Walking down Queen Anne Avenue, if you blink, you might miss the place — the O Lounge is a tiny blip of a bar. But wander by on just the right night and you may be pleasantly surprised at whom you'll find soloing on stage. In fact, maybe this blip of a bar is just what Seattle music fans are thirsty for.

At the intersection of Ballard Avenue and Market Street, the BalMar marks the intersection of two generations: old Ballard and the new, urban village it has become.

I know some cringe at the thought of dining out alone, though I've always enjoyed going solo. Sometimes this girl just wants to nosh and sip cocktails minus-one or sans the entire posse. After a hectic day at the office, I look forward to a pleasant meal out on my own with no distractions. Don't get me wrong, my friends are all fabulous, and yes, there's no place like home if you want to be alone. Yet, an empowering, self-indulgent time out on the town is often necessary.

Las Vegas taught me how to drink. In my 11 years of trawling the city's bars, I moved from Coronas and Schlitz Darks to Bombay Sapphire Martinis and neat bourbons. In the course of my job (which I no longer remember, to be honest with you; I think I was originally a nightlife columnist), I visited hundreds of Vegas bars, each more exciting than the one before.
