Our favorite place in Seattle for wine, cheese, coffee, tons of beer, this place is really cool. It's too far to walk but a very fun and social bar.

Honestly, not the best food. It's just standard American Fare. But the scene is really fun! Hip, modern style restaurant right on the water. Very fun.

The best food in town. This place is a hidden gem. Try the Curro Chicken. It looks like an old crappy gas station, but once inside you'll quickly find how awesome this place is. To get there walk to Green Lake Park to the walking path and turn right (counter clockwise) walk for about 5 minutes until you see the cross walk for Aurora Ave). Hit the button and it will stop the traffic. Turn left and walk another 3-4 minutes and Bongos is on your right.
