The SceneFar from the flashier 15th Avenue watering holes, this luminous neighborhood stop off has an understated elegance, with a blond wood bar and plenty of natural light. The room is narrow, but inviting, featuring sturdy, solid wood fixtures that befit the bar's emphasis on quality ingredients.The DrawRegional craft brewers are celebrated here. Favorites from Mirror Pond, Mac & Jack's and Hales are on tap, as well as some lesser-known Northwest brews. A similar commitment applies to the strong lineup of edibles; you'll find no deep fryer here. Sandwiches are constructed out of Boar's Head meats and breads from Essential Bakery. Live music running the gamut from folk and jazz, to quieter rock acts can be heard on weekends.
