#Seattle gay bars sunday night update
Update 06/07 - The place is still quite a scene Thursday through Sunday. The main thing they lack is a dance floor which means by midnight many people move on to the next bar. The Karaoke Sunday beer bust can also be popular as well with $1 beers and $5 pitchers and starts at 2 p.m. The place can be a bit cliquish in that you either know people here or you feel out of place and caters to a young crowd on weekends. Purr Cocktail Lounge, has become a ritual to start the night for so many people. Most of the bartenders have a great attitude but something with the system makes things slow at times. During weekends the drink line takes longer then it should.

Caters to a younger nicely dressed crowd and stiff drinks that makes it a decent place to start the night and get orientated. However, this tight but brightly lit video bar with a large central oval bar can get crowded. Manray, a trendy bar with ultra modern décor, has never been the same since nearby residents forced the closure of their outdoor atrium. Friday's are the slowest of the three nights and Sunday is typically the most crowded. They even stay open till 3 am on Saturday giving you an extra hour after beer time ends. Years ago, whenever The Cuff became the Cuff Complex Nightclub, Fridays and Saturdays also became more mainstream gay and not exclusively for leather or bears. This event draws a large mix of mainstream gays into this "leather" bar with a dance floor and DJ. Business has actually been doing really well," Wagner said.On Sunday the Cuff Complex has their Classic Tea Dance starting at 6 pm until close with no cover and one dollar beers. "People are coming out in droves to show their support to the gay businesses, and the bars that have been targeted. The threats apparently failed to have their desired effect, according to Wagner. "We have proven that we will not succumb to terrorism, threats, hatred or fear," Wagner said. In addition to the signs warning patrons to guard their drinks, everyone is watching out for anything that seems out of place, bar employees like Tim Wagner said. "I think you have to take it seriously," said Tony Buff, one of the locals who joined the pub crawl. The Seattle Eagle, one of the 11 threatened bars, was packed. The Capitol Hill neighborhood has long been known as a center of arts and music venues, and the community was in celebration mode during Friday night's crawl. Investigators are checking tips from the public and are working closely with the FBI and federal postal inspectors, according to police. The state crime lab is examining the letters for any evidence that could lead to a suspect, a Seattle Police Department spokesman said. Still, the investigation is proceeding on the assumption that the danger could be real, they said. Investigators have no evidence that whoever mailed the letters has the ability to make good on the threats, Seattle police said. "We are not going to be terrorized," Luying said.

People in the area initially were scared after hearing about the threats, but they soon became defiant, said community activist Alison Luying, who helped organize Friday night's pub crawl. The day after CC Attle received the threat, it posted on its bar a sign reading, "Do not leave drinks unattended." The bars and their patrons have been on guard. Ricin is a poison that occurs naturally in castor beans and can be fatal if ingested or inhaled. I expect them to die painfully while in the hospital," the letters read. "I have in my possession approximately 67 grams of ricin with which I will indiscriminately target at least five of your clients. Police say they're investigating the letters, which the bars - located in Seattle's Capitol Hill district - received Tuesday. If you don't drink, a terrorist wins,' " Daw said.

On Friday night, hundreds of locals participated in an organized pub crawl designed to support the establishments. People have flocked to the 11 bars in solidarity since the letters arrived in the mail last week, Daw and others said. The threats - letters warning that patrons would be poisoned - appear to be part of the reason business was brisk.
