Clearly you have not regularly been to bars in Capitol Hill.
That’s nothing, that’s tame, that’s barely even remarkable as odd for all the wild shit I’ve seen and heard (and done -cough-) at and around the bars there.
They famously historically LGBTQ+ neighborhood, that also has a lot of music venues, bars, nightlife, etc.
Its also where the uh CHAZ/CHOP momentarily existed, after Cap Hill got tired of being abuses by the local police force, barricaded/seiged them in their own Police HQ in the district, and forced them retreat from it entirely, in the dead of night, after literally burning a bunch of documents that would have proved they were knowingly breaking the law in their own ‘riot control’ actions, destroyed a bunch of their own computers too.
Anyway, I brought it up because the OP specifically mentions Seattle.
It was originally named ‘Capitol Hill’, because it was built with the idea that it would seat the actual Capitol of Washington state… but that ended up being built in a different city, Olympia… so… the name still persists, despite kind of being a misnomer / confusing.
Going off their other comments, the furry/tech population here, and their mention of specific bars, Seattle. Don’t worry though, I’m in the same area/culture and still find it kinda weird to throw out a location like that.
To be fair to them, though, the op post does reek of capitol hill furries and techno queers being commonplace and pleasantly weird. So common, that even outside of that city, there are occasional furry bars and coffee shops and stuff. It’s actually really nice.
Ah, nice city. I’ve been there a few times, but somehow I’ve never bumped into a furry. I always spent more times in the wilds nearby though, so maybe that does the trick.
Right, but, it seems like, according to this picture and a lot of the folks commenting, that if you meet a furry you will know, probably by dint of them telling you.
Well its been a while since I’ve been, but the Unicorn hopefully still has deepfried Snickers, uh, going to the Wild Rose as a dude is always… an option, lets say… aw fuck, they cancelled taco tuesday, apparently… and one of the original owners passed this year =(
Yeah I guess I’m a bit past my bar cruising prime years.
More or less, just avoid anywhere flooded by college kids, and you’ll probably find somewhere that matches your vibe.
But that would require travelling to the US. I’ll have to pass on that until some semblance of sanity returns there. I don’t expect to see that in my lifetime.

Which capitol hill, lmao?
Its a neighborhood of Seattle.

Hah, got it. I know of at least two capitol hills I’ve been to in other major cities, so I wasn’t sure.

You almost certainly have bumped into a furry if you’ve spent a fair deal of time in Seattle.
They… just… aren’t always wearing their fursuits, corporate tends to frown on that.

That’s horrible! Truly awful! Which bars, specifically, should I be avoiding?

Indeed I haven’t.
Well, perhaps you could try a Jeopardy-like quiz/trivia game at one of them some time =P

Welp, thats entirely fair.
Yeah… we’re kinda all completely beyond fucked these days, over in the US.
I guess our death rattle will at least serve as the most extreme season of reality TV that’s ever been created, so… woooo for that I guess…
