Seattle Gay Cruise Clubs

C.C. Attle's (often just called "CC's") is one of Seattle's longest-running gay bars, serving the community since 1989. CC's offers a comfortable dive bar atmosphere - it's particularly popular with bears and older patrons.

CC's serves as an important alternative to the more dance-focused or trendy establishments in Capitol Hill. It provides a more laid-back option for those seeking conversation and community in a less intense setting. The bar has maintained its identity as a specifically gay establishment rather than marketing itself more broadly as some newer venues have done.

The Seattle Eagle is a much-loved institution. Seattle Eagle, or simply The Eagle, is a gay bar located in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. It's an LGBT-owned establishment that caters to the leather subculture and is the city's oldest leather bar.

The Eagle has a long history in Seattle. The original owners took over a mid-century lounge called Le Chateau in 1980, later renaming it J&L Saloon with a stylized eagle on the sign and the motto "DARE TO BE DIFFERENT."

The Seattle Eagle hosts regular events, including underwear night, seasonal events, and makeup parties (held every third Friday at 9 PM).  Historically, the venue has hosted theme nights such as "Underbear", "Vibrator", and "Western", as you'd expect from an Eagle venue.
