Juanita Village is one of those high-density, mixed-use developments
determined to inject some small-town charm into the suburban landscape.
This Kirkland enclave has a distinctly European look. Low-rise
apartment buildings and town houses sport colorful, variegated facades,
some with balconies. Among the boutiques, salons and specialty stores
lining the meandering, pedestrian-friendly streets are numerous spots
to eat and drink — among them 6-month-old Brix Wine Cafe.

With ladies' night (Wednesdays) at Interbay Golf Center and the coed miniature-golf league from Underdog Sports, chicks with sticks now have many opportunities to wow the boys with their fairway prowess. Unfortunately, golf fashions for women fall short. A baggy polo tucked into front-pleated shorts looks good on nobody. You hear me? Nobody.

Life Behind Bars
To paraphrase a line from "When Harry Met Sally," "Wine bars are to people in the ‘00s what restaurants were to people in the ‘90s." And why not? There is something inherently theatrical about the culture of wine.

Seattle barflies seem to disregard the Eastside, but just over the 520 Bridge are some swanky new clubs and long-time favorite taverns. Whether you're after a dive bar where you can listen to Pat Benatar or a place to be seen with your Prada purse, there's a perfect spot for you outside of the Seattle city limits.
