Walking into Unicorn feels like stepping into a technicolor circus fever dream. The décor is a maximalist fantasy – think carousel animals mounted on walls, vintage circus posters, candy-colored striped walls, and enough taxidermy to make you do a double-take. Every inch of the space celebrates the weird and wonderful, making it an Instagram paradise before Instagram was even a thing.

The main floor (Unicorn) offers a lively bar scene with pinball machines and carnival-inspired comfort food. Their famous "Unicorn Balls" (deep-fried mac and cheese balls) and "Narwhal Balls" (jalapeño hush puppies) are must-tries, while their over-the-top cocktails come in colors you didn't know existed in nature.

Venture downstairs to the Narwhal Bar for an even more intimate space featuring additional games, a small dance floor, and a slightly darker, moodier vibe that still maintains the whimsical theme.

Located just a short walk from other popular Capitol Hill gay spots like Neighbours and R Place, Unicorn makes an ideal starting point for exploring Seattle's gay nightlife scene.
