still say visit. Go enjoy yourself, be happy, say hi to people, be nice to your bartender, and tip in cash if you can. It's a nice look on you.

    Love this place. Came by for White Center Pride and can’t believe they have Velo!!! (my favorite queer, Latin artist) working security at the front door. I’m coming back every week.

    I live coming here especially for the first Monday of each month, but tonight (11-6-23) I went to go get a drink at the bar and the bar tender asked for my ID and refused service because it was vertical… this isn’t the first time I’ve been here but it was the first time I was denied service.

    Great local spot. Very welcoming and inclusive. Drinks and eats are well prepared and the staff are friendly and attentive. Love the variety of theme nights and events. Check out the Sunday drag brunch or drop by for Happy Hour (a personal favorite) mixed crowd that is generally friendly.

    Great space! Owners that listen to the community and deliver. Wonderful to gave an interior that us filled with colour and lighting. In house smoked meats and cheeses are incredible! Staff is eager to get your order right and will often offer suggestions on what has been recently added to the shelves.

    Great gay bar in White Center. Fantastic staff, great drinks, fun events. Highly recommend this gay bar over the ones up on cap hill. They have great food and in house made smoked beef jerky. If you enjoy beef jerky the Lumberyard's is worth enjoying. Little secret you can also order their food menu items for take out.

    Always a fun time to be had! The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome and the crowd is a good mix of men of all ages and are always friendly and approachable. Drinks are tasty and they don't skimp on the booze. Try the Bear Juice!

    West Seattle's Iconic LGBTQ bar. Great bartenders, friendly customers and a beautiful outdoor patio. Saturdays you can catch Dolly Madison, doing an amazing weekly drag show. The food is classy af, i personally recommend the Italian meatballs with the mash potatoes

  • 5/5 Jerry V. 5 years ago on Google
    The BBQ is good, I wish they had some more options for my friends that can't eat Gluten. The bartenders have always been fun. The place feels rather small when you first come in but with the downstairs and the back area there are lots of places to hang out.

  • 5/5 Tony P. 6 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, cozy with a warm neighborhood feel, and bartenders are really nice. I'm so happy that there is a cool place to hang out close to home. Can't wait for summer to enjoy their patio. On weekends, it gets packed so bring your patience!

    Great bar with a good outdoor and event space (Loading Dock) in the basement of the building next door. Drinks are great and the food is awesome too! Inside is super cool too! The owners, Nathan and Michael, do a great job to keep the place fun and open to everyone!
