    We were late on Saturday night and didn’t want to wait in line. So we were back for cold beers Tuesday evening, good selection of cocktails & eats on the menu. Clean, well-kept, fresh decore, comfy environment with a variety of seating areas: booths, small tables & chairs, bench seating, and the bar. Great ambient music. Small well-lit dance floor and if the dance music is as good as the background sounds, this will be a great place to dance on the weekend

    I went with my boyfriend on a Friday night and it was dominated by straights, with parties of them reserving half of the seating. It felt more like a gay themed bar than a gay bar. Three stars for great food and service, but it’s not what I was expecting from a gay bar.

    If you are not what staff decides as “queer passing”- be prepared to be treated with the utmost disrespect in the most unwelcoming environment. I am a queer woman who moved to Seattle for the queer community and have loved every experience I’ve had… until now. Staff plays an EXTREME “gatekeeper” role no matter how friendly and respectful you are. Unless you have a handful of cash, of course. This venue has made me lose so much of my sense of queer community, and I grieve this loss. I will NEVER come back and will encourage others to do the same. Queer/Bar, be better… please.

    17.50 for a martini... yes that’s a martini in a TUMBLER!! Tiny place, well decorated, odd lines for drinks... seems to be very over priced, and seems like you get faster service if you know the bartender...

    Energy is amazing however… we paid For a VIP table for two of us and had 3 different groups of people keep trying to take our table when we went outside even though it said reserved during the whole show…. Very little BIPOC queer people so keep that in mind, definitely more of a white space. Loved the performances

    Extremely unfriendly staff, performers, and PLEASE stay away from the bathrooms if you have substance abuse issues for your own safety… everyone is abusing substances in the bathrooms every single time I’ve been, more extreme than any bar I’ve ever been to. Along with vomit everywhere, on top of bathrooms not being stocked at all even on slow nights. You are better off going to any other amazing queer bars like Pony or WILDROSE where staff is welcoming and facilities are clean :)

    I booked reservations at this venue for my sister's 50th birthday party. My party was not disappointed! The show was awesome ! Even though the menu was simple, the food was delicious. The event coordinator was very passionate about making the night perfect and the staff did not disappoint. I will definitely come back!

    Honestly I didn't know how to feel about this bar when it first opened because it replaced my favorite gay bar but it's seriously grown on me and become one of my favorite LGBTQ bars. It's a very mixed crowd with patrons from all across the LGBTQ spectrum. Great drag shows on the weekend and the best part is there is almost like a speakeasy upstairs. Just walk down the hallway like you are going to the bathroom and you'll find stairs to their super cool speakeasy lounge. Upstairs lounge is only open on the weekend.

    Loved coming here for a show. A booth is only $50 (for up to 5 people) during the week. We were able to squeeze in a 6th friend who just payed cover at the door. It was perfect. Beverages were fantastic- the female christ was a favorite. There was also a slew of non-alcoholic beverage options and food. Love dancing here and the staff are so fantastic *definitely loud, bring ear protection if you're sensitive *

    We went there on 7/21/22 for the first time and when we walked inside we were shocked by the LOUD sound. I’ve been to so many music festivals and clubs and nothing compares to how loud this place was. It was so uncountable that we left in less than 3 minutes. In fact, one of my ears is hurting right now. Not sure if the DJ was deaf, or the place was trying to intentionally blast everyone’s eardrums. My first experience left such a bad impression.

    I have never had a problem with queer bar. On Saturday At the door I was with my friend and a really rude security guard accused me of having a fake military ID. I chose to walk away since arguing with him would've been pointless. I enjoyed my night later at some of the other bars. I went to 5 different bars and no one had a problem with my military ID. If your a soldier just bring your drivers license as well. Queer bar is great when you're in and the atmosphere is amazing and most of the security at most of the bars are ex vets. You may run into the occasional random, but unlikely since I've been here for about 5 years now and that's the first time ever. Good luck and enjoy yourselves.

    The security wouldn’t let my cousin back in because they said he didn’t pay. I asked if they had the ability to check the cameras to confirm he paid or can I speak with the manager to confirm. They brought out the security manager supposedly who told me no they could not check cameras and then that he had to cut my wrist band because I was being aggressive. I showed no sign of aggression so it had to be something else. I won’t express the conclusion I came to but take your money somewhere else, this place is lame.

    My friend and I were drugged by the bartender and convinced to finish our drinks then after we left once we felt something was wrong they pushed my friend into a car/Uber and once her boyfriend said he was going to come get her and had her location they yelled at her to get out and charged her over 70 dollars. Stay away from here if you’re a woman or anyone really. This place is the worst.

    Went bar hopping on a Saturday night for my friend's 21st and came here for an epic time! This place is lit! This is where the party's at, everyone is living their best life and it was so much fun! We were a gender diverse group but didn't experience any rudeness from bartenders, security, or patrons as others mentioned. The drinks were good and fairly priced, but best of all everyone was so friendly and fun! I didn't see the bathrooms so can't speak on that, everywhere else seemed adequately maintained. The dance floor is relatively small and generally crowded but that's a sign of how poppin' it was! Hope it's this much fun next time we come back <3

    This place is amazing! I love the atmosphere and the vibe that is created. It is a nice modern twist on your typical bar setting. I feel very high class coming here as everything is clean and nicely decorated. I typically order bar food and regret it because its just average or mediocre, however that is not the case here. I got the chicken wings and DANG that was bussin. I also appreciate how friendly the staff was!

    Went to Queer/Bar for a drag show last night! Had a great time with my husband. It’s very rare to go out nowadays because me and him have different work schedules and yesterday was the day where we can actually enjoy some time together. Also, we like live pretty far from there: Issaquah, WA. Otherwise, had an amazing night. Saw some cool performances, very nice bartenders, and saw some of my old acquaintances 🥰. If you want to see some good drag, I highly recommend coming here and support local queens. Last night’s main event was Delta Works comedy show and I laughed so hard!!! Love love love it 😍! Lastly, I want to say my thanks to Jesse the bar supervisor for the free drink I had last night. You’re an amazing individual and I hope good things will come to you. 😘

    Desperate for money? Poor little bar! Bar is empty. No wonder why? The doorman just asked tried to get a $10 cover at 1:40 am and they close at 2am. I won't be back. Go to Union Bar. No cover at 1 am.

    We went for the s*** talk with Delta, it was fun. One of the best drag shows we've seen. We were going to stay and dance after but man they play the music so so loud. We must be getting old or something... 5 stars because the drag show was fun and the atmosphere is great. Please know the music does not need to be obnoxiously laud to have fun.

    Appreciated the security checks at the front, bartenders try to service quickly, staff takes empty drinks quickly for patrons safety. If you do not reserve a table, you cannot get the shareable drinks.

    An iconic place. Queer bar puts on the best shows, and they put a lot of work into making sure that their guests are taken care of. The bar tenders are great, and the security team is amazing! Love love love this place! 💕

    Went out late on a Friday night, queer bar was poppin! The energy was so fun, everyone was dancing and the DJ was playing good music. Our bartender Austin took the best care of us and made us amazing drinks. I asked for a surprise drink and was not disappointed, queer bar is the best! And I felt super safe while there:)

    Pretty venue but not extremely exciting if I’m being honest. Used to be great a few years ago!

  • 4/5 Alexander H. 4 years ago on Google
    Fun cute bar with a nice front seating. The stage is bit odd as it’s in the far back and only viewable by the vip sears or a narrow passage way. Still fun and full of characters

    Last night seeing bosco was amazing but we paid for a table where the website said “table service “ we did not get table service and we’re told it was because of omicron. Please change your website if we are still using covid as an excuse when the bar was jam packed with people. If you can deliver food and pick up glasses your servers can definitely take orders.
