Gay bars where dancing is the key to the night almost always play a mixture of modern pop and alternative, techno and house music and the hits from the eighties. R Place shakes things up a little bit so that you can shake your stuff to the latest rap and hip hop sounds without having to sacrifice the social fun of a gay bar. This Seattle bar knows that variety is the spice of life, though there is also plenty of other music and activity to enjoy all throughout the week.
The beginning of the week at R Place is for those people who just want to wind down a little bit after a long weekend. Monday nights feature all night happy hour drinks and pool at no charge. Tuesday nights you can listen to amateur singers do the karaoke thing. By Wednesday night, R Place steps it up with an All Male Underwear Contest and on Thursday night, Tuesday's amateur singers are traded for amateur strippers.
Spend the weekend dancing to the DJ'd music at this gay-owned bar which has been a part of the Seattle scene for more than twenty years. The drinks are strong and the bartenders are hot. Perhaps by the end of a night at R Place, you'll have found someone to take back to your place.
Cool bar - they have some fun events - I like the Wet Parties - it always a perk when I get to see some nearly naked boys! By: Todd on February 16, 2008
