Seafood Restaurant · Ballard · 201 tips and reviews
Sam Gr: Coolest restaurant in Seattle. Great oysters. Get drinks at Dutch Bike Co. (only in Seattle does a bike shop double as a bar) while you're enduring the long wait.
Sam Gr: The quintessential Seattle hipster bar complete with taxodermy and a great outdoor patio. Order a tall boy of Rainier to fit in and wear your best flannel.
1118 E Pike St (btwn 11th Ave & 12th Ave), Seattle, WA
Lounge · Capitol Hill · 188 tips and reviews
Sam Gr: Given the cocktails like Unicorn Jizz and snacks like Unicorn Balls and the location in the heart of Capitol Hill, you might expect this to be a gay bar but it's actually not.
New American Restaurant · Wallingford · 46 tips and reviews
Sam Gr: Tilth takes organic hippie sustainable cuisine to the extreme. Amazing food served in a converted house. Good place if you're looking for a gourmet meal in a Portlandia-like atmosphere.
Sam Gr: The coolest park in Seattle. Watch the sunset over the Olympics. Take a 3-mile loop hike that feels like you're in the rainforest. Head to the beach and lighthouse if you have time.

Sam Gr: Great cheap diner brunch. Love the lemon pancake special when they have it. Call ahead and expect to wait anyway in the morning. Open all night.
Dive Bar · University District · 34 tips and reviews
Sam Gr: If you are in the U-district and want to get wasted like a college kid and hang out with college kids, order a Long Island or Rum and Coke. There won't be much Coke.
