    a band performing on stage
    Laura P.

    I was in town for a Pride wedding and came here with a group of friends and family as the afterparty. I absolutely LOVE the vibe here and felt really at home. All the staff were awesome and there is such a welcoming feel all around. This was my first ever time to see a Drag show, and it was so much fun! All the performers did such a great job. Everyone was having a great time and it showed. The drinks were excellent and the chips and salsa were absolutely delicious!!! I am so glad that I decided to go with our group, I was a little apprehensive at first, as I only recently publicly came out. This was my second visit to a gay friendly bar, and it was by far much better than the first time. I found my extended family when I visited Spokane.

    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!

An inverted escape room where it's a a bit challenging to get in (given that the bar is mostly hidden behind a bookcase), but once you're in, you want to stay. The gentleman at the bar was friendly and very knowledgeable about the many spirits they offer. It's a great date night spot, or to just hang out and enjoy the ambiance.

    In classic speakeasy fashion, this dark "craft beverage" bar (not JUST whiskey bar...according to…read morethe tender on duty) is tucked neatly behind a bookshelf within a storefront that lacks outer signage. You could easily (and maybe have...) walk past it and not even know. I found my way in and was faced with a dark room and a wonderfully lit display of liquors. They infuse many of their own and offer flights of infused whiskeys. The drink menu has options that feature many different spirits. I chose a gin and citrus drink that was a wonderful blend of bitter and refreshing. I made myself sip it slowly, but it was tasty enough that I could have thrown it back. The bar tender was friendly and attentive, as well as knowledgeable. The room seemed to be recovering from the recent Hoopfest...there were coolers and some things in the back of the space. There were also a LOT of bottles on the counter behind the bar. I don't know if it is always like this, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely go back for the drink and to show it off to friends.

    I've never been to a cocktail bar like this, and I can't wait to try it again. It's a unique space…read moreand quietly intimate. I liked how even though the place was small, the mixologist wasn't in our face and he paid attention to what he was doing, taking care with our orders. They have a nicely stocked bar with more options across the board than I would expect. But the reason this gem shines is because of their creative and delicious drink menu. I highly recommend trying it, especially if you enjoy trying drinks you can't get anywhere else that are made with quality ingredients and perfectly mixed flavors. Even if you aren't an adventurous drinker, I think you'll find something that will appeal (although I'm sure they can make a delicious version of your favorite drink). I write this because I'm super basic about the cocktails I like and rarely venture out of my comfort zone, until something sounds good. I don't like brandy, never heard of peacorn (peach and corn) syrup, but the Peacorn Sour called to me, and it was soooo worth it. I also tasted S's cocktail, though I've forgotten the name, and it had bourbon, which I don't like on its own at all, and I thought it was good. Not drink an entire one on my own good, but if I liked bourbon, this would be fantastic! good. (S confirmed the quality.) We'll be going back, and I'll look forward to whatever new delights they have to offer.
