Pony

Friendly bar staff and locals. It was a Sunday afternoon and they had a brilliant DJ spinning some tunes.

I do show a couple doors down from this place and several of my friends do shows at Pony. Always a good time there. It's an interesting, very narrow triangle layout but with a big patio. A photo booth, plenty of cruising, and bonus glory hole in the bathroom.

Went with a friend on a Monday night, it was pretty empty aside from like two other tables of folks. I enjoyed the music they played and I was kind of shocked by the amount of nude pin up pictures on the wall but it is a gay bar after all, the drinks were reasonably priced (and quite strong ooh-wee!) Would recommend trying at least once

Pros: -Cheap drinks. -Crowd is interesting and sometimes very fun. Interesting bar atmosphere. Neutral: -Lots of gay porn and suggestive decor. Very typical "Loud and Proud" type of LGBTQ+ bar. A pro or con depending on who you are. Cons: -Very small venue. -Extremely overcrowded some nights (tuesday, for example). -Is most certainly a "Seattle Dive" bar. Not the worst dive I've been too, but it's certainly grimy. -Way too hot, all the time. -Only two to three bartenders on busy nights and there can be a massive drink line. -Known issue with people ***spiking*** drinks. In fact, my first time here my first drink was drugged. No one ever seems to be doing anything other than spiking the drinks for some sort of weird entertainment of watching people be intoxicated and under the influence. If you feel way too drunk here, way too fast, it's time to stop drinking, let a friend know, plan a way home, and be prepared for a terrible hangover the next day. I really want to like this place. I personally have had good times here, even with the above in question—however I simply can't rate it more than 2 stars, despite my own good times here. It's what you make of it, and it can be fun—but objectively, its two out of five. There's a lot wrong.

Pony is my fav bar In town. The bartenders are friendly and respectful. The place is also chill I have never witnessed not even an argument.
