Get ready to hold your nose!

by trashfan

You have to enter through the bear bar up front. These guys have not had a bath in weeks and are so proud of the stiff smell of bo floting through the front bar. Crowded on sundays but tends to only be patronized by bar flies. Cliques everywhere. People are not approchable. Bartenders serve cheap vodka you will regret the next day. Nice light show that is cheapend by cheap decor and lights on the wall. If you go by yourself, youre on your own. You won't meet any people.

  • Pros: good intelligent light show
  • Cons: smelly bears up front, unfriendly people, music is the same week after week.

Fun mixed "Levi" (not so much Leather) Bar

by tetrode

Sunday T Dance is good, inexpensive drinks all day and in the summer, cheap hamburgers. Mondays have free games. Saturday before 11pm is good after that it's life in a gay sardine can. However you probably won't be drinking very much. $6.25 for a well cocktail is just a bit pricey, on top of $3 cover charge! I still go the Cuff. Its one of the better places. Lots of places to wander around.

  • Pros: Large, pool table off to the side, outside patio, multiple bathrooms
  • Cons: expensive cocktails, a little intimidating if you're alone

Variety is great

by aleksandr111

This place is a great hangout. The drinks are adequate, beer is cheap. It?s a huge bar, you can really walk around and change it up. The outdoor patio is huge and is a great spot to socialize without trying to shout over the music. The bar shows prOn which is a great distraction for unwanted conversations. Sundays ramp up and this is the spot ? packed and thumping!

Wow, still the best Sundays!

by bigpoppa206

Reading the old reviews, I'd suggest that they revisit the Cuff Complex. I was there on a Sunday recently and the Tea Dance was unbelievably fun. It starts at 4 PM, the DJ had no problems with all the requests I gave him and the format was a combination of 70's 80's 90's AND the current hot dance music over the afternoon and night (til 2AM.) The staff was friendly as were the bartenders. And what a great sound system! Still the best gay bar in Seattle.

  • Pros: Great music, great DJs.
  • Cons: There's no after hours on Sundays. Oh well :-)

All the right stuff !

by jefjr

i have been going to the Cuff since i moved here and it remains my favorite club. on many occassions i have danced till i dropped. i have checked out all the other clubs in seattle but i always feel most comfortable at the cuff, the men are men and if you just want to cruise, thats cool, or if you strike a conversation with a new friend you can do that easily. i will continue to enjoy the cuff and it will stay on my hot list as long as its around. this club rivals the best in the u.s. , i have been to Ft. Laud, Miami Bch, New York, Atlanta, Key West, Ptown, LA, etc and the Cuff has all the right stuff!

  • Pros: cool people, hot men, packed house
  • Cons: none

Sometimes change is NOT good...

by mjgseattle

The Cuff used to be THE place for Men (with a CAPITAL M) to meet in Seattle. In the past 2 years, it has been in a rapid and sad decline. New STRAIGHT owners came in and fired almost all the staff, who were greatly responsible for creating the success of the establishment. The only things going for it are a great environment, nice outdoor patio, and it is STILL the place to go on Pride Day for the massive street party. I used to go to the Cuff 2-3 times a week. Now it's once a year, for the Street Party.

  • Pros: Pride Day Party
  • Cons: Disinterested Staff, Lack of Focus, High Prices

Gone Down Hill

by caguwa

Recently the Cuff has made major changes. All for the bad. Different Bartenders and the feel is all wrong. Used to be fun BUT no more.

Lousy service, lousy drinks, and lousy music. You can do better at other bars in town.

  • Cons: , Lousy Music

One of Seattle's Best Gay Bars

by arthurbach

The Cuff is a great laid back gay bar. It is unpretentious, unlike some of Seattle's other gay bars. It is big, and has plenty to do. The scene is pretty mixed. Mondays have free pinball and games, and a great low key time to unwind at the Cuff.

  • Pros: Laid Back, Service, Value
  • Cons: Cover
