Sugarpill Culinary Mercantile Apothecary
At this LGBTQ-owned herbal medicine store, peruse the tinctures, tonics, lotions, and caplets while learning about how the AIDs crisis irrevocably altered the owner's life.
Pony
This strange-looking "shack" previously housed a gas station, a flower shop, and now Capitol Hill's top gay nightclub.
The Wildrose Bar
Wildrose, the only exclusively lesbian pub in Seattle, was one of the first establishments to come out as LGBTQ with front-facing windows and bold signs when it initially opened in 1985.
Unicorn
In addition to serving distinctive meals inspired by carnivals, this whimsically themed bar launched in 2010 and frequently features cabaret and drag performances. Try the "Americorn," a blue raspberry and bubblegum vodka cocktail.
The Cuff Complex
The Cuff Complex, which debuted in 1993 as a little "leather bar," is THE destination to enjoy Seattle's LGBTQ nightlife. You might even find a brand-new kink.
