Funky Portland vibe pizza restaurant. It's music/heavy metal themed. They have an adjoining bar connected to it called Dark Bar that serves pizza as well. Hint: it's at least $5 cheaper to buy a pizza in the bar during happy hour than it is in the restaurant.

One of our favorites in the area! It's currently in South Lake Union (Amazon territory) for the year while it renovates their main location in Fremont. It's fantastic exploration of Korean/French/Pacific NW fare. It's a great spot for groups of 2-4, otherwise it might be more difficult to find a table. **Please check the address on Google Maps as Airbnb does not currently have the correct one. It should be just North of downtown**

This is one of our favorite bars in Seattle. It's really quirky with lots of English-style decorations. It doesn't have any food and only serves English beer and wine-based cocktails. It's truly a hole-in-the-wall that is often overlooked by tourists and locals alike, even though it's right in Post Alley.

Tallest building in downtown Seattle. There is a Starbucks on the 40th floor with a great view. You can go there for free, but, if you want to go to the very top (20+ floors higher) then you will have to pay admission. The admission is pricey but worth it as it offers spectacular 360 degree views of Seattle and the surrounding area. Make sure you go here on a clear day!
