Capitol Hill is absolutely electric! We hit Neumos for live music, then bar hopped to Unicorn and The Comet. The LGBTQ+ friendly vibe is amazing and everyone is so welcoming. This is Seattle's soul!

Belltown has such a cool urban energy! The Crocodile is legendary for live music, and we loved the craft cocktails at Bathtub Gin & Co. Perfect mix of upscale and edgy. Walking distance to Pike Place too!

Fremont is quirky and fun! The Troll Tavern and Nectar Lounge have great vibes. We loved the neighborhood's weird art and laid-back atmosphere. Definitely Seattle's most unique nightlife district.

Pioneer Square is perfect for a bar crawl! We hit The Central Saloon (oldest bar in Seattle!), then Pyramid Alehouse and Fuel Sports Bar. The historic architecture adds so much character. Great for sports fans!

Ballard's brewery scene is unreal! We did a full brewery crawl hitting Stoup, Reuben's, and Populuxe. The Scandinavian heritage is everywhere and the locals are super friendly. Best craft beer neighborhood in Seattle!
