The Bookstore Bar at The Alexis Hotel: A Seattle Icon

The Bookstore Bar is a Seattle must. On First Avenue at the Alexis Hotel, this café and bar is a local hotspot and Seattle institution. Grab a drink. Eat a meal. Read a book.

The Bookstore Bar is famous for its vast whiskey library and flavorful food pairings. But its iconic Seattle status goes even deeper. An extensive selection of wines by the glass, menus that appeal to a wide range of tastes and appetites, towering floor-to-ceiling windows that let you watch the world go by and seasonal sidewalk seating for beautiful downtown Seattle days make us a neighborhood favorite.

Books

Yup, The Bookstore Bar really is a bookstore, too. The selection is as fun, eclectic and classy as our clientele. All books: $5. Looking: Free.
