The Cuff Complex

Paid cover and then my friend was ignored by the two bartenders when trying to get us drinks even after moving to different places around the bar. I asked to get my cover back before leaving because they ignored us trying to buy drinks and was told we had to stand in a certain place at the bar to get drinks. I watched other people walk up to the same places he was standing and get served, so absolutely do not recommend this bar. Spend your money elsewhere. Had very pleasant experiences at Diesel and Pony.

I’m giving this 5 stars for one reason: I saw absolutely nobody vaping! I’m in awe at how respectful people are at following laws meant to keep them healthy. They don’t do that shit in NYC. Nope. People vaping all over the god damn place. Thank you The Cuff and Seattle peeps for keeping yourselves healthy. Proud of you.

Rundown 80s vibe. The music and atmosphere felt like we were stuck in the 70/80s the music is so dated it’s not relevant to today’s crowd. The downside is that there aren’t many clubs around the area so of course people still go. But given more options with better music this place would lose a lot of business. The cash cover when you walk in the door is annoying. It’s 2023. Also if you’re going to have a cash cover maybe have an atm before the entrance so the line isn’t being backed up waiting for people to get cash to proceed. GET BETTER DJs. Play music people actually enjoy.

This used to be my favorite bar in Seattle. Ever since Joey Burgess bought it, it has turned into another tacky gay club, rather than a safe place for queer kinksters and leather men. So many clubs and organizations that used to host their meetups at the Cuff no longer do for a reason.

We always have a great time at the cuff, but lately there has always just been too few bartenders at special events and the lines to get a drink get a little out of hand! 30-40 minutes for a drink takes time away from enjoying the atmosphere and dancing the night away. Hopefully this is just temporary!

Coming here for an event I was surprised to find the cost of drinks significantly higher than other local bars in Seattle. I feel that repeat business will be impacted if the prices aren’t matching other local bars.

The Cuff's Kitchen has gotten so good over the last few years I actually stop by to eat here over actual restaurants in the area. The Cuffwrap, the fried colloflower, the chicken tacos, even the chicken tenders are better than any bar has rights to have in their kitchen. Please give the kitchen staff a raise! It's also got a great atmosphere and the rest of the staff is so friendly it makes for a great place to hang out, snack, and relax after work. (And party on weekends )

You guys are seriously the most inconsiderate nightclub in the whole city of Seattle. The soundproofing is absolutely insane, and something needs to be done about it. I will be taking this to the city, the governor, and our district representatives to get this complaint heard and hope others continue to do the same until something is achieved.
