I have your next night out in Capitol Hill

starting at this adorable speakeasy Knee High Stocking.

The art and decor are fantastic, and the drinks

are even better. If you're a vodka person,

mine came with some smoky lavender! And once the hunger starts kicking in,

it's time to move over to Donna's for their late night happy hour deal.

You really can't go wrong! We got three different dishes and loved them all.

I'd also recommend trying the mac and cheese balls for a cheesy appetizer.

Our only challenge was seating. We all know it gets busy on Capitol Hill on weekends,

A lot of people were coming and going, and we were able

to snag a spot at the bar pretty easily to dig in.

but this sip and paint night with Stir Up the Paint made me feel

like, maybe just maybe, I might have an artistic bone in my body.

So head to Alki Arts in West Seattle with me to become an artist for the night.

Alki Arts was an incredible venue filled with beautiful,

inspiring artwork from true professionals that had me in awe.

We took a look at the painting we were going to attempt to create,

then grabbed a glass of wine before class started.

It was incredible just how quickly every brush stroke filled the canvas and

began to transform a blank slate into a surprisingly passable piece of artwork.

was encouraging and helped each of us feel empowered

and confident as we worked through the details

to create our Lighthouse at Sunset masterpieces.

Sip your way through five iconic bars and speakeasies in a historic Seattle neighborhood. 

Here's your plan for exploring Belltown's cocktail bars, starting at the State Hotel. Enjoy

🍸Explore Belltown’s best cocktail bars 🍸

Start your exploration of Belltown's cocktail scene at the State Hotel by meeting your guide.

Cocktail Bar Tour

✅ Before you go
• Attempting to park downtown can be atrocious, I recommend taking the Seattle Link — the State Hotel is less than a 10 minute walk from the Westlake station. 
• Learn more about the tour and book your ticket here: https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/savor-seattle-tours/items/616675/calendar/2025/04/?full-items=yes&back=https://www.savorseattletours.com/&gclid=CjwKCAjwzMi_BhACEiwAX4YZUMM17PZ8bBDV9IPGX55g8hteLv4vPrywolA9v-Wcfpo6aw4DZfo9IRoCSHIQAvD_BwE&g4=yes


💪 Pro tips
• Wear comfortable shoes as there is a bit of walking involved. 
• I met so many great, kind people on my tour! I encourage you to say hello and make friends :) 
• I recommend getting to the State Hotel about 15 minutes early so you can get settled in and use the restroom, if needed! (I recommend using the restroom beforehand since you only get a set amount of time to enjoy your drink at each bar).
• You probably passed a ton of restaurants on your tour — consider getting dinner at one of them! My friend and I decided to split pasta at Limoncello and it was delicious! 

Meet your tour guide at the State Hotel

If you're looking for a unique way to explore Belltown,

you should definitely take this cocktail tour.

Savor Seattle's Craft Cocktail & Mocktail Tour starts at the State Hotel.

It lasts anywhere between 2 to 2.5 hours,

your guide will bring you to 5 different bars or speakeasies through Belltown.

At each spot you'll get about a half drink pour,

I was so excited to see that they offered mocktails.

And just because I don't want to spoil the tour for you,

I won't tell you everywhere our tour guide, Judson, took us.

So Judson is an absolutely insane storyteller,

and of course every cocktail has a story.

After breaking down the concept behind the drink as well as the ingredients,

Even though I've been in Seattle for about 5 years at this point,

Not only was I introduced to new places that

I'm so excited to bring my friends back to,

but I also learned a lot about Seattle's fascinating history.

It was also just fun being able to explore Belltown because

for some reason I don't go down there that often.

This was such a great way to spend my afternoon

and I love being a tourist in my own city.

Head over to Silken Ceramics! 

It's been a while since I've taken one and I thought

it would be a great way to spend my afternoon.

So I headed over to Silken Ceramics to take their day of clay class,

Day of Clay is a really great way to try out

the pottery wheel without committing to an eight week course.

the instructor then took us over to the wheel

where she showed us how to prep our space,

it was then my turn to try out for myself.

And even though I've taken a couple of ceramics classes in my life,

But that's OK because the instructors were there

to help me every step of the way and answer any questions I had.

My friend decided to make a plate for her cat and I ended up with

this cup that I'm so excited about because I think it turned out really well.

and then I was faced with the hard decision of which piece I wanted to keep,

My friend and I had so much fun doing this,

and we can't wait to see how our pieces turned out when we picked them up.
