Outstanding little divey-bar. Not the scene for people who want to be seen, but a great one for sharing a beer with your best friends or a date. Table games. No food. You get the picture.

It's divey and awesome. Despite the tourist traffic you might expect, it's usually filled with Pike Place old-schoolers. Lots of hand-crafted infused vodkas from serrano chili to rosemary-fennel...

First of all, it's called the Alibi Room, and shares an alley with the Gum Wall. Need I say more? Divey goodness. A little full of itself, but still worth a stop.
