Sake Noire
Rainier Valley • $$
Itameshi meets izakaya at this intimate jazz bar, where Japanese-Italian plates like curry deviled eggs are built for pairing. Owner Quan walks you through the sake flight, and each pour shifts with every bite.
Marjorie Restaurant
Central District • $$$
Donna Moodie's Marjorie spins soul on vinyl and plates it with Caribbean-Southern-Italian finesse in the historic Central District. Hushpuppies with honey butter and steel drum plantains taste like heritage refined: lighter than grandma's kitchen, but the flavors still hug you back.
Cafe Lolo
Capitol Hill • $$
Two chefs from James Beard award-winning kitchens turn out seasonal fresh pastas and vegetable-forward plates in a cozy room wrapped in hundred-year-old Russian murals.
Esters Enoteca
Fremont • $$
Good-time warehouse wine bar where shorty pours meet pasta worth licking the plate. The staff actually wants to be there, which is half the charm.
Persephone
Rainier Valley • $$
A tiny pink Amaro bar and Italian grocery where the bitters run deep and the vinyl spins romantic classics. Sip rare Amari and Fernets, nibble seasonal small plates, and browse specialty Italian pantry goods before dinner at La Medusa next door.

Frequently asked questions

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

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.

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?
