Drinks & Nightlife
One of our favorite bars in the city; located inside the MarQueen Hotel in Lower Queen Anne. Great craft cocktails, and small plates that are substantial enough to eat a full meal. Live music on Sunday and Thursday evenings.

Sightseeing
I suggest you make a reservation and go for lunch - some lunch items are around $25, and then admission to the observation deck is included at no extra charge. Tickets to the observation desk alone run about $20, and you don't get to eat!

Entertainment & Activities
Closest movie theater - old school retro theater. One of our favorites, but not an ultra modern theater with 3D or Imax capabilities. Homey, local feel.

Arts & Culture
Cirque-esque show. 5 course meal included during an interactive show. Dinner theater sounds "cheesy", but this is one of our favorites in the city, and is definitely comparable to any of the Vegas shows we've seen.
