Emmett Watson's Oyster Bar

Restaurant · Pike Place Market

"Here’s where to go if you want a break from the tourists. Even if they stumble on Emmett Watson’s (named for the old-timey journalist who founded it), they’ll probably turn around and walk right out. The decor is faded and a bit grimey; this is a bona fide dive. But stay awhile and order a drink, some $2 oysters — we’re not ready to recommend anything else on the menu — and you’ll find it to be a welcoming, relaxed place that feels more like old Seattle than the market." - Harry Cheadle
