We came here for devil advocate burlesque night and it was amazing!!! Unicorn Bar feels like entering a whimsical circus world. The vibrant decor, featuring colorful banners, vintage circus posters, and playful seating arrangements, immediately sets a festive tone. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere buzzes with excitement, making it an ideal spot for a night out with friends. If you're looking for a delicious shot I highly recommend the friendship bracelet it was so smooth and easy to shoot. Overall, The Unicorn is a delightful escape from the ordinary. With its fun atmosphere, creative cocktails, and playful menu, it's a perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy a night of laughter and good company. I can't wait to return for more circus-inspired fun!

This place is so mesmerizing and so much fun! It's giving circus queer taxidermy/arcade? Don't hesitate and check it out for sure! Staff is always friendly, it gets busyyy at night so go earlier if you can to snag a table.

Unique interior! It's almost like a carnival! Quite dim on the inside. The drinks were good and unique too. I like the cocktails a lot. Unicorn Jizz is my favorite at the moment and Passion Quest as well. If you like fruity and not too strong drinks, I'd recommend those. The service was quick. The drinks look a bit similar to each other so not too noticeable difference but the tastes are different. The green tea shots were good here too. They have non-alcoholic options too (not many but that's ok.) I haven't tried going downstairs to the other part of this bar but will explore that next.

This bar is the definition of Capital Hill. It doesn't get any more Seattle than this. Good drink menu and personable bartenders. There's always a lot going on here so it's perfect for ppl watching/socializing. Many different rooms to catch a vibe.

Such a unique find! Everything in here is so trippy and there are surprises in every corner of the bar. Not to mention the bar downstairs has even more fun like arcade games and a Photo Booth. We happened upon it during drag bingo night and was it was such a fun time! The best thing about it are the drinks.. we had the unicorn jizz and it tasted like straight up juice. They hide the liquor so well, and will get u buzzed with 2 for sure. We also had the pink flamingo and that was a favorite as well since it tasted like lemonade. We had some fries and they were also a great shareable. Overall the environment is so welcoming and the bartenders are super nice and funny!

Unicorn is such a fun, whimsical cocktail bar to visit in the Capitol Hill area. I love the colorful and unique interior. There are bright pastel colors everywhere, and it's carnival/animal themed. My friend and I stopped in on Friday at midnight and it wasn't too busy. My friend ordered the Unicorn Jizz cocktail (house made mango vodka, triple sec, oj, sour, grenadine, lemon lime soda). I ordered the Mauve Mullet cocktail (tequila, strawberry syrup, papaya guava puree, lime, lemon lime soda). We both loved our drinks and thought they tasted similar. I liked mine more though because it was more sour, and I love sour drinks! There's additional space to hang out downstairs with booths, tables and chairs, a claw machine, and arcade games. They also serve food, but we weren't hungry so it did not appeal to us. It was apparently featured in the Thrift Shop by Macklemore music video; I found that out when I went downstairs and came across a sign mentioning it. Unicorn is a very cool venue to hang out no matter what time or day!

Ever wanted a 5* experience but couldn't afford it? Ever wanted to have to go collect your own food from the kitchen because your whole party is too drunk to order alcohol? Ever wanted to explore a new part of town without judgement. Don't worry! The bartender here is as wonderful as they come. Full of snarky remarks and juicy jokes. Want to order some alcohol? "You know how to use ur words?" What exceptional customer service!!!! Ur party is actually too intoxicated to order alcohol but u can go collect your food order from the kitchen! Food tasted okay tho.

____ It is rare that when people give me suggestions of places to go that I remember, but when I was told about this place I remember it sounded so cool, I knew that I must store it my brain for my next visit to Seattle. This place is exactly as cool as it sounds! I was immediately drawn in by the quirky decor and playful atmosphere. The bedazzled ATM was the cherry on top! The carnival-themed menu was a delightful surprise. The Unicorn Wizz cocktail was surprisingly delicious, and the veggie corn dog and cheesy fritters were a far cry from the disappointing fair food we'd had the day before. If you're looking for a fun and unique bar experience, this is the place to be!

Definitely one of the best bars I been to in Seattle. Great service and friendly bartenders. I love how fun this place is with its decor and the drinks are just amazing. As someone who doesn't like the alcohol taste in general, this is a great place for those like me. However they also have strong drinks as well, a perfect blend of what you need. The flavors of the drinks are wonderful, super unique and something for everyone to try. We also ordered food and it was a bit on the salter side which wasn't the best however it was still pretty good. Love show big the salad portion was. I got the chicken Caesar salad and it came with kale as the greens instead of lettuce which has cool, do wish there was a bit more chicken in it tho.

went to unicorn w a dazzling rec from a friend! the vibes are super cool, it's all circus themed inside and i will say i love a barcade and unicorn didn't disappoint. the drinks were alright and unfortunately a lot of sitting and not a lot of dancing but maybe that's common for a saturday night. the bartenders were awesome and speedy so it never felt like i was waiting too long even with a pretty full bar. very cool and worth the visit

Devan M.

Such a fun little bar!! Everything about unicorn is so unique. There's really no other place like it. I always do a corn dog and garlic fries which never fail me! Service is always quick and every bartender I've ever met has been extremely nice

Such a fun night out celebrating pride month! Definitely the top spot for a show, they have carnival eats. I had the hot honey chicken sandwich . They're pricey here but enjoyable.

Obsessed with how cool of a spot this is! My friend and I came around 6pm on a Thursday to check this spot out and grab some drinks. The atmosphere is really fun and unique! Think creepy cool carnival vibes. Their drinks are fairly priced. We ordered at the bar downstairs because we went their for their Thursday trivia night so we also wanted to grab some food. I got their tropical lemonade and my friend ordered a cocktail. The bartender was really nice. For food we got an order of their tots and chicken strips. The chicken strips tasted great, but they are skinny so you can definitely order more of them if you're looking for a full meal. We were a little disappointed because the night we went, the trivia person happened to be a no-show. Of course, not the bar's fault and we hope that person is ok. Other cool things they have include a photo booth and some fun little arcade games you can play.

I did not love the ambiance here as it was quite dead when I went, and it seemed there was barely any alcohol in the drinks.

Ask the Community - Unicorn

Is it hard to find parking?

Street parking can be tough. There is a small paid lot located at Poquitos you can walk from. Also another one next to Barrio. Those are usually the easiest.

Are they still requiring proof of vaccination as of 8/16/22?

NO..They didnt require that or mask when we were there last month

Are pictures of my vaccination card okay for proof of vaccination?

Yes

How do I go about ordering takeout? I'm not vaccinated is there a site I can order through?

You need a vaccine card to go in and pick up your order. I dont think you can order togo if you arent vaccinated. Sorry.

Can you get in with a negative Covid test?

No, you must have proof that you are fully vaccinated.

Is there still an old photo booth?

Heck yea!!! We swapped over to digital prints a few years ago (the old one was not very reliable and took like 5 minutes to print) but now we have more filter and background options, and they print lightning fast!

Anything to eat that's gluten free?

Does anyone know if it's +21?

Yes, we are 21 and over at all times.

How and where is parking?

There isn't a lot but Cap Hill is very walkable and there is a lot of street parking around.

Narwhal is Mon-Thurs 6pm-close Fri-Sun 4pm-close But today they are opening at 1pm for a drag show… Read more

My friend just turned 21 on Monday, can she still get in with her horizontal ID?

Is there a cover charge? If so, how much?

Hey Jordan, we don't ever charge cover except on NYE. So come on down!

Can I come here just to get food if I am only 20?

Unicorn and Narwhal are 21+ at all times.

When is Drag bingo?!

http://www.unicornseattle.com/events/ Tuesdays 8:00 PM 11:00 PM

Hey, Thanks for your question! Our Jello Shots are gourmet.... but not vegan. Sorry ;(

Deep Dive is my favorite cocktail bar in Seattle. The decor is incredible: Very speakeasy vibes,…read moreand every detail feels thoughtful and elevated. The whole space has this intimate, luxurious atmosphere that makes the experience feel special the moment you walk in. We tried the Japanese Breakfast, which is a savory cocktail and such a pleasant surprise. It genuinely has miso soup notes. It's very unique and creative. I also had El Boho (flavorful but not overly sweet). The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending drinks. The prices are on the higher end, but personally I think they're totally worth it for the creativity and overall experience. This is the spot I bring all my out-of-town friends to because the ambiance, vibes, and drinks are just that good. Truly one of Seattle's gems.

For one, the bar service was mediocre for my $26 cocktail. I get more conversation from the bartenders at the Red Onion.... And because they bartender wasn't paying attention, he forgot to put our food order in....probably didn't need it anyway, I need to diet. And then we get the check and they automatically add 22%...if you are a quality establishment offering exceptional customer service, you don't need to tell me what to tip...guess you are not. And they they have the nerve to ask me if I want to tip another 18%, 20%, or 25% when I sign the check on their Toast device... I'll go out for a quality cocktail experience at Needle & Thread, The Doctor's Office, or maybe the Red Onion, lol. But I won't be coming back here ever again.

My favorite was the tart au citron-- it was sweet and tart and a perfect cocktail! My friend really loved the espresso martini-- I had a sip and it's probably one of the best in the city. Definitely worth a try and will be what we get again next time we come again!

We arrived around 5:00 PM and were greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable mixologist. While looking over the menu, he asked what I typically enjoy drinking. I told him I'm a big fan of an Old Fashioned, and he suggested an Eagle Rare Old Fashioned. It was, without question, one of the best Old Fashioneds I've ever had at any establishment. The balance of flavors was outstanding, and the attention to detail was obvious from the first sip. I was so impressed by both the drink and the overall experience that I asked him how he made it and what ingredients he used so I could try to recreate it at home. While I'm probably only 90% of the way there, I'll never quite match the perfection he achieved that evening. The atmosphere, service, and cocktails were all exceptional.
