    Been here multiple times, the karoke singers that seem like regular can carry a toon, which is a plus to the friendly staff and atmosphere. Good gay bar. Yet to try the food, but the prices seem fair. They do Karaoke Wed, Sun & those nights, NO FOOD!

    Bartender

    Fun longtime established Gay Bar, Took a friend visiting from out of state. Waited at the bar to order a drink and the bartender never acknowledged that I was there for 10 minutes. There was only five other people in the bar so he was not busy. Than two other regulars came in and he served them. Really disappointed. Go to the bar only when this bartender is not working. Sad to see this when bars are still struggling, especially Queer bars.

    *Tiny* dive bar with reasonably-priced strong drinks and a welcoming atmosphere. Friendly patrons and staff and worth a visit!

    OK, so me and my friends were looking for karaoke. We had a few places that failed but we found a…read moregreat LGBTQ bar that welcomes everybody. We thought it was odd that there was a five dollar cover charge, but we went ahead and paid it. It was card only so we went and we got our drinks. It was very busy very packed. All is welcome great ambience we were even lucky enough to get a seat. Well within 15 minutes of coming and sitting down with our drinks we realize that later on in the evening, it was a drag queen karaoke. It was amazing. We had a great time. We just wish we would've brought more singles for the tips. We definitely come back to this place and bring friends I really like the ambience how everyone is welcome here it is street parking but it was a real safe feeling environment and everyone was super friendly and the drag queens and their karaoke and they're singing and their performances were all super on point and amazing. I can't wait to go back and bring more friends And singles for the tips.

Of course I went on Yelp like always do and checked out all the reviews and I saw so many bad ones... that sucks that so many people have had bad experiences and maybe I just got lucky. I walked in around 1800-1900 and it wasn't busy but wasn't dead either. The bartenders were nice and made conversation while I had a couple beers. I went outside and ended up meeting some people and had some more conversation. They seemed like regulars but we're pretty welcoming not all of them in the group but most of them. I would say the place is semi clicky but I expect that from WA gays lol. The bar is semi small and has a lower deck area where they host karaoke every night and drag shows. They don't have a dance floor which is fine by me because i clearly am not a dancer. If you want a chill dive bar to go to I would say this place will do. I went by myself and knew no one and I still managed to have a good time. I would go back in the future when im in TCM again.

Before going, I decided to email Wildrose to ask if cross-dressers were welcome, and they promptly and reassuringly responded, confirming that I would be absolutely accepted and made to feel comfortable. From the moment I stepped through the door, the atmosphere was simply enchanting; the energy was palpable, and everyone was so incredibly friendly and welcoming. I was also pleased to find that the drinks were reasonably priced, which made the evening even more enjoyable. I truly felt completely at ease and accepted, and I had an absolutely incredible time. The entire experience was nothing short of fantastic, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Wildrose to anyone, regardless of their background or identity. The service was outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a memorable evening. They genuinely made my first outing a resounding success, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Thank you to everyone at Wildrose for creating such a safe, inclusive, and unforgettable space.

No warning, no conversation, nothing during this visit to prompt it. I had asked the bartender whether a staff member still worked there because my wife hadn't wanted to return after the previous visit. That's the extent of any provocation. I updated this review to address the owner's response -- that's not a story changing, that's a reply. The situation at the neighboring bar was this same Westy manager threatening to fight me and making false accusations that my wife had assaulted her in front of other patrons. The bartender there told her to sit down -- closing out the single unknown patron to defuse a situation caused by a known regular is just crowd management, not a verdict on my behavior. Notably, the owner claims they can't speak to events at the neighboring bar -- yet somehow knows I was cashed out there. The bartender at the Westy that night was genuinely fine. The management style is the problem.
