On Thursday, Kiki and I were supposed to go to Bearaoke at The Cuff, but stopped in at The Unicorn for a prefunk and ended up having so much fun that we stayed there. We eventually wandered over to The Cuff, but were so late that we missed everyone. Kiki introduced me to her friend who had changed his middle name to Megatron, whose mortal enemy, Optimus Prime, is friends with my friend shadowstitch, because we live in a very, very small world.
The Unicorn may well become my new favorite Seattle bar, home to many pieces of ironic taxidermy, circus food, and light shows made far more entrancing with the ‘Unicorn Dumb Eyes’ they hand out. Wearing them made me want to sing Erasure. Wearing them outside after drinking too much Unicorn Jizz made me want to prance out into pretty, pretty traffic with its pretty, pretty headlights.
We finished out the evening at the Wildrose, where it was sadly NOT Tuesday so there was a very sad lack of tacos, but there were some cheap drink specials which more than made up for it. We’re thinking about making Night at the Unicorn a regular thing, with glitter and feather boas and ironic taxidermy hats. Yes? YES.
I love unicorn. The decor is absolutely amazing and Josh, the cook, makes amazing food!
I haven’t actually eaten there yet, though I intend to remedy that soon!
The Bishop is my favorite sandwich they offer, but they also have amazing snacks like stuffed corndogs and deep fried snickers. We went there for brunch last week and Chris had breakfast poutine with andouille gravy and a perfectly poached egg on top that looked delicious. I had a special sandwich they were making that day (and are adding to the new menu) which was similar to a Chips Butty (french fry sammich) but with meat and swish cheese and an egg on top with a ketchup hollandaise sauce. Sooooooo good.
swish cheese = swiss cheese.. but with a gay little swish, I guess.
Aaaagh I am drooling over here.
Jesus Christ, I don’t think I could ever eat there. I’m old and have a weak heart. In the immortal words of Yzma, “Is there anything on this menu that isn’t swimming in gravy???”
I make up for gravy-heavy days by having gravy-light days.
That place looks amazing. TAKE ME THERE, NOW.
Only if you take me to Exit when I visit!
Deal 😀
Does that mean you are coming here soon? I want in on that!!
Nothing is in the works as of yet but I will let you know when that changes! 🙂
oh. there were tacos there, regardless of whether or not it was tuesday.
Shut your filthy mouth-hole!
oh come on, who doesn’t love a good lesbian/vagina joke?!
It’s true!
I assume you’ve played Robot Unicorn Attack. If not, please do.
I have spent FAR too much time playing Robot Unicorn Attack. Far too much time.
FYI the glasses and light show thing is only on Thursday. Just don’t want you to be disappointed if you go back on a non-Thursday looking.
Now that I have sparkle glasses, it can be Unicorn-vision time any time I want! But thanks for the heads-up. 🙂
I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GO TO THERE!!!
Agentdanak and I went past and ALMOST went in. We should have. I’ve been dying to go back ever since. You’re the second to post pics on this place. I may make that my afternoon trip today 🙂 I TOTALLY need to try the noms 🙂
Re: I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GO TO THERE!!!
I am all over going to eat there sometime. We should have an outing, I haven’t seen in forever and a day!
YES YES YES
I doubt I will be able to roam the streets drunk and seeing rainbow until 3am for a bit, but I definitely want this to be a regular thing.
Awesomesauce. It doesn’t have to be until 3am to have a kickass night…but it helps. 🙂
OMG, please take me with you!!! 😀 I love being part of your shenanigans!!!
Sure thing, Glitter Unicorn Nights are open to all!
I totally love the Unicorn also. I want to make everyone I know go there.
I don’t know how they manage to squeeze so much awesome into a relatively small space, frankly!
