The Twilight Exit
For most people, Capitol Hill bars are restricted to the Pike-Pine corridor, a handful of places on 15th, and The Crescent. Those brave enough to venture further up the hill find a drinking oasis in the Twilight Exit, the best bar in Seattle that no one goes to. Dimly lit, spacious, unpretentious, and cheap, the Exit knows its role and plays it well. The standard characters are present: aging punk rockers who want to drink in peace from the novices, restaurant workers tying one on after work, and drunk middle-aged contractor from Spokane who will ask to buy weed from you. Complete with pool, arcade games, and a strong jukebox, the Exit has most of the drinking distractions that most Capitol Hill bars lack. It might be a little bit off the beaten-to-death path of the Seattle bar scene, but the Exit wouldn't have it any other way.
