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.

Stacked

Stacked

Uptown • $

East coast-style sandwiches are a rarity in Seattle, and Stacked nails them from the back of a dive bar. Order the Grinder or the fried chicken, and don't skip the jojos, ranked among the city's best by Infatuation.

Clock-Out Lounge

Clock-Out Lounge

Mid-Beacon Hill • $$

TUSH drag shows turn this neighborhood bar into a full-blown joy machine. Expect fierce performances, surprisingly good pizza by the slice, and a crowd that actually knows how to have fun.

Drae's Lake Route Eatery

Drae's Lake Route Eatery

Rainier Beach • $$

A Black-owned soul food spot where the fried chicken, waffles, and shrimp & grits come with a side of arcade games and game-day TVs. Save room: the chocolate chip cookies are famous.

Nick's on Madison

Nick's on Madison

Washington Park • $$

Nick's French Dip is the kind of neighborhood joint where the owner might serve you himself. Come for the namesake sandwich, stay for the accommodating staff and unpretentious local energy.

Frequently asked questions

How are these pubs 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.
