206-623-3180 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. A popular restaurant by day, the Alibi Room really comes alive at night. Owned by a group of filmmakers, the club works to support independent films and their creators, by fostering an artistic dialogue among patrons and making scripts available for public perusal. If that's a bit heavy for you, just come and dance to the mixed rhythms of rotating DJs or enjoy one of their specialty vodka drinks. You'll also find live music from time to time, along with a great wine list and tasty appetizers. A real local favorite, Alibi plays host to everyone from the eccentric to the street smart.

206-448-6779 | | | | | Description: BELLTOWN. Up for a game of eight-ball and a martini? This upscale pool hall gives you the chance to show off your moves and perhaps score a few bucks from the guys at work. You can also demonstrate moves on the dance floor, thanks to DJs and live bands who perform regularly. Although the place is 21-and-up after 9pm, sometimes groups just skirt that limit. So, be prepared for a little rambunctiousness from time to time. Drinks are of a good quality, from beer to wine, and Belltown also offers a primarily Italian menu when you want something to eat. N.B. Women never have to pay a cover charge.

206-322-2296 | | | | | Description: CAPITOL HILL. Although the name alludes to the building's original usage as an auto repair garage, renovations have maintained the industrial appeal while incorporating chrome and vinyl accents. Garage is home to a bar, restaurant, pool hall, and bowling alley frequented by a youngish crowd and fledgling musicians (not surprising since one of the club's partners is Pearl Jam's Mike McCready). It's a bit pricey compared to other pool halls, but the atmosphere goes a long way to recommend it. The food is globally influenced, as are beverages. Bowling lanes and pool tables are priced by the hour.

In addition, two restaurants and a fifty-foot bar ensure that you're bound to find something to suit your appetite, even if it's just a burger and a beer.

206-622-0209 | | | | | Description: PIONEER SQUARE & INT'L DISTRICT. Established in 1892, the historic Central Saloon stands as the Seattle area's oldest watering hole, its antique green front facade likely looking much as did back in the "Skid Row" days, when Pioneer Square was an area of ill-repute. Today's clientele is distinctly more upscale than that of 1901, and you'll likely find a wide range of people saddled up at the old bar, enjoying everything from PBR to Red Hook. The Saloon features live bands nightly, usually a local or regional talent, and also participates in the Pioneer Square Joint Cover, which allows patrons pay one base cover charge for entry into a handful of Pioneer Square nightspots.

206-284-0931 | | | | | Description: BELLTOWN. This casual joint with retro styling is one of Seattle's best places to score a perfectly mixed martini. Although the place can get crowded, you'll find a cool contingent of patrons ready to increase their beverage repertoire. Martinis, served with vodka or gin, come in a 10-oz. glass and in a variety of formulations. Choose from the Feng Shui martini, the Mexi-Tini, the Flir-Tini, or a host of others. If you're particular about your drink, they're happy to craft something to your specifications. You'll also find a good selection of single malt scotches and a menu of creative sandwiches and appetizers to help combat the effects of the alcohol.
