staying in seattle for a few days for a convention , *this weekend*

[importking]

Kind of last minute but I got the word that Im flying from SF to Seattle.

I never ever been here & have no idea what to do or where to check out for drinks and dinner.

I have a limit on meals that will be reimbursed from my company.

Good bars to check out ? Restaurants ? anything going on epic this weekend in the city ? cool "head shops" ?

I am going to be staying at the westin seattle - (1900 Fifth Avenue)

any help would be appreciated , thanks again #NT

Head to one of Tom Douglas' restaurants (most are within a few blocks of that hotel, to the north): Palace Kitchen, Dahlia Lounge, Serious Pie (pizza), Lola (Greek). Another good restaurant is Barolo. It's literally across the street from the front of the hotel.

Downtown doesn't really have great bars (ever since Vessel closed). Taphouse Grill (on 6th Ave, about three blocks south of the hotel) has a ton of beers.

The main thing to know about downtown Seattle is that it's really walkable. It's a five minute walk to the heart of Belltown which has tons of bars. Just walk up and down 1st Ave (your hotel straddles 5th and 6th).
