Best Seattle Bars To Impress Out of Towners:
Of course when we have visitors to Seattle, we invariably end up at Pike Place Market at some point. Here are our suggestions for bars in the Market. One thing they all have in common is that they are off the beaten path from the crowded areas. Another thing they all have in common is that in a day and age when bars don’t have a long shelf life in Seattle, these 4 have been in existence since I moved to Seattle in the mid-90’s.
Speakeasies-All visitors like to think they’ve been to a secret place that only locals know about. Both Knee High Stocking Club and Bathtub Gin & Co fit the bill. These two places are difficult to find if you’ve not been there before and if you’re not looking for it would just walk by and never notice they existed.
The Lookout-Located in Capitol Hill, but off the main drag of Broadway Ave or the Pike/Pine corridor. It’s located on a residential street and I don’t think too many locals even know about it unless you live in Capitol Hill. It’s a nice cozy neighborhood bar with patio views of South Lake Union and the Space Needle.
All guidebooks mention Salty’s, Palisade, and Ray’s Boathouse for seafood and views. I think a really underrated place to take visitors for drinks is Chinook’s At Salmon Bay. Located in Seattle’s Fisherman’s Terminal, it has a huge bar and big patio area and the restaurant itself is huge. They also have great seafood which is what the NW is known for. It overlooks the fishing boats, some of which were featured in The Deadliest Catch.
