We very randomly found out there was a drag show on a Saturday night while visiting Seattle and very quickly made our way over to Unicorn. Definitely a dive bar kind of vibe up top, but downstairs was packed with people waiting for the show! We sat at the downstairs bar and were helped so quickly. I will say, the bar staff worked so fast to help everyone and super friendly! Standard drinks and bar food options-- the mixed drinks/cocktails were great and price range was excellent! read more

What a fun place to hang out with friends on a weekend night! Upon entering you're welcomed with a vintage circus themed interior! You'd think that was all, but the downstairs is even crazier and wilder! There's a row of pin ball machines and a few arcade games to play from (shooting, basketball,etc) My fav was definitely the drinks though; they were all so fun and since I'm quite a light drinker and don't actually like the taste of alcohol, the drinks were perfect for me. The drinks are on the sweeter side but they taste just like how it's described. Overall had such a fun experience here with friends and would come back again :) read more

Always a fun vibe with lovers, friends, or anything inbetween. I love how the space is decorated. I wish my bedroom had that zebra print everywhere. Drinks are good, not cheap, but it's Seattle and they are fun. Door staff is nice always. I had never tried the food there before but my luvah ordered the garlic fries and they were actually rly good. We shared a garlicky smooch with the DJ rocking out in the background. Speaking of DJ, I always think the music is fun here. Nice crowds too! read more

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! read more

I've been here twice now and I'm always impressed with how cool the decorations are. It's one of the most visually fun and unique bars I've ever been to. I love the whole carnival-meets-fantasy vibe with the vintage arcade, murals and bold colors! The food is always good, especially if you're going there after another bar or club that doesn't serve food. It's not too pricey compared to other places in Seattle and the bartenders have always been nice! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

WORST.SERVICE.EVER. EMPLOYEES STOLE OVER $200 AND RUINED MY DAUGHTERS 21ST BIRTHDAY!!! After extensive searching, my LGBTQ daughter and friends decided this would be the best place to have her 21st birthday party. I reached out to them a couple weeks ahead of time to inquire about our plans and what they offered, as their website states they are a fun place to celebrate your birthday and there are different "events" every night. I never heard back from them. The website should say, "You can come here on your birthday, if you want to." I was more celebrated and catered to at my 5 year-old McDonald's birthday party in the 80s. SAD! The 6 of us set up downstairs with balloons, cake, presents, etc., OBVIOUSLY celebrating a birthday. We were completely ignored, and there were less than five other people downstairs the whole time we were there, because there were no "events". I made the mistake of asking the bartender for some glasses of water because the kids wanted to pace themselves between drinks. They made a face and said "We don't have that." Confused, I asked, "You don't have water and glasses?" They got irritated and said, "We do, but we don't do THAT!" and made me purchase 6 bottles of water. With the exception of pouring the drinks, I literally waited on our group from start to finish myself. I also asked for, and kept, a running total of what we ordered because I didn't trust them after the way they treated us. When I paid, I left the 15% tip I felt obligated to, instead of the 25% I normally leave for group occasions, for the SERVICE. Apparently, they were so pleased with the service they provided us, that they not only ran my total (with tip) through twice, but they DOUBLED the tip for themselves the second time. This overdrew my bank account by over $200, which I didn't find out until we attempted to carry out the weekend plans for her birthday, which had to be cancelled mid-way through. My attempts to get a response from them have been ignored for a week. I live paycheck to paycheck. Saving the money for this birthday wasn't easy, but it was obviously (supposed to be) a very special occasion. Now I get to spend hours on the phone, during my workday breaks, battling it out with my bank over the fraudulent charges and overdraft fees. THANKS UNICORN for completely ruining my daughter's milestone birthday and stealing what I had left of my paycheck to live on for the next two weeks. I'll be filing reports with the police and the Better Business Bureau. What a disgrace to the community! read more

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. read more

____ 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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

Everyone I've talked to about Unicorn seems to share the same sentiment- a rite of passage, if you will. Well, only this time, I am older than the average 20 year old and don't drink as much as I used to, but I still had a blast. I came here on a Friday night for their "Lashes" drag show and it did not disappoint. The FREE show was held on their lower floor and was the perfect, intimate spot for a fun show with electrifying performances. It was great seeing the queens strut their stuff and interacting with the crowd. The local drag scene here in Seattle is fierce. Drinks here were good but not as strong as I think a lot of people make it tout to be. I ordered their Passion Quest ($12) which was combined passion fruit vodka with guava and lime soda to create a fizzy drink. The prices here aren't bad - considering I got my partner a $3 Shirley Temple, which seems like a steal in today's economy. The bartenders and staff here were extremely friendly and I loved that it never felt overly crowded inside Unicorn. I'll definitely be back again for more shows in the future. read more

One of the most popular bars in cap hill / Seattle, and for good reason. There's plenty of space inside and two floors, so you should be able to find yourself a table. The decorations here are basically circus themed, and it's certainly a unique vibe. I got the passion fruit guava cocktail and a jello shot this time, and both were great. The drinks are pretty sweet and not that strong, but are known for their unique names and more affordable prices. It can get quite loud inside where you may have to scream which can be a little annoying, but that's pretty much expected for any environment like this. I've also come for bingo night which I must say.. is a lot. Expect to have to say some weird things and be mildly uncomfortable haha but its all part of the experience here ;) read more

The Unicorn is like an old friend that, no matter how much time has gone by, you pick up with them right where you left off. I've been here as a freshly moved Seattle-ite, for my bachelorette party, and as a chill daytime meeting spot to bring my best friend from out of town. No matter the occasion or the time of day, this place has got something for you. Is it a little grungy at times? Sure, but what trusty bar that's seen some of the best times of people's lives isn't? Their drinks are unique, their snacks are scrumptious, and the prices are fairly reasonable for the area. The inside is just wacky and wild. It's decorated like a drag circus, and it gives eclectic and happy. I personally suggest the Fruity Pebbles deep fried ice cream and the Unicorn Jizz read more

This was my first experience at a gay/drag/LGBTQ+ centric bar. I also have to admit that it wasn't until the drag show started that I realized it. The signage didn't tip me off. The decor didn't tip me off. The drink menu with things like Unicorn Jizz didn't tip me off. It was the simultaneous beginning of the drag show and my noticing the claw machine was full of silicone phalluses that made me realize what I'd walked into. I had only told me wife we should pop in because I'd heard they had fun drinks and carnival food. Hand to God I thought it was just a carnival themed place. I even told my kids that next time we were all in Seattle we'd go here and get corn dogs. I will not, as it turns out, be taking my kids! My wife found this whole thing very amusing. As for the show, I have to go with her opinion. She's been to them before and commented that while these performers were largely just lip-syncing, she would have expected much more physical performances or actual singing based on what she's seen at other venues. The drinks were decent and fun but mostly filled with very little bite. The service from the bartenders was awesome and while the music was blasting, it wasn't uncomfortably loud even for my old, white, straight ears. Didn't try the food, didn't play the arcade games, and didn't use the restroom, but all those things did exist. It was fun, and would probably be more fun if I had been there with a group. Maybe I'll stop by for another show and a fried Snickers next time I'm in Capitol Hill. read more

Fun bar within the Capitol Hill area of Seattle. I remember coming here back in 2016 because when I walked back in recently you couldn't forget not being there because of the circus decor and atmosphere. This bar was one of the only bars that had really good AC during the heat wave. Especially downstairs! When we got there we got a round of shots upstairs and all of the alcohol was warm. Once we moved downstairs it felt so much better. We got a round of drinks and they have food too. I ordered some popcorn and fries for thee group and we devoured it. They also have arcade games downstairs and out of all the other bars we've been to, they have a working Photo Booth! The staff are friendly and they host drag brunches there. We were there on a Sunday afternoon where it was very chill. There's street parking outside and along the area. read more

Jello shots were only $4 when I came at 7 pm on a Friday night. Not sure what the flavor was... but it was blue and had a layer of something creamy on top... like whipped cream? Not sure... It is made with vodka and worth the price; not super sweet. I also got the My Little Pony for $11. This drink is every SWEET COCKTAIL lovers dream! Sooo fruity and tastes like sugar. I loved it. The bartender was nice as well. He definitely had a heavy hand when making those cocktails... Very easy to get drunk/tipsy here! KEEP IN MIND: Prices include WA state tax already! FUN FACT: Thrift Shop by Macklemore was filmed here! With all the decor and the two stories of seating, there's no wonder it's so popular. Such a fun spot for a night out! read more

Love a good barcade and this place has different kinds of games to play from pinball to skee ball to buck hunter. They also have a claw machine filled with adult toys you could win. This place is definitely unique with a lot of flair. Also there's lots of places to sit so it makes a good place to meet up with friends. We ordered the caprisun drink which was delicious and tasted exactly like a caprisun!! I drank 2 that night because it tasted like juice but was definitely full of alcohol. Make sure to bring some cash to play games! read more

A place you go once but never again. Loveee the art and decor, however I would avoid the arcade and Photo Booth. We enjoyed the skee-ball game but the other two we tried just ate our quarters. One game, the one to the wall by skee-ball started but said no ball/missing ball and ended without allowing us to play. The deer shooting game makes you sign up with phone number and/or email and never sends you anything and again you don't get to play. Photo Booth is fine but if you aren't paying attention you will get ripped off. You first pay five dollars and take your photos. It will show the result and another five dollar pay screen as if you need to pay again over your photo. Check outside the booth for your pics first lol it already print, so don't pay again. We noticed two groups get finagled. Food and drinks were okay. Service was okay but some employees seemed mad or didn't want to be there. Not a place I would return but we took some cool photos and still enjoyed our night. read more

Definitely a fun place to go to, especially if you have a sweet tooth, but unfortunately I am not a huge fan of sweets. I took a look at their drink menu and nothing on it seemed appealing to me. All the cocktails had some sort of soft drink like a sprite, and I wasn't in the mood to have a soda at that time. Their shots looked like you're basically getting a super mini cocktail in a shot glass for almost the same price as a regular cocktail, and their drop shots cost as much as their regular shots. I went for a beer instead with the Rainier Lager ($6), which sucks because I like trying out places' unique cocktails that they have. I'm not sure if you have to bus your own tables or if they clean it up for you after you leave, but since I saw a lot of empty tables with empty food baskets and glasses I'm going to assume that they clean it up for you. If that's the case, then they don't clean it well enough considering the first table we sat it had a top so sticky that it transferred from my arm to my hands to my phone when I kept touching everything. We moved to another table after that. Cute theme and it seems like it would been really fun if they have an event going on, but it doesn't seem like it's for me. read more

My boyfriend's friend kept saying he would sponsor us to play the claw machine and we had an idea what it would entail. Not to our surprise, it was actually what we thought it was. The only downside was that the machine was a bit broken as it wouldn't go forward. The drinks were sweet and tasty. My boyfriend got the Unicorn Jizz, and Narwhall Balls, and a corn dog. The food and the drinks were honestly pretty good. This was a very fun and eclectic place worth the visit. read more

They have fun games inside like pacman. The place is very vibrant. Service is good too. If you are in seattle, you can visit this place if you want to have fun time with friends. read more

Stumbled in here on a Friday date night around 7PM (we are in our late 30's, so we were proud of even being outside when it had been dark for hours already), and had an enjoyable enough time. There was a drag show we weren't expecting, the drinks were strong with some interesting cocktails, and there is a photo booth and pinball machines. These are all in the lower level. I like a good dive bar though, and this def brought me back to my Long Beach (CA) bar hopping days. The bartenders were friendly but not overly so, and I thought fairly attentive and efficient. I think it's worth stopping by for a pre/post dinner or a nightcap, although I can imagine it getting rowdier later in the night. read more

It was crowded and had an eclectic group of people so people watching is fun! Limited seating and drinks are pretty sweet but it is a cool and different atmosphere.

Unicorn is a carnival themed bar in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. They're open late and are known for their cocktail names. I was in the neighborhood with a free evening so I figured I should stop by. It's definitely worth popping in - the theme is over the top, the bar is so colorful and fun, and the crowd will keep you feeling young. There's something to look at everywhere your eyes rest. As for food and drink, I got the veggie dog - $9. When the bartender asked if I wanted tots I assumed it was included, but it's actually an extra $3. Not bad for tots but I felt a little up sold. The dog is very large and the portion of tots is too. They taste just how you'd expect! It's slightly elevated carnival junk food, after all. I also tried the Unicorn Jizz cocktail - $11 and the Cheap Date - $9. Both were good but incredibly sweet and sugary. As a visitor to Seattle, this place made a great stop. For the locals, happy hour is 2-5pm Monday through Friday and they've got a full lineup of events throughout the week (karaoke, drag queen bingo, variety shows, trivia, cabaret, etc). read more
