I’m really enjoying the night life developments happening on Olive… First the Saint, then the Elite and Tacos Gringos. And now… The Buck, located right next to the ‘antique’ shop.
It has been under construction for a few months now. And, actually, at first I thought it was an addition to the antique shop because the decor is so kitchy. I was happy to see the bar and alcohol racks go in a few weeks ago though. And last week it was made official with a soft launch opening.
Is it a gay bar? I walked by it at the soft opening on Saturday and the ratio looked about 90/10 or 80/20, about the same as The Elite two doors away. But, that ratio is fairly close to most Seattle bars so maybe I’m jumping to conclusions. ;)
And given the name, I guess it is cowboy themed? Presumably “The Buck” isn’t some ironic joke about the devalued US dollar :)
