Wild Rose Bar
Nestled in the vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, The Wildrose stands out not just as a bar, but as a cherished institution within the LGBTQ+ community. Celebrated as the oldest lesbian bar in the United States, The Wildrose has been serving the queer community since its inception on New Year's Eve 1984. This iconic venue has not only withstood the test of time but has evolved to meet the needs of its patrons while preserving its rich heritage and inclusive ethos. In the face of challenges, including the dire impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Wildrose demonstrated resilience and adaptability. A crowdfunding effort underscored the community's support, raising significant funds to help keep the bar afloat during these uncertain times. This act of collective backing highlights The Wildrose's vital role as a safe haven and social hub for the LGBTQ+ community in Seattle. The bar's offerings have expanded over the years to include a diverse menu crafted by new chef Mahogany Williams, featuring traditional bar bites alongside more inventive fare. This culinary refresh, aimed at enhancing the overall guest experience, signifies the owners' dedication to creating a welcoming space where patrons can enjoy good food, engaging events, and each other's company
