About this place R Place

R Place is the Capitol Hill bar that most visitors will find first and most approachable: a three-floor venue on Pine Street with multiple bar areas, a dance floor, regular drag shows, and the kind of mixed, welcoming atmosphere that serves as the gateway to Seattle's LGBTQ+ scene for first-timers. The venue is large by Capitol Hill standards — the three floors mean that each level can function differently, with a sports bar feel on one floor, a more intimate lounge on another, and the main event space and dance floor handling the performance and high-energy programming. Weekend drag shows are a consistent draw; the rotating roster of Seattle performers keeps the programming fresh. The crowd is broad: gay men, lesbians, trans patrons, allies, visitors from outside Seattle who want the full gay bar experience — R Place contains multitudes. The Pine Street location is at the exact heart of the Pike/Pine corridor, making it the natural hub of a Capitol Hill bar crawl.

I went here with a group of friends. One of them was very pregnant but was just trying to spend time with us. The bouncer in the photo I posted pushed her on the stairwell in order to make room for someone else to pass, a model of some kind, even though they could have just been patient and let her finish walking. There was no call for such physical abuse against a pregnant woman. My friend and I talked to the head of security and they scoffed at us. Never again will I go here and I hope no one else ever will either after this experience. Also, their music selection sucks, FYI.

I order a white Russian here on Sunday night at 930 they charged me 1450 and the glass wasn't even full. My friend ordered a vocka cran which was top self velvetter and was charged 1650 for a total of 2750 Never been charged that in my lifetime for two drinks. The bartender said that they were doubles. Never been charged double price for a single white Russian. The most I have ever paid was 800. As for the vocka cran which was poured a single shot have never been charged double price. For as I'm concerned I think I got ripe off here.

Total let down! The tall dancer was so HURT and got off the stage to ask everyone for tips because he wasn’t getting enough according to his expectations! TRAGIC!

This place is overrated and a total let down. Been here a million times and had the best time... tonight, not so much. Go anywhere else...please! Also, the tall “dancer” is as a pressed as a panini 🙄
