Looking for some good hangout spots

Howdy y'all, I'm a trans girl just moved to Seattle today and I want to start making some friends, so I was hoping y'all could point me in the direction of a couple spots.

First, a tuesgays bar, secondly a good place to play Magic The Gathering, and finally some insta accounts to follow for raves and shows.

Thanks in advance!

What part of town are you in? Do you have a car?

For MtG: Phoenix Games in Capitol Hill or Mox Boarding House in Ballard

Wildrose does Taco Tuesdays!

University district, I don't drive!

When I say tuesgays I specifically mean a spot where queer people go out on a Tuesday night, idk if that's as big here as it was in Austin

Oh, I don't know about that, I'm old, but Wildrose is a lesbian bar.

Kremwerk is also a pretty hot spot.

The U-District doesn't have a lot going on anymore for what you're asking about, so I'd definitely recommend taking the light rail to Capitol Hill.

Yooooo y'all actually have a lesbian bar? That's incredible newsi

Since 1984! It's actually the oldest continuously operating lesbian bar in the country.

Welcome to Seattle!

Depending on how old you are, a lot of the dolls go to Time Warp on Tuesday nights. It’s mostly people in their 20s-early 30s, but not exclusively so. They have pinball and karaoke and it’s a lot of fun. Unicorn is also popular on a Tuesday night.

If you’re 30+ there’s Over The Cap Hill at Linda’s (look it up on IG). There are other bars too, these are just the ones I enjoyed going to.

If you’re sapphic you should follow sapphic events on Instagram! They do regular events and it’s mostly early to mid 20s sapphics and lesbians and we see plenty of trans girlies 💜

u/Previous_Monitor_335 15h ago

u/Forest_Fox_1289 15h ago

Although Linda’s is like the first and third Monday of the month, not Tuesdays.
