"What epitomizes Seattle like a laid back vibe with some of the best beers our region has to offer?"

"Way before Seattle was inundated with oyster bars, this was where you went to get seafood of any kind with a cold pint of beer after work. Not much has changed in the way of decor, but the food is still great, which is why I think this is a perfect nod to Seattle. It's unpretentious."

"Casual neighborhood feel, thoughtful attention to detail on all the pastries. The place has soul! Plus, the croissants alone will guarantee a return visit to Seattle."

"With all the places serving steak, this is still a go-to. The place just makes you melt when you walk in. It's a get-yourself-dressed-up excuse, which Seattle needs!"

"A Seattle icon since it was in Belltown. The Fish still does a great job making our ubiquitous seafood exciting."

"Liberty Bar to me represents the aromas, colors, flavors, and friendship of Seattle."

"The food yes, but the service is why I send out of towners here. You're taken care of. The food is fantastic, the staff is genuinely caring, and most of the people in the bar are regulars. Good 'welcome to the neighborhood, glad you're here' vibe."

"Who comes to Seattle without going to Red Mill? It has been defining this city since its inception in the 1930s. Might not be the best burgers in town (arguably, they are), but it's Seattle history, nonetheless."
