Tini Bigs, Seattle

A hotspot for after-work booze hounds, sinlges seekers and pre- and post-activity revellers, Tini Bigs is loud and crowded, but offers one of the best bar menus in the city, and probably the best martini list hands-down.

Summer evenings see the punters spilling out into the handful of outdoor tables and chairs, but for the most part Tini's small setting makes an evening there a cramped affair. Turn up early (or really late) to experience the best crowd level.

Pack a wad of $20's too. Though you certainly get your money's worth with the large, punch-providing cocktails, at around $8 a pop your wallet will be reeling after just an hour of knocking back their great martinis and cosmopolitans (we easily put away $200+ with a group of six).

Food options include a variety of tasty snack items that do a fine job of soaking up the bite of the powerful beverages: sizeable sandwiches, rich satays, cornmeal-dusted calamari and the ever-popular hummus plate.

Note:
Located on the busy corner of Denny and 1st, street parking is a no-go here, unless you don't mind a hike. There is a pay lot just behind Tini Bigs if you want to shell out for the typical Seattle parking fees.
