You'll have to look hard to find this hidden Pike Place Market bar. It's on one of the landings of the Pike Street Hill Climb, which is the staircase that links the market with the waterfront. Perfectly crafted cocktails, both classic and contemporary, are the specialty here and are so well made that the bar has garnered national recognition.
