Things to do in Seattle, Washington (WA): The Best Nightlife
In Seattle you simply can’t skip the Central Public Library – a modern architectural marvel of glass grids, unusual shapes, and a “book spiral” that climbs four stories. Stroll over to Pike Place Market to visit the original Starbucks and play catch with a fishmonger. In the heart of the city lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, which will dazzle you with its colorful and delicate works. Glide to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Puget Sound.

This jazz club has been in Seattle for many years and features the best jazz, locally and nationally.

My son, 8 year old grandson and I drove all the way from West Vancouver to Seattle to attend a concert featuring the 14 year old prodigy, Joey Alexander, playing piano in a trio combo (and quartet for some numbers). Joey was outstanding, showing a very mature repertoire and incredible technique, with complex voicing. I can't imagine how much better he could be be when he is an adult pianist. The acoustics were great and the food in the venue above average for a jazz club. We will be back.

What a super cool place! Arrived on a long flight from LHR and searched around to see nice places to jump and get a dinner before trying to deal with the jet lag... Stumbled upon this place! Opened the pink door and walked down the steps into a bustling chatty cool bohemian restaurant. Food and staff are awesome, it’s not fine dining but local excellent food with a nice vibe. Oh and check out the impromptu ceiling acrobats and small amateur dramatic productions without warning in the middle of the evening!

Huge brewpub located right beside the Pike Market. The place is huge with muti-levels. Food is great and made from fresh ingredients. Great selection of beers brewed on site. Fair prices for quality and location.
