If ever there was an oldie but goodie, it’s Re-bar. While other Seattle nightspots attempt to lure in the city’s nouveau cosmo crowd and surviving riche with glossy fronts and pricey cocktails, Re-bar’s got a faithful following hooked because of its rather understated charms. And insiders know that the venue has nurtured some of Seattle’s edgier performing talents, from Northwest drag kings to the off-off-off-Broadway version of Hedwig and her angry inch. Re-bar keeps kicking with all manner of theatrical and music events, including a surreal Wednesday regular, Wow! It’s Bingo! Your hosts Dottie and Lester must be seen to be believed, but suffice it to say this is not your grandmother’s bingo game—and it’s free. 1114 Howell St., 206-233-9873.
