Top 10 Bars & Clubs in Ballard, Washington (WA)
In Seattle you simply can’t skip the Central Public Library – a modern architectural marvel of glass grids, unusual shapes, and a “book spiral” that climbs four stories. Stroll over to Pike Place Market to visit the original Starbucks and play catch with a fishmonger. In the heart of the city lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, which will dazzle you with its colorful and delicate works. Glide to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Puget Sound.

Tractor has quickly become one of my favorite Venues in Seattle, and for good reason. While it hosts a lot of Country, Americana, and Folk shows, overall the Tractor brings an eclectic mix of all types of Music. They attract Bands with large pulls, so shows often sellout, get your tickets early! The size of the Venue is perfect, intimate, but still roomy enough where you are not packed, really not a bad place to be in the Venue, often times you can find yourself right on the stage. There is some bench style seating against the wall, for less crowded shows they will generally bring in a few tables for those sitting on the benches. Recently renovated to add a new bar out front, it can be a way to purchase drinks if there is a long bar line, as well as the addition of an additional bathroom. Tickets for shows are generally will call, and will always be 21+. Plenty of good food/drinks nearby for some prefunking or if you are looking for something to do after. If you like live music you will not be disappointed with the Tractor.

A group of us stopped by the Shelter lounge in Ballard for drinks on Friday. Many of us had been here several times in the past. This place is always consistent with the quality drinks. Service is friendly and quick. We’ll certainly be back.
