It was co-owned by Floyd Lovelady, a former general manager of the gay bar and nightclub R Place, as well as John Fish.

[3][4] The Comeback had go-go dancers, weekend dance parties, and a weekly drag show called "Lashes", featuring local and touring performers.

[2] Co-owners Floyd Lovelady and John Fish[7] opened The Comeback in early 2022,[4][8] in a building which had housed the bar, event rental space, and nightclub Eden Seattle.

Houston told Seattle Gay News that he was proud of his work, as the bar "represents the continuation of local Capitol Hill history in spirit".

[14] In January 2022, The Comeback held a soft launch and moved the grand opening to mid-February due to supply chain issues.

[17] According to a social media post, the bar closed as a decision to "step aside" and let others influence the Seattle's LGBT community and scene.
