Arguably Seattle’s coolest neighborhood, diverse Capitol Hill is packed with hip bars, eateries, laid-back coffee shops and indie stores. Volunteer Park, atop the hill in a historic mansion district, has walking trails, a plant conservatory, panoramic city views and the art deco Asian Art Museum. It abuts Lake View Cemetery, where the city’s founders (and Bruce Lee) are buried. Kids play in the wading pool at smaller Cal Anderson Park.

Old School Italian vibe - but this is not your Mom's spaghetti...
The menus is amazing and you'll want to try everything. Traditional dishes served up fresh and with modern ingredients and flair. The bar will know exactly what your favourite cocktail is and it will be perfect when it arrives.
