The Smith Tower was the tallest building west of the Mississippi until the Space Needle was built in 1962.


Pioneer Square

This historic neighborhood stays hopping straight through last call. Sports bars serve the overflow from the nearby stadiums, while hard rock-oriented taverns, romantic eateries, and many antique and art galleries attract both tourists and locals.

18. New Orleans: 114 1st Ave. S. Located in the venerable Lombardy building, this venue was the first structure completed after Seattle’s historic fire of 1889. John Coltrane recorded “Live in Seattle” across the street at the Penthouse, at 1st and Cherry, in 1965. On Wednesday nights, enjoy Seattle’s longest-running jazz gig (two decades!) with multi-instrumentalist Floyd Standifer.

19. The Central Saloon: 207 1st Ave. S. Opened in 1892 as a frontier eatery, the Central was a gathering place for hippie radicals in the 1960s, Mayoral aides in the 1970s, and indie rock lovers after that. It would be the last place Mother Love Bone played before singer Andrew Wood‘s death in 1990.
