Me and my partner visited Seattle's "Only Lesbian Bar" all the way from Canada Sunday, Oct 7th; and it was the worst, uninviting horrible experience we've ever had. We were met by a blue haired angry and rude bartender who immediately and gruffly greeted us bluntly with "I.D.S". We then proceeded to sit at the bar and order drinks, but we seemed like an inconvenience and being hurried to order when there was only two other patrons in the entire bar. The bartender was VERY unfriendly, angry, and literally the worst customer service experience we've ever come across, especially at a bar that touts an "inclusive-friendly-community" on the signs at the door. We ordered one beer and were there 5 minutes before leaving due to the aggressive nature of the bartender. The bar is tired and sad, and so is it's staff. Stay as far away as you can if you're looking for a good vibe.

The concept was good, but I’m frustrated by the fact that my friend was asked to leave based on her having a French accent and not being served due to being “intoxicated” after only having one drink. The music was average, the service was mediocre, and I will not be returning. For an inclusive bar, this feels quite the opposite.

The oldest lesbian bar West of the Mississippi River. An excellent establishment with good food, pleasant staff, and well trained security. I would highly recommend this establishment. Be kind. I suggest the Mac& cheese

The WildRose is a great place to get a drink and dance with fellow queer women! The bouncer is great and has always made us feel welcome. They're super diligent about keeping the space clean and picking up empty cups, and the crowd is always a ton of fun to dance with! Sometimes I wish they'd play a bit more music intended for queer women and music by queer musicians, but the music they play is still good! It's the only space in Seattle intended for queer women, so don't be surprised when people are protective of that! I find that most of the bad reviews this place gets are people completely misunderstanding the atmosphere of the bar or people not realizing how protecting we have to be of these spaces to keep them open!

Refused to let my friend in, saying her green card isn’t a valid ID. So much for acceptance and diversity!

Great drinks!! Hot women!!! Loved the owner and her dog! Had the absolute best time for my first time! 💜❤️

Taco Tuesday is where it's at! Always have the special veggie taco on Tuesday and cheap Tecate. Usually not too crowded here when I go for some reason. Friendly bar and table service, they are always quick to take care of you.

I stopped in on a Saturday night with my girlfriend and had a great time. Very accepting atmosphere and the dance floor fills up around 10pm. Met several friendly people and had a generally great time. If you're looking for a female centered space to have fun, this is the place to go!

They asked for my ID and vaccination card after the state requirement was dropped. I gave them both but they weren’t satisfied even though I got all 3 of my covid vaccines at CVS. If they have wanted money they would have let me in to spend it. No worries Life on Mars loved me there and I spent a lot of money to support them. Life on Mars is beautiful, go there instead

Me and my girl were celebrating her 21st and not only was security extremely unfriendly and condescending but the atmosphere overall didn’t feel welcoming. The drinks were okay and moderately priced. We constantly got dirty looks and someone even told us the DJ “wanted to see us” just so they could take our table. We went ahead and danced until the DJ started messing up. We were really disappointed and won’t be coming back.

How dare you! The last lesbian bar in the region and you charge a $35 cover. Shame!

If you are a cis man, PLEASE STOP COMING HERE. Gay or not, STOP. This is our ONE SPOT and my god, we are SICK of you randomly approaching us cause you think it’s a safe space. Stop!!! I didn’t come to a lesbian bar for a cis man to come try and get my number. There are TWELVE lesbian bars left in the WHOLE country, PLEASE LET US HAVE OUR SPACE.

I would not recommend unless you fit a certain ‘type’ of lesbian. I was super stoked to be spending a memorable birthday with my partner on a queer vacation only to be disappointed. As a masc nonbinary individual with a non-typical appearance, I was not felt to be welcome. Adversely, I was made to feel very much UNWELCOME, and, excluded to the point that I would want to warn those who border non-typical queer stereotypes as perpetrated by the employees and culture of the WILDROSE. I’m leaving queer Seattle disappointed, but I am made very much aware that there is a lot of work to do about inclusivity within our LGBTQA+ community. How can we make global progress without internal progression? I hope WILDROSE, as one of the FEW remaining lesbian bars, educate staff and community about the expansive limitless love and understanding that IS the FOUNDATION of our community.

Hadn’t been here before, but met an awesome person, J from Chicago. Left with a handshake because I suck at this. Hoping they see this. Ig: @drhysjones.

I finally got to go to Wildrose. The Captain Punch is delicious! Also got the black bean tacos. I was very pleased. The bouncer and bartender were nice. I am going to come again on a weekend when they have the street shut down for more seating.

Lovely place to stop by for a casual meal & people/women watching. Especially if you can snag a window table/seat. Intimate and cozy venue for concerts and other such events too. Staff doesn’t usually feel the need to put up with customer rudeness, so respect will garner you best service. Sit and read, play pool, socialize and even do some cruising. Welcoming to the full range of the Womens’ and Lesbians’ communities, and courteously serves all other (well behaved) other folk too. Evenings, eat, drink, dance and be merry!

The drinks are great, the staff are always friendly and appreciated the gender neutral bathroom. The music is great and a good area to dance.

My friends and I had a wonderful time here, friendly staff and we all enjoyed the drinks and the vibes❤️

Wonderful bar! Super friendly staff, great service. Their newly renovated outdoor seating is so nice! Truly a diamond in terms of Seattle bars.

Friendly staff, drinks were horrible and the place is too small to be a night club and a bar.

My friends and I had a blast here. We were visiting from Sacramento for a few days and spent each night here dancing. I wish we had a bar like this in our gayborhood! The DJ played the best music and the service here was amazing. The bartender Jen was friendly and had a really great vibe.

Everything about Wildrose is phenomenal! the bartenders were amazing, the drinks were delicious, and the thursday karaoke was so fun! definitely felt safe and comfortable there! i’d recommend a dirty shirley with vanilla vodka!

It's a gay establishment - love ❤️ abounds mostly Gay woman's but my Service Dog CashMoney is Gay

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! Kinda lifechanging. A really beautiful place. I don't have any money but one day I'll be a regular here. ❤️

I had a great time here. A place for women to to kick back, relax, and have a good time. Women-owned establishment. They get it right.

This is one of the only true lesbian bars left in America. I remember being invited in by a woman. It’s genuine.

Such a special place of legacy and so much fun! So grateful The Rose has stood the test of time, a pandemic and politics!💗

Is this place always a TERF bar or just some of the time? Was about as friendly as a Chick-fil-A. Bartender skipped my trans partner and tried to ignore her, Door guy repeatedly misgendered both of us, and when my partner went on the dance floor(which was packed) people still moved away from her to form a gap of space around her, so it wasn't all staff. Just another disappointing experience.

Please find a new DJ. I feel like I walk-in to the same song every time I go. We’re queer, play more queer artists…
