The Inn’s rooftop is the perfect place to relax, especially after a day exploring Seattle. From the rooftop, watch ferries cross the glittering water at sunset.

4. Mezcaleria Oaxaca
In the Pike/Pine area, Seattle proves that it knows Mexican food. The buzzing rooftop lounge brings the fiesta, while the many margaritas keep it going well into the night. With tacos and carne asada, tequila and mezcal, what more could you need? Add some spice to the typically gray Seattle weather. You’ll come for the views, and stay for the extensive drink menu. The Mezcaleria Oaxaca provides quick service and friendly staff — que bueno!

5. The Pink Door
At Pike Place Market, walk through the magical Pink Door to an evening of rose-tinted debauchery. This Italian bar and eatery, with highlights of trapeze artists and a burlesque show, will enchant your Seattle stay. Head to the terrace for views of Elliot Bay when you need a break from the spinning and twirling. The patio keeps you grounded, although its one of the rare terraces that is reached by going downstairs, instead of up. Hidden away on the patio, you can overlook the water and enjoy more festivities, or a wonderful calm.
