It kind of depends where you're at in the city. If you're in Capitol Hill, Jimmy T's is a nice little diner and Mr. Henry's is a solid local bar type of place (if you like live jazz and a chill atmosphere).

Don't do the Nightly Spirits ghost tour--I did it once with a friend from out-of-town. They abandoned us at the second stop when we went to go to the bathroom even though we let the guide know. No one ever answered the phones and I wasn't able to get a refund.
