Seattle for guys
 
Hey everyone, I'm going up to seattle in a couple weeks for the 49ers/seahawks game with a buddy and I'm looking for suggestions on "guy stuff" to do. Pool halls, cool restaurants/bars, strip clubs... etc

We're staying near the stadium, Hotel vintage park. Any ideas?

bump. Also things like fishing might be good.

Any reccomendations on steakhouses?

sandiegojoe Sep 17th, 2004 04:15 PM

bump. C'mon you know that you know some good spots.

For steakhouses go to the Met! If you are there on a weeknight they actually have a great happy hour of mini steak sandwiches and martini's!

Also in Occidental Square there is a very fun pool place called the Triangle Pub.

By the stadium is a great place for beers before the game- FX McCorys. Also in Pioneer Square on 1st and jackson is Cowgirls which I hear is popular for the guys!

Another 'guy' thing may be to have drinks and cigars at El Gaucho. You'll have to dress nice for this one.

Sorry I can't help you with Stip joints! not my style ;)

Have fun!

I cannot emphasize enough how critical to the operation it is that you guys go to Cowgirls. Go after the game, there will be a crowd from the stadium headed there. It's about a 10 minute walk. Just think girls in mini skirts riding a mechanical bull...

Loki, you are too funny!!

Hey I made a mistake....the pool place I'm thinking of is called Temple billiards. 126 S. Jackson St.

Don't forget to catch some live music in Pioneer Square. The New Orleans and Larrys usually have great blues going on.

Ahem, with regard to strip clubs, the (one guys like best) in town is called "Rick's".

It is perhaps 5 to 7 miles away from mid-town Seattle on Lake City Way, to the northeast but the antics that go on there far exceed those of the dreary downtown Deja Vu near the corner of 1st and Pike. (a mile or two due north of stadium)

There's also some great gay clubs in Seattle. Lots of guys there. In fact, almost only guys.

Depends on which ones, MikeT. Some are mostly girls.

MikeT Sep 21st, 2004 04:57 PM

This is true, gracie. Not sure how "guys weekend" a lesbian bar is, although, come to think of it, is probably some twisted straight guy fantasy. For the women in the bar--not so much.
