Good Drinks

1. Hazlewood

Neighborhood: Ballard

IMO, this is the coolest bar in Ballard.   It's a sexy, comfortable place with really good drinks and I always meet nice people here.  Great place to grab a drink alone because you'll end up talking...

2. Big Picture

Neighborhood: Belltown

recommended a couple good places to eat before the showing.    The drinks are reasonable, $7.50 for a cocktail (the Key Lime pie one is delicious) although the selection is not huge.  Popcorn was tasty...

3. Sun Liquor

Neighborhood: Capitol Hill

High quality drinks. Hip names. Cool decor. Dim lighting.  Makes for a good night out....

4. Hooverville Bar

Neighborhood: SODO

Great place for an unpretentious drink close to downtown.  Free nuts.  Good selection of retro pinball and vids, did I say Galaga?  Manny's...mmmmm.  Fun owners and bartenders.  Not the cheapest...

2. Sun Liquor

Neighborhood: Capitol Hill

A nice, small, entirely unpretentious neighborhood bar.  My local friends took me here and I was pleased, especially with the happy hour specials.    I wasn't surprised when the bartender knew one...

3. Hooverville Bar

Neighborhood: SODO

I love this place, 5$ cab ride from my house. Good taps, good drinks, peanuts, really great bartenders who play cool music.  Nice big tables to accommodate a large group of thirsty friends...

4. Grey Gallery &…

I asked the bartender what kind of drink she usually mixed with the rum.  Her answer made me love her.  "This is such a nice rum it's a shame to mix on a drink."  Nice, pretty AND knowledgeable...

5. Zig Zag Cafe

Neighborhood: Downtown

Pros:    Can't comment on Food    Cocktail "Trident" THE BOMB I have never tried something like this in my life    Nice Decor    Friendly Bartender Cons:    None...
