About this place The Red Hot
The Red Hot is a small bar on 6th Avenue in Tacoma that serves hot dogs and sausages with a long, rotating list of craft beers on tap. It is a mainstream neighbourhood bar, not a gay bar, but it is known locally as gay-friendly and draws a mixed crowd. Google reviewers rate it 4.7 from about 2,650 reviews.
The 6th Avenue strip has a row of bars and restaurants, so it is easy to combine with other stops. Space is limited and it fills up on weekend evenings. Tacoma's dedicated gay bars, such as Devil's Reef, are a short drive away.
