You can’t choose your family, but you can choose to leave
your family shortly after the last scraps of dessert go down. They’ll
be belching and patting their guts, and you’ll need a
sanity-restoring drink. Some of our favorite bars keep the
not-at-home fires burning for Fat Thursday: the Baranof in Greenwood,
karaoke at Bush Garden in the ID (have dinner at China Gate
beforehand), and Liberty, Moe Bar, and the newly de-cobwebbed
Canterbury on Capitol Hill. (There are more. Search for open bars in
your neighborhood, and join the other merry holiday refugees, at
thestranger.com/chow.)
