You’ll get a pretty good rundown of events in Gay Seattle for Halloween in the Gay Seattle Weekend Calendar. Since Halloween is on a Saturday this year this one is going to be really big. Also it’s the ending of daylight savings time when we “fall back” at 2am on Sunday morning, meaning several bars will be hosting an extra hour of drinking.
What are the legal hours of sale or consumption by a licensed business?
EXCEPTION: When turning back the clock at the end of Daylight Savings Time, an extra hour is added making 2:00 a.m. Pacific Standard time the closing hour.
It is up to the bar if they want to stay open later (some don’t) but Neighbours Nightclub has a tradition for keeping the liquor flowing into the extra hour. Every year Neighbours announces last call just before 2am and then at 2am they announce they will keep serving for another hour. It’s funny because many do not stick around long enough for that announcement of extra drinking time.
Neighbours has Circus Hell on Friday and Psych Ward on Saturday:
Neighbours Nightclub will be charging $10 throughout the night on Halloween Saturday.
Don’t miss BUMP! on Friday October 30, 2009.
Not only is this the largest LGBT Fundraising Party in the northwest, it is also one of the most anticipated Halloween parties in Seattle. There will be shuttles from Capitol Hill to the Showbox. Tickets start at just $25.
And following BUMP! is GRIND afterhours from 1am – 6am at Chapel hosted by the group behind NXposure Weekend every August. Cover is $12 at the door with discounts for those with BUMP VIP tickets.
Proceeds from both events benefit Gay City Health Project.
Two nunneries go head-to-head on Friday with Sister Dawnna’s popular Nightmare at R Place 8pm from The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence ($10) and Nuns Go Bump In The Night at Cafe Metropolitain from The Sisters of the Mother House of Washington State ($3).
Comeback! hosts their Halloween party at Chop Suey on Friday night. Get there early or you might not get in at all.
Seattle Eagle has “Fetish In The Crypts, of Hallowed Halls.”
The walls have been blacked out, the mirrors tainted, and of the ghosts that rumble in the night… On Friday at Seattle Eagle it’s “Super Hero Costume Contest” with DJ Up-Above ($3) and on Saturday it’s “Brut Halloween” Vampire Theme night with DJ Mr. Smith ($3).
Cuff Complex invites back DJ Kimberly S. (Hollywood) for the special night with dancing till 3am. Costume contest at midnight includes a $1000 1st prize!
There are a ton of Halloween parties all over Capitol Hill on Saturday. Most bars are hosting costume contests with cash prizes such as Purr ($1000 1st prize), Madison Pub (Under the Sea), Re-bar (Magnum Men), Chapel (Evils of the Night) and BottleNeck Lounge’s Harvest Feast with Skillet starting at 4pm.
And for the ladies, Hot Flash is at Neighbours from 6pm-10pm ($10) and Le Freak hosts a special Halloween event at Wildrose with DJ Amateur Youth at 9pm ($5). Le Freak is open to men as well.
So many events with so many choices and such a long Saturday night, don’t let this one pass you by!
