Trace Bar
(Nightlife - Lounge)
1112 4th Ave, W Hotel Seattle, Seattle  98101 • 206-264-6060
Distance: ~398 ft *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. Sexy and reserved, this hotel bar is a favorite spot thanks to its beautiful interior and attractive patrons, who work in tandem to create a scene worthy of a fashion magazine. The place's popularity also stems from a tantalizing mix of New York City style and Seattle attitude. The posh bar specializes in great martinis and also offers a menu with contemporary dishes inspired by global cuisines. If those tidbits aren't enough to satiate, you're free to order from the restaurant's broader menu. When you go, don stylish trappings, and assume an air of ennui. W revels in a see-and-be-seen ambience and is ideal for before- or after-dinner drinks.

        Description: DOWNTOWN. Although it's experienced a variety of incarnations, the Showbox today is a must-visit place to catch touring bands. Amid Art Deco columns, young and hip crowds clamor to hear and see their favorite groups. There's even a dance floor for them to show off their moves if the spirit strikes. Plus, several bars accommodate patrons with a good menu of libations. If hunger strikes, check out the Green Room for some Mexican-inspired pub grub. DJs play when bands aren't booked.

For a flashback to the '80s, show up on Tuesday or Saturday, or come on Wednesday for an Indie / Electro / Britpop fix.

Alibi Room
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
85 Pike St, #410 at Post Alley, Seattle  98101 • 206-623-3180 • 206-779-1596
Distance: ~0.27 mi *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. A popular restaurant by day, the Alibi Room really comes alive at night. Owned by a group of filmmakers, the club works to support independent films and their creators, by fostering an artistic dialogue among patrons and making scripts available for public perusal. If that's a bit heavy for you, just come and dance to the mixed rhythms of rotating DJs or enjoy one of their specialty vodka drinks. You'll also find live music from time to time, along with a great wine list and tasty appetizers. A real local favorite, Alibi plays host to everyone from the eccentric to the street smart.

In-house dance troupe The Contábellas alternate waitressing duties with rousing performances; afterwards, a variety of live music can be heard. Detailed, frilly costuming and a Parisian fin de siècle atmosphere add to an evening's enjoyment.

405 Olive Way, Mayflower Park Hotel, Seattle  98101 • 206-623-8700 • 800-426-5100
Distance: ~0.32 mi *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. An elegant alternative to louder, more high-profile watering holes, this quintessential hotel bar offers an upscale scene complete with a waitstaff dressed to the nines, European-inspired decor, and some of the Sound's best cocktails. A Seattle standard since the mid-'70s, Oliver's has won numerous accolades for its classic martinis. Add in an eclectic lunch menu with the likes of a panini misto sandwich (portabellas, grilled eggplant, and roasted peppers) and Dungeness crab cakes with paprika-parmesan fries, and it's little wonder that Oliver's is such a closely guarded secret of downtown's well-heeled crowd.

Contour
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
807 1st Ave, Seattle  98104 • 206-447-7704
Distance: ~0.33 mi *
        Description: PIONEER SQUARE. This welcome addition to Pioneer Square offers a hip twist on the usual club scene.

Dancing is taken seriously; hip-hop, funk, industrial, and trance boom over the intimate dance floor, and the club stays open until the wee hours on weekends to accommodate hardcore partiers. Live jazz is not unheard of in the earlier evening hours, and occasionally, DJs take requests.
