At Broadway Grill, even the manliest cocktail takes on a rainbow
hue. A neat Scotch becomes a watering hole for unicorns. The
Grill is generally too gay for even the nelliest queer (the chandelier
is bigger than a Smart Car and looks like Carmen Miranda’s headgear),
but it’s the best drink on Capitol Hill when Eric Jennings is behind
the bar
. Hospitable, hilarious, and known to help shoot Cupid’s
arrow—or protect patrons from predators—Jennings makes you
feel like you’re in a thuper-duper gay episode of Cheers. For
pride month, he’s serving the Equalitini, which directs $2 from every
drink sale to gay-rights groups around town. (Broadway Grill, 314
Broadway E, 328-7000. 11 am–midnight.

  1. Hate to ruin the party, but the gayest drink in Seattle is NOT the Equalitini. I mean, that doesn’t even sound gay. The true homo beverage of the 21st century is the Gay Baker. How gay is it? Well, (a) it has “gay” in the name, and (b) there’s Diet Squirt and fruit juice involved. I won’t tell you where you can get it but I’ll give you three guesses.

  2. The Grill was edgy and cool back in 1996. The days before Kathy Griffin and Margaret Cho were our funny allies. Back in the days when gays thought Bette Midler was funny.

  3. MAYBE ERIC THE BARTENDER CAN DO A WAITER TRAINING FOR THE REST OF THE STAFF…. RUDE, SLOW, CONDESCENDING… AND DID I MENTION RUDE?

    sure would be nice to be able to hang out at the Broadway again!!
