Queer/Bar Gets Summer Refresh | Seattle News

Queer/Bar is getting a stylish summer refresh under new ownership, with Scott Walent and Dustin Akers taking the reins after the previous owners stepped away. The bar will close briefly in July for a light renovation focused on enhancing flexibility for events and improving the overall vibe — no major overhaul, just smarter, more comfortable spaces. While the core mission stays the same — championing local drag, live performances, and queer community — the kitchen is reopening with a fresh menu, and the team is actively hiring and collaborating with local artists. Expect beloved events like karaoke and trivia to return, plus a renewed commitment to being a vibrant hub for connection and culture. This isn’t a reinvention — it’s a recommitment to what makes Queer/Bar special. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
