Outwest, the new LGBTQ bar at 5401 California Ave. s.w. that opened last week will hold its Grand Opening on Friday from 4 pm to 2 am, owners Bob Lunke and Chad Gabelein announced today.

Lunke said, "We DO have a music system set up, don't know if our TV will be set up by then, but the curtains will be up. Sign's up now. We will have dollar-off well drinks all Friday evening and food discounts also."

The West Seattle Herald previously covered the bar's origins here, and their opening here and here.

The bar is a full bar and the menu is a lighter pub style menu that is casual, and fast with choices ranging from "Small bites" like chicken wings or a Hummus Platter to what they call Fire Pit Viddles (dinners) with items like beef sliders, burgers, or ribs, plus soups or a grilled chicken caesar salad.
