Smith Tower Observatory & Bar

Seattle's first skyscraper pairs local history with an open-air observation deck taking in the city, the Sound, and the stadiums. Inside, the space centers on the 35th-floor Chinese Room, outfitted with elaborately carved ceiling tiles and authentic teakwood furniture gifted by the Empress of China. Interactive exhibits on its bootlegging past frame the prohibition-themed bar, where drinks and dishes like pork potstickers accompany the setting, though experiences with service and events like afternoon tea can vary.
