Montana is Capitol Hill’s designated Western-themed bar. It’s exactly what you’d expect from your favorite hole-in-the-wall saloon. It’s dark and cozy, with stickers, graffiti, and photos of past patrons covering the walls. The bar serves cocktails on tap (the Moscow Mule is particularly delicious) and if you get hungry, the bar allows you to bring food in from the Malaysian takeout restaurant next door.

Conveniently located next to Pike Place Market, this multi-level brewery has lots of seating, so it’s easy to find a place to sit down and enjoy a craft beer. If you plan on stopping by, try a sleeve of their house-brewed beer (the space needle IPA is a crowd favorite). If you’re feeling peckish, they also have delicious nachos, and the CHEESIEST pizza we have ever had.

You’re in for a night at the circus at the Unicorn. The decor is undeniably unique — bright, pin-striped walls are adorned with taxidermy deer heads, and other whimsical, neon art is scattered throughout the bar. In the basement, you’ll find a large selection of vintage pinball machines that you can play while you sip a mystical cocktail (they have one called “Unicorn Jizz”). On their menu you’ll find classic carnival cuisine, including corn dogs, funnel cake, and deep-fried Oreos.
