( www.pikebrewing.com ; 1415 1st Ave; 11am-midnight; University St) Leading the way in
the microbrewery revolution, this brewpub was an early starter, opening in 1989 under-
neath Pike Place Market. Today it continues to serve high-palate pub food and hop-
heavy beers in a neo-industrial multilevel space that's a beer nerd's heaven. The brew-
ery runs free tours daily at 2pm.
Friendly bar staff will also help you to pair beer with your food.

( 206-624-7166; 1517 Pike Place Market; happy hour well drinks $3; 11am-8pm Mon-Sat,
9am-4pm Sun; Westlake) There's nothing fancy about the Athenian, but it's a land-
mark and a bastion of unpretentious, frontier-era Seattle, a holdover from the days be-
fore Starbucks and Grand Central Bakery ( way before - it opened in 1909, two years
after the market itself).
It's been a bakery and a lunch counter, and now it seems to have settled in as a diner-
bar combination where, especially in the off hours, you can snuggle into a window
booth and gaze over Elliott Bay with a plate of fried fish and a frosty mug of Manny's
Pale Ale.

lar DJ nights, art installations, stand-up performances and experimental-film screen-
