Food & Drink

Magical evening spot serving espresso drinks and dessert (no alcohol). First come first serve and the wait is typically long, but worth it!
Rimsky-Korsakoffee House

Cozy bar with cheap beer, boozy slushies, and sticky-ish floors. The fried chicken sandwich is a masterpiece that is a must-order paired with Rainier. Great vibes and walkable neighborhood!
Tulip Shop Tavern

Sit in the bar, get a slice or two and try the Caesar salad. $3 beer on tap and boilermakers if you’re feeling like it! Love the bartender and crowd!
Baby Doll Pizza

Breakfast, lunch or dinner. MFP is a dark and cozy spot with year round decorations and eclectic guests. It’s definitely not fancy, but staff is friendly and the food is surprisingly great! It’s feels like teleporting somewhere into the 90’s.

Nothing secret about Eem, but it’s popular for a reason. No reservation, so put your name on a list and go have a beer at Migration or Maui’s for 45 mins. Order to share and trust your server on what they recommend. White curry is a must and Papaya...
Eem - Thai Bbq & Cocktails

Small local shop in SE making what appear to be simple sandwiches, but the ingredients and bread make it hit different! Great spot to stop on a walk and worth trying their green bean sandwich (better than it sounds)
Meat Cheese Bread

Order at the counter Greek food. Bring friends to share the dishes and save room for Greek frozen yogurt afterwards!
Bluto's

My go-to bar for dinner and a drink. Great outdoor seating in the summer! You cannot go wrong with anything on the compact menu and they have a large signature cocktail list. Ramen and Bahn Mi are always top picks!

Cozy underground speakeasy style cocktail bar. Food is great as well. Amazing cocktail menu and excellent friendly staff. Make a reservation online!

Old school dive on 28th St. can be crowded at the bar but plenty of room elsewhere and a patio when the weather is good. Very walkable area too!
Holman's Bar & Grill

Inventive cocktail focused bar in SE. Bonus points if you come here for around Christmas!
Deadshot

Small dive on SE Division with warm beer and cold women. I prefer sitting out front on the sidewalk seating when the weather allows! Bring over a slice from Atlas Pizza across the street!
Cat's Paw Saloon

Standard feeling bar but with a not-to-be -missed covered back patio that is clad in beautiful wood and adorned with heaters and fire pits. Good all year round!
The Richmond Bar
