The Best Bars & Cocktails in and Around Seattle
Innovative and intriguing spots are popping up all over town, bringing with them inventive backdrops
Aristotle categorized poetry as lyric, elegiac, epic or dramatic, and until recently, our local bar scene could also be divided along similarly strict lines: beer bar, fancy cocktail bar, sports bar, restaurant bar, wine bar.

Entering Sunday’s Seahawks game there were a lot of questions surrounding the team. After the game, we had our answers. Sort of. For a contest that had more ups and downs than a Six Flags coaster, more heartache than a hospital ward and more tweets per minute than a bird cage, we were left with…
