More Haight-Ashbury than Castro, Seattle's prime gayborhood is a diverse, multicultural part of town where straight scenesters party alongside homo hipsters. Bars, boutiques, restaurants, and cafes line Pike, Pine, and Broadway, with other social strips, such as 15th's scatter of cool bistros and cafes, lurking off the main drags. The city's most popular gay bars—and one lesbian bar—are all packed into these loud and lively blocks, and you'll still find a high concentration of gay folks living in the leafy streets round here. Although the girls might just have one girl-centric saloon, there are also the lures of laidback women-only Hothouse Spa (below the Wild Rose) and Toys in Babeland, sex-toy store, to draw the dames up the hill.
