Diesel (sometimes Diesel Seattle)[1] is a gay bar in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington.

History

The LGBT-owned[2] bar opened in 2011, catering to the bear community.[3] Mike Reis is a co-owner.[4]

In 2011, Reis was denied service by the printing company Access Printed Media for promoting homosexuality, which the American Civil Liberties Union said violated state law.[5] [6]

Reception

Bryan van Gorder ranked Diesel number 26 on NewNowNext.com's 2018 list of nation's 50 most popular gay bars.[1] Kevin Phinney included Diesel in Metrosource 2019 list of Seattle's best gay bars. He said:

Robin Gray included Diesel in Bear World magazine's 2019 list of the world's best bear bars.[7] Emma Banks included Diesel in Thrillist's 2021 list of Seattle's best LGBTQ bars, writing: "Diesel claims to be 'fueling Seattle's bear scene,' and while we can't confirm whether or not that's true, it's certainly worth a visit to find out. Here, the booze (and beards) flow, and you're bound to have a good time if you fall into the following categories: 'Bears, bikers, buddies, bubbas, blue collars, and bad asses' (aren't we all?)."[8]
