Unicorn

Top choice in Seattle


Even if Unicorn's circus theme doesn't exactly tickle your fancy, its commitment to the spectacle makes it worth a visit. Cocktails like the Cereal Killer (made with Fruit Loop–flavored vodka) hark back to the joys of giant lollipops and cotton candy, while the colorful explosion of decoration and pinball machine collection are likely to make even hardened cynics smile.

Check the website for events like drag bingo, cabaret shows and all manner of trivia nights.
