About Pony

Pony in Seattle is a unique and inclusive spot with a refreshing vibe. The staff have great taste in music and the ambience is always top-notch. It's a great place for those who are sure of themselves or still figuring things out. The small space has outdoor seating with a fire pit and is welcoming to all queer individuals. The bar is known for reasonable drink prices and Karaoke Tuesday, making it a fun spot to meet new people and have meaningful conversations away from the typical bar scene. However, visitors should be cautious with their drinks, as there have been reports of spikings and sexual assault, which is a concern shared by others across bars in the city. Despite this, many feel Pony is one of the best and safest bars on the hill, especially for the queer community, with welcoming staff and a space that caters to diverse groups.

While it might the "dive" appeal to hang around this bar, you'll quickly pick up on inferior attitude by the staff, particularly Ben and Anouk...

I've even been 86'd by this bar once. In particular because I got into an argument with Ben.

I later attempted to make things right, and was even told by Anouk-the bar manager, that "all was forgiven" and I was now permitted to go to Pony.

Two weeks later, upon trying to appease the bar staff, was met with attitude...read full review
