My friends and I decided to bar-hop, and despite the challenge of finding parking on a Friday night, we stumbled upon this bar a few blocks away. The inside was vibrant and colorful, living up to its name, "Unicorn." The bar spans two floors: the first floor has a bar and tables, while downstairs boasts pinball machines, a Photo Booth, more tables, and another bar. The staff were friendly and recommended me on what to order based on what I like. I tried their Unicorn Jizz and Jello Shot ($12 and $4). Surprisingly, as someone not keen on cocktails, they tasted quite good - sweet with subtle alcohol undertones. The menu also includes savory food and other unique drinks, although I didn't try them. I highly recommend a visit and I'd come back again :) 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. No cover (Saturday night) and drinks are affordable ($12 each). Takes a bit of time to order drinks. Had some arcade style games on the bottom floor. Interesting and fun decor! 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

Love their drinks and always have the best 90 hip hop playing. Beware shots and drop shots are sugary but oh so good. I've never had bad service here, staff have always been quick and friendly. They serve fresh cut fries which is my fave and hard to find. This place is always my fave to bring friends from out of town or a casual meet up. read more

Full bar from what I can tell! Great vibes and it's pretty lively even on a Monday night. Fun set of arcade games including claw machines for activities to do while drinking and socializing. Karaoke nights to lighten the mood and simply release. Great cocktail selection. There's a lot going for Unicorn. Lychee Jell-O Shot - honestly tasted pretty strong so they didn't skimp on the alcohol. Lychee wasn't very apparent but it was definitely a fruity taste. Nice rotating flavors, one of their Jell-O shots is a fun way to start the night. Dirty Shirley - an upgrade from a classic Shirley Temple, you're not expecting anything too crazy. Something relatively light that's also nostalgic, the Dirty Shirley here was a bright, fruity drink from the grenadine. Another good way to start. Green Tea Cocktail - my go-to drink everywhere, a green tea is sweet and sour with a hint of peach. They make it perfectly here on rocks. Peach Schnapps and Whiskey combine to create a drink with a decent kick of alcohol but the taste isn't awful. Great refreshing drink, always. read more

- a must go to if you're trying to explore Seattle's nightlife - located in the same area with a bunch of other bars and clubs so it's convenient to walk around - there's a top and bottom floor, but make sure to go to the bottom floor to check out the pinball and skeeball machines!! don't forget to bring quarters, but there's also an atm - it was super crowded, but not the point where i couldn't move - definitely make sure to get a drink here!! they're pretty well priced - my little pony (5/5): good if you like sweet and fruity drinks, and i couldn't taste the alcohol at all!! - pink flamingo (5/5): similar to the my little pony but a little more sour from the lemonade. sweeteners/fillers were very concentrated so the flavor was STRONG, but i liked it since it meant i tasted no alcohol whatsoever read more

Unicorn - my little pony and pink flamingo - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The colorful circus theme environment is great! cocktails are kind of pricey at $10-$12 each and they pretty much all center around svedka so it's definitely not bang for your buck BUT the experience and drinks are really fun so it's . Worth a visit, especially if you're a svedka lover.... There's also a photo booth downstairs that develops real b&w film. $10 and takes photos immediately after you insert payment with no warning so be ready!! read more

On a Saturday night, my friend and I randomly dropped by this queer friendly bar in Cap Hill. We intended to stay for one drink but after learning the drag show was going on, ended up staying and watching the entire show. There was NO cover charge. What a steal!!!! There's a bit of vintage vibes in a cozy upstairs space above the stage. The performances take place in the basement. There's a good chance you won't find a seat but the atmosphere was electric, performances were toooo good, very entertaining. The crowd was lively. Service was quick, in-spite being so crowded. They have unicorn themed drinks. Drinks were very reasonable($12). I ordered Capri Sun. It was cherry limeade vodka based but was too sweet and syrupy. I didn't like it so much. But do try thier cake shot. It's not on the menu. But you can tell the bartender and they make it for you. That was my fav. It was so good, so smooth. It also has a food menu. I didn't try it though. This place also features arcade games. Fun fact: Every Saturday they have drag shows from 8-10 PM. This place is such a vibe!!! read more

Unicorn is one of the happening bars in Cap hill, you have a mix of everything here- ambience, great music, light bites and food, theme rooms and lovely cocktails!

Came to visit with a couple friends! We were in town on business and came Sunday night! It was definitely an experience!!! Carnival/circus theme with amazing corn dogs! There is a stage downstairs which does drag shows. I will say being from Atlanta we have some pretty good drag shows so I was entertained but kinda meh....However, there was one entertainer who had a grunge style & shaved head who smashed cans of beer on their head! That was a show! They have large bar selection and really good Jell-O shots. I'd be down for another visit when in town! read more

Note that Unicorn IS OPEN; you must present your ID and COVID-19 vax card upon entering. As per state law, you must also wear a mask when not eating or drinking. Unicorn is one of Capitol Hill's most treasured bars. It definitely attracts the younger crowd (especially the college crowd) with its circus theme, loud pop music, sweet drinks, and arcade games like skeeball and claw machines in the basement. It's a very popular place for people to celebrate their 21st birthday. My friends and I came here at about 10pm on a Friday night and the place was hopping. However, we were able to quickly get drinks at the bar below. My friend ordered us all Unicorn Jizz ($11), which has mango vodka, triple sec, orange juice, sour, sprite, grenadine, and a lime wedge. Again, these drinks are catered to the younger population and so the drink was EXTREMELY SWEET; all I tasted was sugar. In the past, I've tried the Cereal Killer ($13) drink which was also very sweet. My friend got a Lemon Drop which is probably what I should've gotten instead. Since Unicorn is known for its carnival food, we also got corn dogs ($8). While I'm not normally a fan of deep-fried foods, the outer coating was pleasantly crunchy and not overly sweet like the ones you get in the grocery stores. However, for $8 I would expect to get fries or sides other than ketchup and mustard as well. Service was good. The bartenders were prompt to get our orders and food/drinks to us. All servers were wearing masks. In terms of atmosphere, the place was very loud. People, in general, were good about wearing masks. There is also a good number of booths and tables if you can snag one. Additionally, there is a lot of interesting artwork and taxidermy mounts on the wall. Overall: 2.5/5 for food & drink, 3.5/5 for service, 3.5/5 for atmosphere read more

THIS. PLACE. Are you a little weird? Do you like carnivals? Pastels? Fried food? Maybe taxidermy? Me too. Now get yourself to this amazing establishment that is not only a feast for the eye but also for the mouth. We saw the sign while we were wandering the streets and made a b-line for it. As soon as we walked in I knew we had found a rad place. It smells like funnel cakes, the staff are all tattoos and smiles, and there are gorgeous vintage taxidermied animals all over the walls...walls that happen to be painted pink and blue and white stripe. So I ordered a Skinny Unicorn and the husband got a local draft beer! read more

My friend spontaneously brought up this dive bar on a Thursday, saying how much she wanted to participate in trivia night. So we made out way up to Seattle! It's located next to a clothing store in Pike/Pine. There's only street parking, and it can get relatively difficult to find during dinner hours. The dive bar is a very cute place for people to mingle and hang out with friends. The place was extremely packed. Unfortunately, my friends and I went a tad too late so there weren't any seats downstairs with the trivia. So we stayed upstairs, ordered some drinks, and fries as a snack. The drinks were relatively strong! I got the Unicorn Jizz while my two friends got the My Little Pony. Both drinks were really good! We also got some Jell-O shots which were also strong. The fries were just meh. Recommend opting for another snack. The reason why this place got a 3-star review is because of what had almost happened. I had my card with the bartender for the drinks and when I asked for the bill, my bill turned out to be $90 something. My friend, thankfully, stopped me from signing it (didn't check the total smh). 3 drinks, 3 Jell-O shots, and a side of fries definitely does not add up to $90 something. Be cautious on checking your tab because some other reviews also noted the same exact thing had happened to them! Overall, cute place with a lot of interesting, delicious drinks! Just be careful on the tab because it may be incorrect. read more

I don't normally review bars but my friend and I were suppose to brunch, the spot we were going to go to was extra loud and boujee so we decided to day drink on cap hill instead haha. Christian was the bartender working and he was super nice! Also has anyone been here during the day? Very different hahaha. Christian was super personable and very sweeet the 2 hrs(?) maybe 3 hrs, we were there. Drinks were delicious and the balls we ordered to eat were great. One was potato and the other one was meat? I dunno but you def need both for balance cus ordering one balls is weird. Lmao. Definitely recommend going here during the day! I've had a WAY difference experience at night when it's crowded and recommend going early cus who doesn't like to be drunk by 6pm and home in bed by 9p? read more

Unicorn is a gem of a place! It's such a unique experience with the decor, games and fun food and drinks! I went here for drag brunch for the first time this past weekend and it was an amazing performance! Highly recommend!! read more

A great place to start a night out! Unicorn is a circus themed bar/restaurant which has unique drinks and the carnival style food and decor. I absolutely loved the game area downstairs and it's a nice touch to have a second bar down there. There was a very friendly bouncer at the front who was courteous and efficient. They checked vax cards along with ID's. The bartender expertly crafted our unusual drinks which tasted dynamite! We had the Americorn and the Cereal Killer drinks (I had a well drink while feeling less adventurous). My daughter and her friend really liked these tasty drinks. I don't know how they came up with them but they are very good. I didn;t know they had Bubblegum Vodka or Fruit Loop Vodka! So damn sweet and tasty (like me!). This place is very big with two floors of fun so you can go with a group of friends and meander about. Play some pinball or skee-ball while there! read more

What a cute bar!! With really fun drinks, the unicorn jizz, and the cereal killer are perfect chasers for the shots i recommend ordering. The cereal killer was definitely on the milkier side mimicking the leftover cereal milk you'll get at the bottom of your bowl. The unicorn jizz was perfectly mango-ey but a little strong for me. Oh.. also get their tator tots. They were the perfect salty snack to keep us from getting to dangerous levels. Loved the vibes on Wednesday night, I can imagine this place gets crazy on a Friday or Saturday night. Can't wait to return! read more

Decor is cool, customer service is exceedingly deficient. I bought a beer at the bar and sat down at the table. I decided my beer would taste better in a glass and I also needed to spit out my gum. I asked the bartender for a glass and a napkin. He said "we don't do table service." Firstly, he could've left out the word "table" and been just as accurate. Secondly, an empty glass and a napkin after already having purchased a beer isn't "table service"; it's the very barest minimum of common human decency. My gum is now under the table and I grabbed my own glass over the bar top. No regrets, no apologies. read more

This place is insane! My sister and I went on a Saturday night. The HUGE pro for me is no cover charge! I love going to themed bars and being able to walk around a look around without having to pay. The whole environment is so intriguing. The upstairs reminds me of the Brittany Spears music video for Circus. It's a lot more laid back. Less loud music more seating and a little more chill. If you go downstairs the music is typical bar / booty bumping music. Very loud and fun and chaotic. The whole place is painted in very bright colors with crazy designs. The basement also has a lot of arcade games and things to do. The bar downstairs is also very large with a lot of seating. Now let's get to the drinks- Witchy Titty was legitimately the best cocktail I've had ever! It was like a sugary and sour blue raspberry flavor bomb. I hate when I can taste the alcohol in my drinks and I could not taste it a single bit in this one! It was sooooo good. My sister got unicorn jizz and that drink was also delicious. No overwhelming alcohol taste and it was like a refreshing lemonade. Even though you can't taste the alcohol I was definitely feeling buzzed after my drink. Honestly this place is an absolute blast even if you just stay for a little while. read more

A fun, whimsy bar with carnival-themed decor that screams a unique brand of Seattle weirdness -- and I loved it! The space has two floors with lots of fun decor. They have arcade games and Thursday night trivia downstairs, too. The drinks are really fun and have super outrageous names. I got a tequila drink which I liked! The real star of the show are the corndogs, which are super tasty and also have vegetarian substitutions. The atmosphere is fun, food and drinks are great -- definitely worth visiting! read more

Unicorn is so fun- definitely lives up to the hype! The music is great and you really feel like you're at the circus. I love that all the drinks and food are in theme. Definitely a cool place to stop! Their covid precautions are great- it is seat yourself. We ordered: snickerdoodle shots, the unicorn jizz, and a smoke & mirrors. The shots were so good, just a bit pricy. Unicorn jizz is sweet but not that bad- you can taste some sour. read more

hey, so it was my 21st birthday last night and I went to Unicorn since it seemed like a cool environment I wanted to test out. When I was getting checked in the security guard was really sweet and kind, then on the way downstairs I met this bartender named Crystal who was very kind she helped me pick out the perfect drinks and also made sure I was okay the whole time! Her energy was off the charts and it made me feel very safe! Also the drinks and food were really good I had gotten the Witchy Titty and the Unicorn Balls. I will never forget this experience thank you so much!! read more

Such a cute bar south of Capitol Hill. I found out about this place years ago and made an effort to go when I was in Seattle. How fun. Two stories of fun. I went at 5pm so it was still very early before the crazies showed up. Carnival themed bar with fun fizzy drinks. They have an adult claw machine, however it was not working when I went in May 2021. I really enjoyed this place and appreciated that they had food there as well. The Corn dogs were huge! The drink names were creative and matched the descriptions. I loved the unicorn jizz, capri sun, cheap date, my little pony, the ringmaster and pink flamingo. When you see the descriptions, you'll see how fitting the names are. I even got some shots which were surprisingly good. Jolly unicorn - apple vodka and watermelon liqueur. If you're in town, check it out, this place has something for everyone. read more

This place is always entertaining, no matter what the hour! We've come here on a couple occasions now - one time it was packed to the brim and the other time felt much emptier and more comfortable. The second visit was more enjoyable. The bar was emptier so it was easy to get a hold of the bartender and they were able to quickly whip up our drinks. We got the lychee drop shot and the blowjob shot, both lovely but very sweet! They have some arcade games, and a photo booth for those interested. Additionally, a quirky vending machine that you can see in the photos below. Definitely worth a visit to check this place out - it's super unique, and has amazing vibes. I'd recommend coming closer to closing time, so it's not as chaotic. read more

I stopped at Unicorn Bar to kill time before going clubbing. It's been years since I hung out here for a start of a Santa Pub Crawl yrs ago with a few of my friends. This is a great hangout for young people and Middle aged people who like playing Pinball or just get cocktails with Corn Dogs. For Animal Rights Activists, it's not a great place since there are Animal Heads on the walls. But I like looking at Animal heads. There are not much bars or restaurants that have stuffed real animals. Another Italian restaurant had a Cougar on display. I saw a Restored Vintage cigarette machine on the wall too. You don't find those either. It costs a lot of money to restore old coin op vending machines. Downstairs is a claw stuffed animal Game with Dildos for prizes and on display. So don't get offended, we are on Capital Hill. Don't bring your kids here to eat breakfast! They serve good bar food, cocktails, beer and there is an old fashioned bar with red lights upstairs. Downstairs on a Thurs. nights is crowded tonight and noisy rock music was playing. Upstairs more old school music or electronic soundtrack to not so noisy soft rock and pop music was playing. Come down to see this unusual and weird, Circus themed Bar. The restrooms seemed very clean and had colored lights inside. read more

the decor is super fun and quirky, it's a circus themed bar. i didn't get the chance to eat here but the drinks were incredible, lots of cocktail options and a well stocked bar with incredible service from the bartender downstairs. there's tons of arcade games down there to play too! i also heard they do drag bingo, id love to come back for that! read more

Unicorn is a great place to go with friends! I went with a couple of my friends a bit earlier in the evening on a Friday night, so finding seating wasn't super difficult, but as the night wore on the tables started to fill up quickly. Usually by about 10 PM on a weekend night it's pretty difficult to find a table, so something to keep in mind! We ordered a few drinks, including the Unicorn Jizz and a Froot Loops themed drink that unfortunately isn't on the menu anymore. The drinks were pretty sweet, which was perfect for my taste, but if you're not one to go for those artificially sweet drinks that mask the flavor of alcohol, this might not be the place for you. We also got a round of Jell-O shots for the table, which were pretty standard as far as Jell-O shots go. Low alcoholic content though, but reasonably priced. Overall, the place had a fun vibe. There were arcade games and claw machines to play near the back, and it was decorated in a fun carnival theme. It was a little dingy and dive bar-y, but definitely a good place to end the night in Capitol Hill. read more

Unicorn (and Narwhal, the downstairs) is kind of the quintessential dive bar / barcade that I visit almost anytime I come to Capitol Hill - bar food is tasty (but greasy, as expected/needed), drinks are sweet & strong, and staff is courteous - but very busy most nights. I also appreciate that they have regular events (like drag queen bingo on Tuesdays!) but I prefer to come here before it gets overly noisy/crowded. Good place to come with friends to just exist together and/or try to beat each other in "big buck hunter". read more

Came here for a couple drinks on Labor Day! It was pretty dead because it was a weird time in the afternoon, but we loved the quirky vibe!

I typically keep my reviews limited to Portland but I just had to shout out this incredible bar that I visited during my trip to Seattle this past March! Unicorn is one of the most unique and eccentric places I've ever been to. Every nook and cranny is detailed with quirky decor, simulating a miniature carnival experience. Their menu stays on theme too with its giant corn dogs and unicorn droppings, which are way more appetizing than they might look or sound! When my partner and I visited, we stayed for the drag bingo night which was hosted by two hilarious performers at the bar's downstairs stage. We also got to enjoy some of their old-fashioned arcade games which was super fun! This is definitely a necessary stop if you're new to or visiting Seattle :) read more

Usually a fun spot to have unique drinks and fun atmosphere, but tonight the staff was extremely rude and kicked the whole restaurant out 30 minutes before closing. The whole staff was crowding us telling us to finish our drinks and get out, even though they close at 2am. Clearly there was no manager there and the staff were trying to get home early even though the place was full. Probably wouldn't ever come back here. read more
