Smith is a neighborhood pub. Large selection of beer, wine and cocktails and the food is great (sort of pumped up pub food).

Drinks & Nightlife
Good place to drink beer and hangout. Optimism does not serve food, but you can bring anything in. We often get a slice or two from Sizzle Pie just a few doors down, but Optimism also has a food truck parked out back that changes daily.

Sightseeing
The home of the KEXP radio station (90.3 and online at KEXP.ORG) is a great place to visit and also holds a fantastic coffee shop. Great place to get a coffee, listen to music and hang out.
