9 lb Hammer
An unpretentious, laid back bar. Nobody has tapped into the Georgetown vibe more. Dimly lit and cavernous, it's a good place to hangout with friends. While it's quiet early in the week, weekends can get very busy.
Pyramid Alehouse
Strategically located across from Quest and Safeco fields, very popular indeed, especially on game nights. They specialize in their own microbrews, although, at this point they are a pretty big brewery. They offer the classics, with their excellent Hefeweizen and IPA as well as some rotating seasonal varieties. Food is your typical pub grub; burgers, sandwiches and fried food. They do offer a selection of salads and other light fare to round out the menu. 21 and older only.
Showbox SoDo
Sister venue to the original Showbox across from Pike Place Market, Showbox SoDo offers a variety of live music acts, check website for upcoming events. There is also food, of the burger and pizza variety, and drinks available from the lounge.
Marco Polo Bar and Grill
A long-time Sodo institution, embodies all that you expect from a working class bar, a variety of good, cold beer served in chilled glasses, stiff, reasonably priced mixed drinks and some cheap, fried food to sop up all that booze. Their pressure fried chicken is the stuff of local legend.
