Just move to eastside, what are some nice gay friendly places in the Redmond Bellevue area?

My first day here i visited The Guilt Trip in Redmond - they have a huge rainbow flag outside, colored lights in patio.. the food was excellent, service was friendly, and they are very much like a gay neighborhood restaurant.

But then i haven't seen any other gay places in the east side so far. Where do I go, without having to drive to seattle? i'm beginning to wonder if the guilt trip is the only gay place on the east side. eventually i'll be moving to seattle, but the east side has to have more places?

The establishment closed for repairs. Renovations could not restore its past glamour, and Shelly’s Leg closed soon after.

It was July 14, , Bastille Day, and to celebrate France’s national holiday, Seattle restaurateurs Julia and Francois Kissel planned a dinner party and parade. The Kissels owned Brasserie Pittsbourg in Pioneer Square, and the two-part festivities would take place in the adj neighb
