Damn the Weather

In the heart of the rejuvenated Pioneer Square area, Damn the Weather exemplifies the new trend in combining craft cocktails and small bites, plus a dose of whimsy. The food menu has a housemade hot dog and a Caesar salad sandwich—so messy and so delicious; drinks include a few local beers on tap, and craft cocktails like the Haitian Old Fashioned with creole bitters and Rhum Barbancourt. Seats can be hard to come by during happy hour, though there is a street-side standing area during the summer.
