The greater Seattle metropolitan area
has a reputation as being rainy, overcast and cold. For the most that
reputation is well earned especially from the months of September to
March. It makes the Seattle metropolitan area the last place that
you would expect to find a bar with outdoor seating. For that reason
people that travel to Seattle, and the surrounding cities, probably
think we are a little crazy to have so many bars and restaurants with
outdoor seating.
It is a little know fact outside of
Washington State that in the rest of the year there are actually
plenty of nice days that make drinking and dining outside a pleasant
experience It is one of those secrets that we don't like to let
outsiders in on to keep the outdoor spaces to ourselves.
Eastlake
The
Eastlake bar & grill
located at 2947 Eastlake avenue east in Seattle has plenty outdoor
seating overlooking beautiful Lake Union. It makes a great place to
spend a nice sunny Summer day eating a burger and drinking a beer as
you look out at the sailboats cruising along the lake. The Eastlake
bar & grill does serve much more than than just the above
mentioned items. They also offer Chicken skewers, a good selection of
gluten free items along with plenty of cocktails, wines and a nice
selection of tempting desserts
Daniel's broiler
On
the 21st
floor of the Bank of America building in the city of Bellevue is
Daniel's
broiler. While there you can take a seat in one of the two out
decks. There you can dine on Oysters Rockefeller, pan-seared wild
Salmon, Ribeye steak or some of their other fine fare while sipping
on one of their several cocktails. All the while enjoying the breath
taking view of the Olympic Mountains and the Seattle skyline.
Pink Door
In
downtown in the historic Pike Place district you will find the Pink
Door where you can sit out the deck, dine on some fine Italian
food, sip a glass of wine and look out over beautiful Elliot bay.
They have lunch and dinner menus full of antipasti, paninis and other
classic Italian dishes. For those that want to make it a complete
evening out there are even cabaret
shows.
AQUA by El Gaucho
Hidden
on Seattle's waterfront is AQUA
by El Gaucho out on the end of pier 70. Once there you can dine
on some fine seafood while sipping wine or cocktails with names like
toews in the surf,
bee-keepers Manhattan
and aqua stormy
all
while sitting outdoors with a view of Elliot bay.
