      <content>If it is a vintage bar and or vintage bar-ware you are looking for Antika at 8421 Greenwood Ave. has some great things, I bought some 1950s blue glass with pokadots shot glasses that  I love, I am thinking of going there this next week to see about getting a cool 1950s bar. </content>

      <content>The Collective in Ballard has good stuff too in the realm of the older style fold out bar sets.  Current issue is that I only just started working after about 10 months unemployment, so I'm not buying any furniture.  =(</content>

      <content>=)  Truth be told, I can't think of a way to take the original question where I don't want to hear the answer.

I mean, the furniture side is good, but so is the place to go drink.  Mike's Chili Parlor is actually the first place I think of when I think 'vintage bar' in that sense.  Same building since the 30s, probably the same bar since then too.  I'm sure there's a bar or two in Pioneer Square that is similarly aged.</content>

      <content>For vintage cocktails, check out the Zig Zag. 

For "low-brow" vintage, J &amp; M Cafe (aka J &amp; M Saloon &amp; Card Room). Not recommended on weekends unless you're looking for the frat-boy experience. Decent burger at lunch &amp; decent taps. 

For "high-brow" vintage, the Virginia Inn. Closing soon for expansion - they're finally building a real kitchen. Reasonable prices on single-malt scotches &amp; the best curated cheese plate in the city. </content>
