The Hunt Club Seattle

You’re an old-fashioned girl. Mostly because that’s what’s sloshing around in your stomach. Grab a classic cocktail at the rustically elegant establishment in the plush Sorrento Hotel. Happy hour twice daily keeps the martinis flowing.

Lava Lounge Seattle

Not to worry: It may be divey, but this spot is lively. Tchotchkes along the bar’s walls provide a sporting game of I Spy. Or play some shuffleboard, won’t you?
