Among the evocative pleasures of lyrical Manolin in Fremont—see underwater-blue subway tile, see curving bar surrounding flaming wood oven, see my review in the April Seattle Met—is an outdoor fire pit that’s already seen plenty of use this balmy winter.

Last week the good folks there even swung open the French doors in full dress rehearsal for the pleasures of summer, serving patrons outside around the warming fire.

What other joints take advantage of Seattle’s mild off season with outdoor fire pits? 'Tis the season for finding out. Here’s where:

Joule Korean meat, cocktails, leaping flames

Quality Athletics Fire heightens the testosterone quotient on the patio of this Pioneer Square sports bar.

Revel/Quoin A sweet fire pit feels hidden on the back deck.

RockCreek Seafood Apparently Fremont is the outdoor-fire capital of Seattle?

Hollywood Tavern The stone fire pit sits between the restaurant, the bar, and the distillery here in the heart of Woodinville.

The Shelter Lounge This Ballard bar lets you roast s’mores on its fire pit. Come on.

Westward The granddaddy: A beachside fire pit to make Seattle feel like the Hamptons.

What have I missed?
