R Place (Closed Permanently)

Don't bother is right

This club used to cater to the twink and mild hip hop/pop crowd with an atmosphere that catetred to the more wealthy business class gay crowd. Now it's turned into jerks r us they are not friendly and nor are they attractive. I went there just last week to find nothing but some stupid wannabe thugs that seemed like they popped out of the movie American Gangster all while playing music that had no beat. The bartenders were the second rudest people I have ever met and they made me a drink with cheap alcohol at the most expensive pice I have ever bought a drink for. Their shows went down the crapper when they brought the california style here as It mostly caters to illlegal immigrants. Stay away from R place it's a scam besides most of the men in there act and look like women literally they really should just redecorate and call it a straight bar but that would be stupid as the gay people would mingle with the straight crowd and cause fights and more controversy to Seattle's already growing problem with street crime. Yes r place is a screwed up place now for the gay community I went there for halloween 2010 people were extremely rude, drinks watered down and expensive, the go go dancers gave me dirty looks and danced in a rude fashion that made me feel uncomfortable and molested thus insenuated that I was a paedofile as they made physical references to how children would look like if they were forced to work as sex workers.

Don't go there

Every couple of years I visit Seattle, one of my favorite cities and have always stopped in at R-Place. Not again. This place has really changed. Granted I am no young stud (anymore), but I stopped in last night (10/28) to check it out and have a couple of drinks. What a big stuck up crowd. The bartender was a snob. Any idiot would clearly see that I was sitting alone at the bar and you would think the bartender would at least say hi and welcome me. No way. The bar was full of a bunch of guys that sat around posing. Drinks were overpriced and a poor pour. And they dared to charge a cover on a Thursday night. Not again R-Place. I went back to my hotel and watched a movie and enjoyed myself much more. Waste of time to visit.

Trendy, Hip & Twink Haven

With multi stories, regular contests of karaoke and other as well as a hot softball team, R Place is a great gay bar on Capitol Hill. In fact Seattle Out & Proud tends to host their events here. They regularly show popular games here on the big screens and most recently began hosting Glee viewing parties during the current season.

Don't Bother

Over crowded, rude staff!, expensive cover, and over priced drinks! Save yourself some money and go to neighbours!

Used to be great....

...then it became a seedy Hip-Hop palace for gay little gangsta wanna-be's......
