Pony

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.

This has been a favorite spot for my tribe on a Sunday afternoon. Great DJs, great drinks and service. Popular with all age groups. I really like their outdoor deck. The deck is covered, so even if the weather is bad, it's still a great place to sit. The interior is pretty eclectic, centering on a queer porn motif. Very appropriate for the place, but may both those faint of heart. Prices are reasonable and it's a really fun atmosphere.

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.

Pony is hands down the queerest bar i have ever attended and i have a lot of fond memories of it, but be very careful with your drinks while there. Pony has a reputation for spikings and SA. I thought i was being diligent enough to not get spiked but it still happened to me in January. Sounds like I’m not the only one its happened to.

It was alright but it's mainly a gay bar and the bathroom was really gross, to the point where I didn't use it. Was there for a goth event but it didn't really have that vibe I was looking for.

I looked for a staff member to talk to about this but I couldn’t find one during the drag show so I’m posting this. I’m a muscle gay and I wore a crop top. I was ordering a drink at the bar and a guy standing next to the bar started feeling me up on the sides. I was clear and upset (tho didn’t yell) to not touch me. I don’t know if he was the bartenders friend or what but the bartender got mad at ME. He yelled at me to not to not do his job. Like I’m not supposed to tell the tipsy guy immediately not to touch me. I’m pissed. Don’t know how a gay bar in Seattle can support guys feeling people up without consent.
