Definitely a place for the locals, tucked away in Pike Place market, just around the corner from Il Bistro, Alibi Room has the best bloody marys I’ve ever had.

Citysearch voted Alibi Room to have the best bloody marys in 2006. And I couldn’t agree more. I’m not a big fan of the food there to be honest. I always feel it’s highly mediocre. The crab cakes are always too fishy and dry, and the chicken is tough and gamey. So I don’t go there for food. Just bloody marys and maybe a light bar snack to take down the spiciness of the bloody marys.

There’s always an eclectic crowd followed by eclectic bands. So it’s always an interesting experience. The staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable.
