    The Bookstore Bar is proud to receive the nod for Best Hotel Bar in Seattle in Seattle Magazine's "Best of 2003." Conveniently located on First Avenue (and Madison), the Bookstore Bar can be entered from First Avenue or via the entrance to the Alexis Hotel. The Bookstore Bar features a wide variety of microbrews, imports, wines from the Northwest and from around the world, specialty drinks and coffee. It also boasts one of the largest selections of single malt scotches in the city, with more than 50 to choose from. The same dishes that Chef Warner offers next door at the Library Bistro can be ordered in the Bookstore Bar. Lunch entrees include fish and chips and smoked salmon salad. The Bookstore Bar not only permits the smoking of cigarettes and cigars, but it sells them too.
