Downtown

The Emerald City’s downtown corridor is home to the mother of all farmer’s markets, the world’s first Starbucks, and a unique blend of independent specialty shops, bars, and restaurants. Navigate through the one-way streets and busy crowds to visit some of our favorite hidden gems, not-so-hidden landmarks, and to discover just part of what makes this town so great.

This dark, speakeasy-style bar is a lesser-known Pike Place Market staple, hidden in the cobblestone streets of Post Alley. We love that it’s hard to find, unassuming, and nostalgic. Once inside, look for the 40+ old scripts of films in which Tom Skerritt has appeared. Aim to go for a weeknight happy hour to avoid the tourist crowds and traffic. The Spicy Mac & Cheese and the Truffle Tre Fungi Pie top our must-eat list.
