    This place is a nice lil Spokane Gem. Cheap drinks and yummy food and there's always some type of entertainment happening. I will say, there are some issues with parking and in order to provide enough FREE parking spaces for low income residents living above the bar and the buildings associated. There is paid parking to the left of the building just make sure you pay for enough hours or you most likely will come out with a $40something ticket. There also is a bit more houseless individuals around this area. I personally dont mind and I've never seen an incident but just so you are aware. Now back to the bar, super great vibes and welcoming queer environment. We went in on a Wednesday night and there were some individuals playing covers on the stage and anyone was welcome to join which was great. It felt like true community lives in that place. I actually dont think this bar has a unisex bathroom which would be the only reason I would personally take off a star but I won't because there's still so much positive about this bar.

    this place is so much fun I cant even start to put into words. there is no private parking but there is public parking across the street. we took a cab so we could drink, we be safe that way :D this is a all kind of love bar, you will find straight, gay and everything in between here and it is awesome! the drinks were great and at a great value and the bartenders were so friendly and fun. there is plenty of sitting If you come in early and there is plenty of dancing going all around, the vibe here is insane! the music gets you going all night we did not stop dancing. we came back here twice because this place was that good. come in early to avoid cover charge and the lines cause there are major lines to get in here after 10pm. keep in mind that they do sell food here too, we didn't try it but they look like some bar food that you can munch on if you must, the prices are pretty good too for the food. I will love to come back here when I have the chance.

    I really enjoy nYne. A bar in what could be a less-than-desirable location (right across the street from the Greyhound station on a block with little else that's open) manages to be quirky, cool, and inviting. Set up in an old garage, they open the garage door to expand onto an open patio when its warm. There is an indoor basketball court (yes, really), nice tables, a pool table, and a generally cozy and kind of hip feeling. nYne isn't technically a gay bar, but it IS a women's sports bar, which means that a variety of people are welcome. When a drunk man was hassling a table of my (queer, female) friends and I, the bouncer made it very clear that women's comfort and safety was important at nYne. Which was awesome, since that hasn't been a feeling I've had at other gay bars in Spokane (DEMPSEYS) or other queer bars in the world. I've only had appetizers here, but they were always delicious. The drinks are good and the servers are (mostly, with one exception) friendly. Kitty, the owner, is around a lot. If you see her, tell her what a great job she's doing. nYne is a welcome addition to the Spokane nightlife.

    Gluten Free Options: Yes! Two tasty GF beers. Bathrooms: Gendered multiple stall. I'm from out of town, and stumbled on this gem of a bar while exploring what downtown Spokane had to offer. The place was hopping with a benefit for the tsunami relief efforts in Japan, but still felt spacious and open. When going up to the bar and asking if they had any gluten-free beer options - a question which is often met with a blank stare - and was told I had my choice of two beers, which is a damn sight better than most places I've been to. All bemused, I wandered over to the comfy leather couch and seated myself to watch the crowd and live music. I noted a roomy dance floor, though the only person on it was the representative Interpretive Dancing Guy who was a blast to watch. I especially loved the fact that nYne has not one but two stages, making the transition time from live band to live band negligible. I've produced my share of shows, and this kind of flexibility is invaluable for keeping a live lineup going smoothly. The crowd was nicely mixed, which was a refreshing change from the Straightlandia that is Spokane. While I am a Spokane native, I live in a queer bubble in the city I now call home, so it was pretty great to not feel like the resident freak in the bar. I didn't get a chance to check out the menu, but will definitely be back during the week to see what options are available. This is one bar that I hope lives long and prospers.

    The Club Wrap! (Might I suggest the chips with it, they are awesome!)

    This has really blossomed into a great place to eat and have a few drinks. The atmosphere in there is really laid back, and has a somewhat "beatnic" feel to it. The food was excellent, and the drinks were equal. Some of the staff can be somewhat snooty...

    I wasn't sure what to expect from this place. Its in a strange location, but when you walk inside you are pleasantly surprised. The decor is nice and relaxed, and almost rather fancy looking -- even the bathrooms. The service was friendly, the happy hour apps (flatbread and caesar salad) were tasty, and the price was not bad. Beer and drinks very good. We got there at the beginning of happy hour so there weren't many people, but you can tell the vibe there is pleasant. I just hope they play the WNBA games there! Go Storm!

    You will have to get on the dance floor Cause the vibe is contagious in here the tunes are thumping and the spirits are flowing. The feeling of you have found yourself is here

The whole atmosphere is dark, cozy, moody, and feels more like a hidden lounge than a typical downtown bar. Between the lighting, music, books, and dramatic cocktail menus, the vibe alone makes the place worth visiting. We tried the espresso martini, Painkiller, and Bloody Verde. The espresso martini was smooth and easy to drink without being overly sweet, and the Painkiller had that creamy tropical flavor that somehow still worked with the darker speakeasy atmosphere. Keeping it honest though, the Bloody Verde just wasn't for me personally. I can still appreciate the creativity behind it, but the flavor combo just didn't match my taste buds. That being said, if you like savory spicy cocktails, you'd probably feel very differently about it. Service was friendly, drinks came out looking great, and the music really tied the whole experience together. Definitely feels like one of Spokane's more unique cocktail spots if you want something moodier and more relaxed.
