Heading back to the Pop Museum we learned that they weren’t done “filming” the Sci-Fi exhibit. We were then told that they were to be done by 1:30 and that we could come back. We used the monorail return option and went back and hung around downtown and Pike Market. There are so many shops underneath the food market. The timing did mess up a few things we wanted to squeeze in, but oh well. Back to the museum. Walking back to Pike Market we stopped in at the Lava Lounge. The Lava Lounge is described as a dive bar. I suppose it is, but growing up in taverns in Canada it looks just like a regular bar to me. While it doesn’t have the cocktails to speak of it does have great décor including some older carvings scattered about and the back bar is held up by some very large carvings. Again, to me another relaxed bar in the afternoon with a great bartender. There were reggae bands later apparently and the music being played was pretty urban, but not overly loud. Certainly, worth going in for a beer and checking out the décor. From there it was off to Pike Place Market and supper and watch the sunset before going to hotel and packing.
