Double Header
Double Header is located in Pioneer Square, Seattle, which was once the center of local gay culture. It opened as a gay bar in the 1930s, and although it's no longer the hub of activity it used to be, the pictures of drag performers that fill the walls give away its past.

The Crescent Lounge
The Crescent Lounge is ideal for karaoke fans. It's a "rough around the edges" type of bar: the toilets are dirty and it gets very cramped. This venue is open every night and there is a happy hour from noon to 6:30 pm, then from 8:30 to 10:30 pm every day of the week.
