About this place The Seattle Lesbian

The Seattle Lesbian (TSL) is an online news and culture magazine based in Seattle, covering lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender news and opinion. It is a publication, not a place you can visit, and the opening hours and reviews attached to this listing do not belong to it. Check the website to see whether it is still publishing before relying on it for current events. For what's on in Seattle's LGBTQ+ scene, Capitol Hill is the main neighbourhood, and the Seattle Gay News has long been the city's LGBTQ+ newspaper.

Institutional problems.....have a non-welcoming policy for immigrants, justified by a laminated sheet of paper that the management arbitrarily has put up. All other bars on the street are welcoming and accept IDs. Having a "ICE OUT" sign and doing all this is just comical.

Terrible rude service…. “Friendly” not so much. The bartender was super cool, he should go to somewhere that shows his worth.

Great fun bar, good dance music, excellent outside parklet space for when it's hot out loud inside. We were visiting and only had one night in town but I'm super glad we spent it here!

Would be better if men felt less comfortable being here. Full on cis men and straight women who bring them come here and make the place worse for the lesbian crowd.

Each time I go to this bar I'm a bit more disappointed. The last two times there were a bunch of men in there, even though it's a lesbian bar, therefore, ruining the entire vibe of the place and making it no longer a safe place. One of the things that upsent me the most though is I was there last night and it was going well until I went to go back inside. The girl at the front taking the money for the cover charge was talking to another employee and I smiled at her and flashed her the stamp on my wrist and kept walking in. Apparently she didn't see the stamp and instead of saying something to me like a normal person, she grabbed a fistful of my shawl as I walked by. Not even lightly. I was walking and when she grabbed it I felt it yank against me And against my throat because it was a heavy shawl that hangs off of your shoulders and neck, not an actual coat. Absolutely not okay to put your hands on people like that.

I usually love coming here but lately everytime I go there are literal whole teams of men. Idk why security is letting them in. Its a girl bar for a reason.

I really wish the weekend bouncer would stop making comments to the community (e.g. gay males) It's disheartening that you are reminded this isn't a "gay" bar and don't feel welcome. They have an all gender restroom and it sucks to feel like the community (myself) and many of my friends want to support Wild Rose and you are reprimanded for being an ally. The very history of inclusion and acceptance should be respected for all identities. This is the third or fourth experience I've had with the same bouncer and it really sucks to not feel included in a community that is suppose to be a safe place for people like me.
