Ballard is awesome but a bit of a trek. So many new trendy restaurants it’s hard to name them all but walrus and carpentar, Sawyer and Ocho are some of my favorites. Hazlewood and Hotel Albatross (tiki-esque bar) are both awesome spots fir drinks. And Sunset Tavern and Tractor tavern are both great spots for live music. If you go on Sunday there is a fantastic farmers market on Ballard Avenue (historic part if Ballard)

Queen Anne is a wonderful older part of seattle. It’s divided into upper and lower Queen Anne. So many great spots up here as well. It’s a bit on the sleepier side though. My favorite spot for brunch is Toulouse Petit (or anytime). There’s also a few great little cocktail spots and other great restaurants like How to cook a Wolf.

Belltown is a great part of seattle. Just west of downtown. So many great bars and restaurants and shops it’s hard to mention them all. It gets pretty wild in the evening especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Cyclops is one of my favorite little bars (great classic bar food).

Historic part of seattle near the ferries. Quickly become trendy again. It used to just be sports bars but now it’s a great mix of galleries, shops/boutiques, trendy bars and restaurants, and sports bars/brew pubs. If you go in a first Thursday of the month galleries open up for ARTWALK!

South lake union has really grown over the years and has become a great spot for food. I’d have to do a whole separate guidebook there are so many good spots. Taylor shellfish, Cuoco, serious biscuit, Re:public, flying fish, revel (modern Korean), tutta Bella, and white swan public house are some top picks for food and drink. Brave horse tavern, Sam’s tavern, and Feierabend are great taverns. Get a drink at Mbar for a fantastic city view!
