About this place WILDROSE

The Wildrose, a Capitol Hill staple since 1984, is one of the few remaining lesbian bars in the United States. At 1021 East Pike Street the bar still feels like the place it was when it opened: a narrow, dimly lit room where queer women have gathered for four decades. The crowd is unmistakably queer‑female, though the door is open to anyone who steps inside. Patrons repeatedly note the staff’s friendliness, drinks that are solid if unpretentious, and a dance floor that feels more like a cleared‑out hallway than a club. The restrooms are gender‑neutral, a small but welcome detail in a city that still debates signage. Official hours list only Friday and Saturday nights, 9 p.m. – 2 a.m., when a DJ spins and the floor fills. The bar sometimes slips open on other nights, so it’s worth checking thewildrosebar.com for the latest schedule, karaoke nights, and special events.

The best time to go is around 10pm! Safe and great atmosphere, amazing drinks and slushies (I recommend the Heated Rivalry), and decent DJ. $5 cover charge, so be prepared!

I’ve never felt so safe and had so much fun at a bar in my life. DJ Mixx America had the crowd going all night. Tried all of the slushes and loved every one, especially the Hello Klitty. Celebrating Pride with my community was something I will remember forever and I cannot wait to go back!

Was incredibly disappointed to see the bouncers let in multiple groups of (assumed) cis men. They took up most of the dance floor and I watched them try and flirt with clearly lesbian woman. I felt a bit uncomfortable and super disappointed being in that space with so many men after hearing about and being excited about a lesbian bar in my area. There are so few lesbian bars in the entire US but of course men need to take up the small spaces lesbian woman have for themselves. Bartenders are kind and the drinks were good.
