Two Hearts emoji 13 items
Seattle has a lot of cool bars, breweries, and more. This lis is specifically places that give off some sort of “cool girl” vibe to me. It's not quite brat, not quite demure, but where more of the classic millennial cool girl archetypes (the partier,...

Bars

Cool girl bars are the top of the list. The ultimate place to be cool, whether you are sitting back just hanging out or right in the middle of everything.

I love their cocktails. This place honestly oozes cool girl vibes. It's usually pretty crowded but you can also sit outside (less cool but more practical). Highly recommend the twin snake as the fancy shirley on the mocktail menu.

It combines speakeasy vibes with night out! It was definitely more of a place for standing and dancing than sitting and chatting. I went during Negroni week and I think their regular cocktails were better. You have to try the chambong!

This place is manic pixie dream girl cool. Very retro, just beer/canned drinks (which were pretty cheap for Seattle). Limited seating but the pinball and other retro machines were super fun.

This is the coolest place that I have yet to go. I've been trying to go but it hasn't happened yet. That makes it even more cool honestly.

One of the coolest wine bars in Seattle. The vibes are great! It has a very eco-feel which is very Seattle.

Parks

Parks are the best place for hot girl walks! The day time relative of cool girls. I actually love going to these parks and doing these walks especially as a way to catch up with friends.

This is probably my favorite loop to walk in Seattle. It's about 3 miles which is the perfect amount of time for a walk and chat. There are also a lot of cute cafes/shops around the starting point. Perfect to get a post walk snack.

This is not a loop, you have to choose where to start and stop which is a bit more annoying. But it does go along the water which is lovely and there are a few cute breweries along the way.

It's beautiful and great for picnics! What is more cool than having an classic picnic on a summer day. There are not many shops/cafes nearby, so definitely bring your own straw basket.

The vibes here are so incredible that you have to actually arrange if you want to have photos taken because it is too popular so they stopped allowing it. But whether you just want to stroll or plan a photoshoot, the plants are gorgeous.

Art + ocean + park, what could be more cool. Literally just drink your coffee as the wind blows your hair and you have the ultimate cool girl moment.

This is the ultimate retro cool girl mini golf location. Nothing digital or fancy, many of the obstacles are made of old beer kegs. But it's a blast.

Made me feel like I was staring in an old rom com, it was so quirky and random. But also fun and interesting. They don't change over the exhibits that often so more of a once in a while kind of place.

Basically a dave and busters, the perfect place for 90s cool girl - they even have DDR. But also a good place for the modern I'm too cool for this vibe.
