R Place

Über diesen Ort 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.
