The Rhino Room in Seattle

Ugh, J'ADORE Rhino's! This is a place I like to come when I want a little drama and adventure on my Saturday night ;) In my single days, I used to come here and flirt up a storm! Now that I'm married, I like to hit this place up on girl's nights (not a great date night situation). 5 HUGE stars for always being the funnest place on Cap Hill AND the nicest! One night a few weeks ago, when my husband and I were fighting, I came in and got a little...how do I put this? MESSY. Just being honest! Anyways, long story short I left my shoes in one of the booths there. I have no idea how it happened, AND I managed to go to 3 other Cap Hill bars after without my shoes (or someone else's? Can't remember)! So, I get home (via an Uber, still without shoes LOL), wake up the next day, and realize my favorite pair of snakeskin Rebecca Minkoffs were MISSING! A party girl's worst nightmare! So, I hit up the group chat and the ladies let me know that I had gone sans shoes for HOURS last night! The last place they say them was...the Rhino Room! Later that day, I threw on my Uggs and Tiffany sunglasses (hangover uniform much?) and went crawling back to the Rhino Room. The bartender there (Mick? I think his name was) had my beloved tootsie cones in the back, saying "I looked them up to see how expensive they were and figured someone would come back for them". YAAAAAS Rhino's YA...

My primary complaint is the incompetency of the bouncers. Two bouncers scanned my ID then the second one accused me of creating a duplicate ID to give to a friend and then said they were going to blacklist me because my ID showed up in their system twice within minutes. I argued with the bouncer for a few minutes saying I didn't create a copy of my ID. Eventually, I realized it was because they scanned my ID twice and told the bouncer. He realized and apologized, and then let me in. If I weren't paying very close attention, I wouldn't have realized they scanned my ID twice and would probably have been banned from this place. Pretty annoying since the bouncers at the door can't even properly scan IDs they jus...

Quick Summary It really comes down to expectations for rating these clubs/lounges, so I can understand the variability of the ratings. But basically, if you're looking for a college/early 20's bar with a dance floor and large crowd, you've come to the right place. Quite the contrary, I had great interactions with the bartenders and club...
