About 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.

The best time to go is around 10pm! Safe and great atmosphere, amazing drinks and slushies (I recommend the Heated Rivalry), and decent DJ. $5 cover charge, so be prepared!

I’ve never felt so safe and had so much fun at a bar in my life. DJ Mixx America had the crowd going all night. Tried all of the slushes and loved every one, especially the Hello Klitty. Celebrating Pride with my community was something I will remember forever and I cannot wait to go back!

Unfortunately a bit of a dead space. There was barely anyone there when we went. There was no music and the atmosphere was very somber. We were asked to leave early because we were talking too loudly about lesbian sex, so it's kind of ironic to be kicked out of a lesbian bar for that. But on the other hand, the bartender was super cute and the drinks were good/fun. So maybe just sit in the corner quietly and very nun-like.

Best bar ever! Everyone was rocking out to the DJ. Amazing atmosphere; we loved that the L-Word was on in the background. Very queer and very safe. Best music was around 10pm.

So cold. I went on a Tuesday night and I was freezing. Not sure if they don't have a heater or don't run it or were, but it doesn't do anything? Basic bar. Decent atmosphere. I like all the art they have up and the chairs were pretty comfortable. Decent vibe. I'd be interested to see how it was on a weekend with dancing and more people. Drinks were on the smaller side (lots of ice) but pricey.
