The iconic Unicorn bar, a mainstay of Seattle's Capitol Hill nightlife scene, has finally confirmed its long-awaited expansion to White Center with a planned opening in 2024.
After years of speculation and whispers, the official word is finally out: the Unicorn White Center will open its doors in 2024, promising to bring its unique brand of magic and mayhem to a new corner of the Seattle. This news comes as no surprise to Seattle's nightlife enthusiasts, for the original Unicorn has become a cultural phenomenon since its original debut and the Unicorn's Instagram page has teased this opening for some time now.
Stepping into the original Unicorn on Capitol Hill is like stepping into a colorful dream - a whimsical French circus mashed up with a vintage arcade, all doused in neon and glitter. Drag queen shows and karaoke nights mix with arcade games and themed events, creating an atmosphere that's both electrifying and inclusive. It's a place where everyone feels welcome to let loose and embrace their inner child, and that's precisely what White Center can expect when the new Unicorn gallops into town.
While details are still emerging about the new location, the buzz is palpable. The chosen space, the former bowling alley at 9832 17th SW, is primed for transformation, and co-owner Adam Heimstadt has ambitious plans in store. He envisions a venue even grander than the original, boasting multiple stages for performances, an expansive game area, and a commitment to the Unicorn's signature aesthetic. Think hand-painted murals, fantastical creatures, and plenty of glitter.
The exact opening date remains a mystery for now, but the confirmation of the Unicorn's arrival has ignited excitement within the growing White Center community. Local businesses are eager to welcome the Unicorn's energy and creativity, knowing it will draw new crowds and inject even more vibrancy into the already growing and evolving area. Residents, meanwhile, are thrilled at the prospect of a unique nightlife destination just around the corner, one that promises to deliver unforgettable nights filled with laughter, joy, and a touch of the extraordinary.
