About this place Liberty

Liberty, a gay bar on 15th Avenue East, has been pouring drinks for Seattle's LGBTQ+ crowd since 2006. It's a proper cocktail bar, with bartenders shaking drinks to order, plus a good selection of spirits, beer, and wine.

If you're after a loud party, look elsewhere. This place is more for settling in. The vibe is friendly, not frantic, and the drinks are well made. It feels like a neighborhood spot, the kind of place regulars lean into their second cocktail.

They also do sushi, which means you can make a whole night of it without moving. The focus here is on good ingredients and careful craft, whether it's a gin fizz or a California roll.

Seattle has plenty of gay bars. Liberty's niche is the relaxed, drinks-first experience. Stop in for a well-made drink and some conversation. Check their site for hours or what's on.

I've been dreaming about the Black Walnut Old Fashion since my friend visited and ordered it about a year ago. Finally found myself in the neighborhood last weekend and I'm so glad I stopped by for one. It was the little heaven I had dreamed of. 11/10

Wonderful food, drinks, and very awesome staff! One of my favorite places to bring friends. I was surprised to see they made my favorite drink, Caipirinha. I’ve been to Brazil many times and have had this drink at least a thousand times throughout my life. This was hands down the worst caipirinha I have ever had. It was bitter, the cachaca they used was pretty subpar, and the ratio of sugar, cachaca, and limes were very off. I politely brought up that I think the ratio might be off and got immediate very aggressive tude from the bar tender. They were very visible offended that I even suggested it was made wrong. They might just been having a bad day and this is the first of many drinks I’ve had here that had been made wrong, so I’ll let it slide. Still highly recommend, just maybe avoid this drink haha.

Nice staff, good sushi, fun cocktails. What more could I want? Btw, try the Ube Thurman! Sweet and creamy fruity drink. Kind of looks like a dragonfruit.
