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.

Best and safest bar on the hill. Stay away straights. The goth person with the cvnty makeup running the door is always amazing and we never have issues getting in. Some spaces should be gatekept from the finance bros and tradwives. If you are offended by queerness, stay away! Edit: Never had any issues with creeps or spiked drinks. This is a common issue in bars across the country and within cap hill. Watch your drink everywhere.

The staff insult their guests -- extremely rude and disrespect

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.

I love that the people falsely accusing someone of drugging someone have finally found a new place to bring their messiness to. Tuesday nights are actually fun here again.

Used to be a regular here until management decided to be unsafe for their customers. Beware! Find your community elsewhere. :,(

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.

Great drinks, super welcoming atmosphere. The bartender noticed we probably couldn't hold our drinks and brought lemon water to our table. Highly reccomend.

The karaoke is so fun (expect a 1-hour wait during the busy hours though). Also the community is friendly, plenty of kind and cool people having a good time here.

This is a regular haunt for my friends and me. Very queer friendly and unrivaled vibe. If Freddy KOP is spinning you know you are going to get some amazing music and mixes. There's a reason why he travels all over the country to DJ gay events - he's amazing. All the bartending staff are SUPER friendly and fun to chat with. Pony is one of the places I always feel safe and a sense of community.
one of the rudest establishments in seattle, which is saying something. Truly the worst bartenders in the biz

I love you, Pony 💞 Love how gay and trans it is. I feel so safe here. Love the cool events they throw. Staff is always nice and the drinks are great. Also, if you're coming to a queer bar with straight people, yes, you are going to get strange looks cause there are so many other bars but you decide to invade a safe space...

One of the best places in capital hill to get an affordable drink. Jam out and hang with other like minded queers.
A mainly gay bar, but the most welcoming overall queer bar I’ve been to in seattle.
I always hit this bar up when I’m on the strip.
No food tho ! ( or very little )

Disappointing. If you like milling around aimlessly with a drink in your hand you'll like it. But if you want to do anything else like dance or talk to new people you're better off going elsewhere. It sucks because I visited for a monthly DJ event, but I literally walked in, saw how boring it was and walked out.
