NYE 25/26 Options For LGBTQ Seattle!!!

December 31, 2025• byMichael Strangeways

Where to go and what to do for Seattle area New Year’s Eve 2025/2026 fun!!!

For big nightclub fun with dance floors and DJs and go gos and such, there’s the Big 3 of Neighbours, Massive (former RPlace) and The Cuff Complex!

For smaller venue experiences, Queer Bar, which is still in “Christmas Dive Bar” disguise for a couple more days, is having an intimate little Apres Ski NYE party. This could be fun for mixed gender groups looking for a party spot. Ditto for Unicorn around the corner on Pike Street.

More male centric options would include The Seattle Eagle, CCs and The Lumber Yard in White Center.

Pony has a fun party and for folks in Tacoma, there’s a big shindig at The Mix!

So much to do!!! Be safe! No drunk driving! Have a designated driver! And, in Seattle, the busses and light rail are free NYE/Day!!!

Don’t take Uber…they donated to Trump. Also, they price gouge! Thus, they SUCK!
