Unicorn (sometimes Unicorn Bar) [1] is a bar and restaurant on Seattle's Capitol Hill, in the United States.
The bar Unicorn, located on Seattle's Capitol Hill, has been described by Eater Seattle 's Gabe Guarente as a "French circus-arcade-and-Jello-shot destination". Unicorn has a "downstairs sibling" called Narwhal. [2] Thrillist has described Unicorn as a "ridiculously high-concept French-circus-styled drinkery with vividly striped walls and zebra patterned/faux-period furniture", with a Sunday brunch buffet and drag variety show called Mimosas with Momma. [3] In 2019, Time Out 's Olivia Hall described Unicorn as a "trippy", "circus-themed place" worth visiting, but "not really a local hangout". She described the interior as "drenched in wild colors with an impressive collection of animal heads that watch your every move". [4]
Unicorn and Narwhal both serve carnival foods such as corndogs, funnel cake, popcorn, and "unicorn balls" (fried pork balls with ginger and jalapeño). [5] [6] Cocktails on the drink menu include the Cereal Killer (Froot Loop vodka, Rumchata, Sprite, grenadine) and the Fantasy Island (brown sugar bourbon, cream soda, orange soda). [5]
Unicorn opened in January 2010, [7] [8] replacing the Satellite Lounge. [9] Narwhal opened in 2012. [10]
Adam Heimstadt co-owns Unicorn, as of 2010–2020. [2] [11] Mama Tits has performed at the venue. [12] [13]
Unicorn and Narwhal both closed for months during the COVID-19 pandemic, but re-opened with limited seating, a smaller menu, and no arcade games in September 2020. [14]
An "offshoot" of Unicorn called the Unicorn Two in White Center is under construction, as of 2020. [2] [15] [16]
Thrillist's Kevin Schlittenhardt included Unicorn and Narwal in his 2017 list of "The Wackiest Themed Bars in the World". [5] Olivia Hall of TimeOut ranked Unicorn number 13 in her 2019 list of the city's 19 best bars. [4]
