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.

Oliver's
(Nightlife - Bars)
405 Olive Way Mayflower Park Hotel, Seattle  98101 • 206-382-6995 • 800-426-5100
Distance: ~0.33 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.

Works by local artists add an intriguing touch to the interior, which is otherwise cozy and pub-like. The bar is usually populated with an eclectic mix of people drinking everything from wine and cocktails to domestic, imported, and locally-brewed beers. If you're a smoker, beware: A sign at the front proudly announces "We be smoke free." (Smoking is, however, permitted on the back patio.)

The Central Saloon
(Nightlife - Bars)
207 1st Ave S, Seattle  98104 • 206-622-0209
Distance: ~0.51 mi *
        Description: PIONEER SQUARE & INT'L DISTRICT. Established in 1892, the historic Central Saloon stands as the Seattle area's oldest watering hole, its antique green front facade likely looking much as did back in the "Skid Row" days, when Pioneer Square was an area of ill-repute. Today's clientele is distinctly more upscale than that of 1901, and you'll likely find a wide range of people saddled up at the old bar, enjoying everything from PBR to Red Hook. The Saloon features live bands nightly, usually a local or regional talent, and also participates in the Pioneer Square Joint Cover, which allows patrons pay one base cover charge for entry into a handful of Pioneer Square nightspots.

Belltown Billiards
(Nightlife - Bars)
90 Blanchard St, Seattle  98121 • 206-448-6779
Distance: ~0.58 mi *
        Description: BELLTOWN. Up for a game of eight-ball and a martini? This upscale pool hall gives you the chance to show off your moves and perhaps score a few bucks from the guys at work. You can also demonstrate moves on the dance floor, thanks to DJs and live bands who perform regularly. Although the place is 21-and-up after 9pm, sometimes groups just skirt that limit. So, be prepared for a little rambunctiousness from time to time. Drinks are of a good quality, from beer to wine, and Belltown also offers a primarily Italian menu when you want something to eat. Women never have to pay a cover charge.

Lava Lounge
(Nightlife - Bars)
2226 2nd Ave, Seattle  98121 • 206-441-5660
Distance: ~0.59 mi *
        Description: DOWNTOWN & BELLTOWN. Tiki torches, shuffleboard, Hawaiian wood masks, and a Miss Pac Man – this South Pacific-themed bar definitely appeals to those area 20-somethings who are yearning for a tropical atmosphere and other fashionably clad bodies to warm up to. A good place to meet up after work, Lava earns high praise for its low happy hour prices. As the night wears on, the DJ du jour steps to the forefront to spin the latest alternative, country, and r&b tunes and work the crowd into a frenzy. Live music is also featured from time to time.
