via Stay22About this place Outwest Bar
Outwest Bar in West Seattle is a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender cocktail lounge that feels like a neighborhood living room.
You’ll find it at 5401 California Avenue Southwest, a place where people actually talk to each other. It’s a comfortable spot, the kind that locals visit multiple times a week.
The drinks are straightforward, and the atmosphere is always relaxed. This isn’t a place that tries to be anything it isn’t.
Expect a different event every night: DJs, karaoke, movie screenings, and bingo. So whether you’re after a quiet drink or a full-on singalong, check out their website, outwestbar.com, for the night’s schedule.

Thank you so much to the Out West team for making a great night. Surpber staff, special shout out to Bob at the bar for great conversation and awesome music. Keep up the great work will be back for more soon.
Very cute little social bar ,unique experience and cute things to do every night
Outwest has solidified itself as a staple of the local gay community. I mostly come out for Wednesday night Karaoke which is technically a lesbian night but I've never felt anything but fully welcomed here. The karaoke host is friggin awesome and the regular crowd keep the energy up. Bumper is an excellent bartender and they have a decent selection of booze. This bar is more socially oriented and there are plenty of tables to sit at with your crew. It could be a little cleaner in feel but it's still above the average for a Seattle gay bar.
