Belltown Pub has closed. Not yet updated on nwbrewpage.com.
Instead, go to the Virginia Inn, also no 1st, and not very
far north of the Pike Pub.

Hopscotch closed a long time ago.

Hopvine is well out of downtown. You'll need a taxi or bus.

If you go up to the Elysian, the Six Arms (McMenamins) is between the
Elysian and downtown.

From 1st Ave. downtown, take a 15 or 18 bus northbound (but *not* an
express!) and get off near 1st and Mercer, right where the bus makes a
left turn. Go to Floyd's Place. 29 taps. Good joint. Scotch too,
and very good bourbon selection. You're also within walking distance
of T.S. McHugh's, JaBu's, and McMenamins on Roy Street.

Your best bet is quite a way from downtown: Bottleworks, in the
Wallingford district on N. 45th Street. Call first to see if they
still have some of last year's ASP. Mind you, there are plenty of
other goodies to buy there anyway.

If you get bored, you can also hit Gordon Biersch and Rock Bottom
in downtown Seattle. C'mon, they aren't that bad, are they?

Don, Don, Don... you're forgetting Collins Pub, on 2nd Ave, in Pioneer
Square. Very nice lineup, esp. since he tends to focus on 1 brewer or
so at a time, with 6 taps or so devoted to that brewer; then, the next
month, he'll move on. I've no idea who he's featuring now. It's the
best place downtown, IMO.

If you feel like leaving downtown, then hop in a cab or bus and go up
to Big Time, in the University District. Or, for alehouses, go to the
Old Town, in Ballard.
