Smith Tower

This cultural icon and architectural wonder boasts a storied past that helps tell the history of downtown Seattle. The Pioneer Square venue, which will be celebrating its 108th anniversary this July 4, boasts a small museum and shop downstairs, and exquisite 360-degree panoramas from its 35th-floor Observatory Bar. This art deco, speakeasy-inspired space features ornate decor, incredible views, light bites and seasonal cocktails. A new springtime menu spotlights dishes like Taiwanese Beef Noodles and Kaffir Lime Pie, plus creative cocktails like the Leschi Lychee (Haku Japanese vodka, lychee syrup, yuzu) and the Yesler Old Fashioned (barrel-aged Woodinville rye, vanilla simple, black walnut bitters).
