The Cuff Complex

Dancing · Karaoke · Seattle, WA

About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Fri, Sat, Sun

The first thing you'll notice walking into The Cuff Complex is the mix of ages and types, from 20-somethings to 40-plus, from bears to twinks. It's a roomy nightclub with a pool table, outdoor seating, and strong pours that keep the energy up until 2am every night.

Happy hour runs weekdays from 4pm, and karaoke nights pull a lively crowd. Regulars come for the no-attitude vibe and the after-hours feel that extends into the weekend. It's less exclusive than some of the other Capitol Hill gay bars, which is exactly why it works.

Located in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, known for its concentration of LGBTQ+ bars and nightlife.

From the community

“Most relaxed gay club in Seattle”

I'm not sure, but even though it's the Cuff, it feels more inclusive than Rplace or Neighbors. I miss the old Lobby, but the Cuff is still a good time.

“Loves”

Loved it.

“Awesome”

The first time I went I kept looking for a reason not to like it, and I came up with 'the scene wasn't for me'. A year later I understand that was me being closed-minded. If you're not like that, you'll love this bar.

“Not what it used to be!”

It's not the masculine butch bar it used to be when it was only a small leather bar upstairs, but it's still a fun spot to hang out and observe people. I really miss the old dark Dog Run and everything that went on there.

From over a year ago. Have a drink or two for Omar and me! Cheers!
