I don't usually frequent many of the gay bars/pubs here in Australia, but I'm doing a dash to the US in just over a week by myself so looking for suggestions of places in..

SEA
PDX
SFO (I know, millions here and have been here before but was not well informed!)

Staying relatively central to most downtown areas in each.

I prefer places that have some real men who are down to earth and willing to have a few beers with a similar Aussie guy Any suggestions for the shyer type? I always feel akward going out by myself, especially in another country
