The back patio here
is an excellent place to observe the nocturnal habits of
Hipsterus Northwesticus
.
Linda's is one of the few joints in town where you can recover from your hangover
with an Emergen-C cocktail and a vegetarian brunch while taxidermied moose heads
stare at you from the walls.
It's also - supposedly - the last place where Kurt Cobain was seen alive.

( 206-322-8828;

; 619 E Pine St; 4pm-2am Mon-Fri, 2pm-2am Sat &
Sun; Pike-Pine)
Weekend cabaret performances, amateur strip shows, go-go boys and
DJs - there's something entertaining going on every night of the week at this welcom-
ing gay bar. Relax with a beer on the deck or dance your ass off.
Three floors of dancing to hip-hop and R&B DJs and plenty of sweaty body contact
make this club a blast for pretty much everyone who isn't terribly uptight. If you're
feeling brave, take a shot at winning a hundred bucks in the all-male wet-undies con-
test.
COMET
DIVE BAR
( 206-323-9853; 922 E Pike St; noon-2am; Pike-Pine)
Gulp… Unlike all of those
other carefully configured dive bars on Pike-Pine, Comet really
is
a dive bar,
everything from the tattily dressed, liberally tattooed clientele to the lingering aroma of
last week's spilled beer is real. Dive in and enjoy it while it's still there.
WILDROSE
LESBIAN
( 206-324-9210; 1021 E Pike St; 5pm-midnight Mon, 3pm-1am Tue-Thu, 3pm-2am Fri & Sat,
3pm-midnight Sun; Pike-Pine)
This small, comfortable lesbian bar has theme nights
(dykes on bikes, drag-king shows) as well as a light menu, pool, karaoke and DJs. On
weekends it gets packed, so figure on a bit of a wait to get in.
