The Comet Tavern Seattle

Belly up amid hipsters and drunkards (as if they’re never the same) at this dingy but damn fun bar at Capitol Hill’s hot junction. Down some suds while listening to undiscovered punksters perform on the tiny corner stage.

Rosebud Restaurant & Bar Seattle

Famous last words: Why did I let that charming bartender pour me another drink? This tiny bar packs a punch. Enjoy delicious cocktails on the outdoor patio or indoors on cozy couches.

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?

Tavern Law Seattle

A mahogany bar, legal books, and leather booths make a good case for drinking historic cocktails at this classic pub. Dishes like braised pork belly and fried oysters deliver favorable verdicts, too.
