R Place (Closed Permanently)

Ugly Duckling Syndrome

So, if you go to Seattle and don't hook up, it's because you're stupid. Seattle boys aren't picky and on top of that, they're tonz of fun! I go out in Seattle often and always find myself having a better time there than I do sometimes in San Francisco because the boys aren't pretentious. I think it's because they don't know just how hot they are. The alcohol sucks! Over priced drinks and way too much for a cover price as well, however, it's kind of a destination so I guess they can charge what they want! I enjoy it, and will continue to!!!

It's an interesting vibe!

When I lived in Seattle this was my main hangout. Between the Thursday night amature strip nights and the weekend hip - hop get downs how can you honestly go wrong. Now saying that, since I moved to San Francisco and going back to RPlace I feel a bit out of place. I feel it's not a homey and fun loving as it used to be. When my partner and I went we got some evil looks from patrons, like we cared but it made us think a bit. Maybe it's because we looked so yummy but what'ev! All in all the place is still fun and crowded. The music is hip - hop so don't freak out if you here "get low" and everybody drops to the floor. Ohh and the drinks are well worth the price.

$7 cover charge?

Multi-level, young-ish and trendy, but $7 to walk in the door? I don't think so.

Won't be back

First time in my life that I was told to remove my glasses to order a drink. While the staff where not totally rude, we certainly did not feel welcome. My first gay visit to Seattle gets a thumbs down. Will try another bar next time. The strong drinks where the best thing about rplace.

Loved it!

I went there with some family from out of town. R place was really great. The drinks were good and cheap and the bartenders were so friendly. We had a great time and the place itself had a really chill vibe to it. Considering it was a tuesday night the place was pretty busy. I'll be coming back for sure!
