Nightmare on Wall Street

Nightmare on Wall Street

Navy Strength · Downtown Seattle • $$

Navy Strength's tiki bar goes full horror show each Halloween, slinging limited-time cocktails inspired by scary movies, like the Dorsia Martini for American Psycho fans. Elaborate decorations and spooky fun.

Old Stove Brewing Ship Canal

Old Stove Brewing Ship Canal

North Queen Anne

Old Stove Brewing keeps things relaxed with a surprisingly spacious back room past the bar. Grab a Hazy IPA, settle into the patio, and let the college crowd energy do the rest.

Stoup Brewing - Capitol Hill

Stoup Brewing - Capitol Hill

Downtown Seattle

Stoup's sprawling Capitol Hill taproom runs on good beer and better company: rotating food trucks in the courtyard, trivia and mahjong inside, and a flight list that actually delivers. Come thirsty, bring the dog, stay for game night.

The Rebel

The Rebel

Wallingford • $$

The old Kate's Pub space lives on as an employee-owned dive where the wagyu chopped cheese and smashburgers pull crowds on their own. Add queso and confit garlic to the cheesesteak, then grab the free pool table.

Métier Brewing Co Cherry St

Métier Brewing Co Cherry St

Central District

This Black-owned brewery has become a true neighborhood hub. The Central District taproom pours solid beers with high energy and a welcoming, anything-goes atmosphere.

Bar House

Bar House

Fremont • $

Step into a fluorescent-lit wonderland with an upside-down underwater ceiling that feels like a fever dream. The vibe is electric and inviting, with carefully crafted cocktails that surprise with every sip.

Frequently asked questions

How are these lively bars in Seattle chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
