Queer Bar (stylized as Queer/Bar) is a bar catering to the queer community in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, in the United States. Queer Bar hosts drag shows regularly.

History

The queer-owned business was established in 2017, replacing Purr Cocktail Lounge, another gay bar which relocated.

The bar began serving Sunset Fried Chicken's sandwiches in late 2018.

Robbie Turner has served as the venue's entertainment director. Bosco and Irene Dubois, contestants on season 14 and season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race, respectively, have performed at the bar.
