WILDROSE

(34 Ratings)
Seattle's oldest lesbian bar

Seattle's longest-running lesbian bar and one of the only remaining lesbian-specific bars in the U.S. But don’t worry, cool dudes can drink here, too. Founded in 1985, The Wildrose Bar offers a cheap drink, ahem, Taco Tuesdays, and popular block parties particularly hyped around Pride.

Loved will go back

A very friendly atmosphere. Bartenders and waitresses are very friendly. Doesn't really matter what time you go, the crowd is great. Prices a reasonable even for someone for a small town like me.

What happened......

If you are over the age of 30, not the place to meet for a drink except in the early afternoon. Gay men be warned, this is not the place for you. I met a friend and he was most uncomfortable after received some not so nice stares from the other patrons when he walked in. The food is good, the wait staff are always nice, but if you are over 30 or 40 and want a place to meet a friend for a drink be it male or female after 9:00 don't go to the Rose...mostly the young crowd who are not overly welcoming.

STUDS NIGHT OUT

Wildrose is a great place for the hommies to hang out. Great selection of music on the jukebox and of course as all us "studs" know there's gotta be a pool table there for us to hang out. Decent food, strong drinks and great atmosphere. Easy to find and kinda industrial sitting meets CHEERS.
