Located in Lower Queen Anne, down a smaller side street, I would never have expected to find such a hopping place here. From the outside it just looks like a regular place. Very little sound escapes through the closed front door. As the door opens, the din of an exciting nightlife washes over us. The bouncer, who is holding a metal detector, takes one look at us and waves us on in. Its good to know that we don’t look like a threat.
Floyd’s place is a large well lit establishment with a long light brown bar to the right, table seating on the left, and a center flirting table down the center. Behind the bar are three tiered shelves that hold dozens of different beer taps. Some of them are part of their rotating stock and others just interesting collectables. Above the seating area are also dozens upon dozens of unusual and not so unusual beer bottles. In the back is a small gaming area with its own TVs and several red felt pool tables.
My only complaint on this night was that it was primarily a sausage fest. What few women we saw there were definitely there as part of a couple. I thought I saw two girls there alone, but as we were leaving I noticed the two male jackets sitting there on the bench. The music was DJ driven and was a mix of 70’s Funk and modern punk. Behind the bar was a small cigarette “refrigerator” with its own cash drawer.
The drinks were $4.50 and they were fine. I really liked what I saw here and would consider going back. I don’t know if they normally have more women here or not, but I hope so. I would also recommend one of their many tap beers rather than mixed drinks. I give Floyd’s Place 3 and a half Martini Glasses out of 5.
