Alki Bakery and Cafe
2738 alki ave sw, +1 206 935-1352. free wi-fi.
Alki Tavern
Their motto 'the 10 cent bar with a million dollar view' might be a little harsh. The Alki Tavern is a rustic, no nonsense watering hole to hang out with friends over a pitcher of PBR. They have some fun specials, Tuesday $1 Wimpy burgers and $1 tacos on Thursday to mention a few.
Elliott Bay Brewery Pub
A variety of locally brewed, certified organic beers are the main draw as well as a great selection of burgers and sandwiches.
Rocksport
A combination sports bar/live music venue as its name implies. The Rocksport is very popular with the young crowd and always has something going on.
Skylark Café & Club

A strikingly well decorated Mexican, 21 and older only, restaurant just up from the junction. Updated versions of Tex-Mex classics are offered on the menu. Check out their happy hour menu, available from 4PM-6PM and again from 10PM-1AM, which features some interesting $4 & $5 small plates. Full bar with an extensive tequila selection.
West 5 Lounge and Restaurant
A hip/retro vibe permeates, a great place for drinks, but the food is good, too. They are justifiably famous for their Astral Mac and Cheese.
