About this place The Mix

Located at 635 St Helens Ave in Tacoma, The Mix is a gay bar that offers an alternative to larger, more high-energy venues. What sets this spot apart is its commitment to creating genuine community connection through an intimate setting. The smaller size means you're more likely to have real conversations and feel genuinely welcomed rather than just passing through a crowd. The bar is known for its good vibes and quality drinks, making it a solid choice for an evening out. A standout feature is the karaoke setup, which gives visitors a fun, interactive way to be part of the night's entertainment. Whether you're a karaoke enthusiast or someone who enjoys watching others have a good time, this is a space where the atmosphere tends to bring people together rather than divide them. As an established LGBTQ+ venue in Tacoma, The Mix serves as a welcoming gathering space for queer travelers and locals alike. The emphasis on creating a friendly atmosphere in an intimate setting makes it worth a visit if you're looking for an authentic local experience rather than a massive club scene.

I didn't try the food, but the drinks were strong, major plus. The bartender was great and fast. Only issue I had was a $5 cover charge at the door. Understandably, thats not much but they didn't have any karaoke, bands playing or shows, so I didn't really understand why our group had to pay just to go in.. there was good music playing.. couples could clearly be comfortable making out at the bar 😆. Not my kind of place, but enjoyable for my first time.

Not a safe space for people of color. Plus too many straight people making out 🙄
