Madison Pub
Madison Pub is a gay bar in Seattle, Washington, United States.
Description
Madison Pub is an LGBT-owned[1] gay sports bar located at 1315 East Madison Street in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood.[2] The Stranger has said the pub is "rumored to be the friendliest and least stressful gay bar on all of Capitol Hill", with loyal clientele.[3] The newspaper has also described the venue as a "popular, crowded, and unpretentious" sports bar "for men who like men". The bar offers darts, pinball, pool, pull-tabs, trivia, and video games.[4][5]
History
Chet Harold opened the bar in May 1986. Madison Pub did not operate as a gay bar until July 1986. Michael Lull owned the bar starting in 1995,[6] and Roland Hyre became the bar's third owner on December 31, 2010. The pub has sponsored local basketball, rugby, softball, tennis, and volleyball teams.[7]
In the 2009 ricin incident, Madison Pub was one of eleven Seattle gay bars that received letters threatening to poison patrons with ricin; the bar was the only one to not participate in a pub crawl organized in defiance of the threat.[8][9][10]
Reception
Madison Pub ranked number 38 on NewNowNext.com's (Logo TV) 2018 list of the 50 most popular gay bars in the U.S.[5]
