About Seattle Nightlife

Hit downtown Seattle after dark and watch a new dimension of the Emerald City unfold. Patrons have their pick of friendly pubs and chic cocktail bars, as well as theaters, comedy clubs and concert halls. As a hotbed of the music industry, the city attracts numerous concerts, from the mainstream to the avant-garde. Headline shows appear at the Paramount Theater and Show Box at the Market, and Neumo's maintains an impressive lineup of alternative rock acts. Trendy dance bars and lounges fill Capitol Hill, the city's destination for gay nightlife. In historic Pioneer Square, bars and clubs like Central Saloon and Old Timer's Cafe now occupy the old storefronts, where a blue-jean clad crowd comes to throw back drinks and hear live bands. -- Elizabeth Baxley, 10Best Editor
