The
Social Director's picks for
Cocktail Time
You
want a place to stop off for a drink or a glass of wine before
or after the show at the Intiman Theatre. There are many options
in this neighborhood, so you can select the experience you seek.
Quiet
Conversation
Kaspars
Restaurant and Wine Bar, 19 West Harrison 206-298- 0123. Seafood.
Tues-Thurs 5pm - 10pm, Fri/Sat 5pm - 11pm. Closed Sun/Mon.Expensive.
The wine bar is attached to a first-rate restuarant. You can also
order food in the wine bar - small plates of the same fabulous
food - a good option if you want to graze, but don't have time
for a whole meal.
The Melting
Pot, 14 Mercer Street (between Queen Anne and 1st) 206-378-1208.
Open till 11pm weeknights, till midnight on Fri/Sat.
This chain fondue restaurant also has a bar for a quiet drink
after the show. It's right down the street.

Pub
/Sports
Bar
Floyds Place,
521 First Ave. N 206-284-3542. Sports Bar with Barbeque. Open
until 2am.
OK, maybe the dancing pig and cow sign over the front door should
be a tip-off. Decent barbeque, lots of beers, but this place is
packed if there's a game at nearby Key Arena.
Retro-Divey
Ozzie's
Roadhouse, 105 W Mercer St, (206) 284-4618. Open until 2 am.
The retro part is in the back (with the pool and pinball, and
cigar smoking), Karaoke rules in the front, cheap beer, bad food
and invisible service are available all around.
Ozzie's
has a website.
Mecca
Cafe
526 Queen Anne Avenue N., (206) 285-9728. Open until 2 am. Definitely
smokey.
Narrow,
old bar with good drinks (not overpriced) and lots of regulars.
Decent diner food at the adjacent 5 Point.
