FX McRory’s Steak, Chop & Oyster House

This vast Pioneer Square landmark across from the sports stadiums is a weird blend of class and ass – it’s a majestic old space with a bar on one side, a fancy dining room on the other and an oyster bar in between, but the ball-cap/jock quotient gets high on days when the Seahawks or Mariners play. McRory’s claims to have the largest selection of bourbon in the world – believable when you ogle the pyramid of booze behind the bar. Tuck into classic fare like prime rib or Dungeness crab, or share a seafood platter of oysters on the half-shell, smoked salmon, prawns, crab, Penn Cove mussels and scallops.
