(BAR HOPPING) The bars along Eastlake Avenue that face I-5 are uniquely relaxed yet enchanting. You'll find
friendly staff, easy prices, and comfy booths occupied by punks and pretty girls. Start with soup and a sandwich at
Cafe Venus, then slink back into the darker
marsBar to wash your day down with an imported beer. Next, swagger south to the
Lobo Saloon for a game of pool. End at lovely
Lo_Fi where Fourthcity's enduring live-hiphop party ($4) is still going strong two years on. (
429–609 Eastlake Ave E, between Harrison and Roy Sts.)
