Just in time for Seattle's sun-kissed months, two rooftop bars debut in Pioneer Square and on Capitol Hill. Plan ahead: Both will likely be packed in the coming weeks, especially on weekends. The good news? Several other new wine and beer-tasting rooms also boast beer gardens and patios in this list of six new Seattle bars. As for slushies and margaritas ... do you have to even ask?
