Tucked well underneath Pike Place Market, the Alibi Room is popular with the city’s urban alternative crowd. Comparing tattoos isn’t the only way to pass the time since the nibbles are excellent and the bartenders fond of a good pour. A pretty safe walk on the wild side.

 

The futuristic curving white bar is back lit pink, the sugary-sweet hue of the drinks being sipped by lovely ladies tapping their toes to the techno. A very cool vibe permeates the perpetually packed Bada late into the night.

 

A hand-tiled mosaic bar is juxtaposed against curving couches and moody red walls, lending a certain Euro-cool that carries over to the hip but never trendy Capitol Hill crowd. The alternative music in the background amps up the conversation yet no one breaks a sweat. Cool.

 

Picture a roomful of ball cap-clad madmen devouring greasy smoked ribs and yelling at the TV and, well, that’s Floyd’s. Women enter at their own risk and hey, at least there are paper towels on each table to wipe up the mess. Not for everyone but plenty swear by Floyd’s.

 

The Fox media conglomerate is branching into entertainment venues with its turn-ofthe-millennium take on sports bars. Forget the souvenir-laden walls, it’s sleek and clean here, especially the 32 plasma- screen TVs. Mr. Big can smoke his cigar in a glass-walled room and never miss a play.
