Food Scene
Like hard to find speakeasies? This incredible restaurant offers some of the best food in Seattle to those who can find it. As the name suggests, an unmarked pink door off of a quaint street in Post Alley (near Pike's), leads to an unforgettable dining spot. Everything from the food, to the atmosphere to the service is absolutely wonderful.

A local roaster, Victrola exemplifies why Seattle is known for its coffee. Every cup, any way you pour it, is perfect down to the last drop. The unpretentious, simple vibes of their shop also make it a favorite spot of ours to frequent. They're one of those places that not only delivers, but also knows most of their customers' names by heart.

Hands-down, best cocktails in Seattle. Their happy hour is excellent; but be careful, their drinks are very strong (though you wouldn't know it, they that balanced). The vibes here are amazing, tucked away just below Pike's, this gem is a little hard to find and mostly only frequented by people who live here.

Best place in town to enjoy a glass of rose, sitting in an adirondack watching the sun set over South Lake Union and Seattle. Their seafood and dinner items are amazing. Very hard to get reservations, but if you show up early, they can usually get you in.
