In typical Seattle wacky weather fashion, it seems like we’re done with spring and skipping right to summer. With fantastic views of Lake Union, the Space Needle, and the glittering Seattle skyline, there might not be a better neighborhood in the city than SLU for patio dining and drinking. Get your name in early at these hot spots (pun intended).

ALTITUDE Sky Lounge at the Astra Hotel already impresses with its epic vantage and its updated spring menu that includes five new house crafted cocktails is simply icing on the al fresco cake. Nosh on pimento cheese dip made with Beecher’s cheese or some premium tinned fish and sip on some summer flavors like the Opening Day (Gunpowder Gin, Dill, cucumber, jalapeno, salt, agave, lime). The description from ALTITUDE should get you in the mood for a rooftop deck visit: “As a young child, restless from winter’s slumber, I remember the first day of warmth. The smell of fresh cut grass, a crisp yet warm breeze blowing through open windows. The sun shining brightly with the sound of baseball being called through transistor radio. The hopes of Summer shortly arriving.”
