"No, we’re not sending you to some random classroom on campus where all of the kids who couldn’t get into an a cappella group sit around a fake campfire and sing folk songs and look at compasses. The Mountaineering Club is a cool rooftop bar at the Graduate Hotel. The space is designed as if an Eagle Scout troop had an interior design merit badge on the line, and the outdoor patio has one of the best skyline views in the city. The camping theme extends into the drinks—our favorite is the Whidbey Island iced tea, spiked with blackberry liqueur. If you must eat here, get the bacon sandwich." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
