Kincora Pub

Located in the heart of the Pike/Pine corridor, Kincora Pub caters to the diverse crowds that frequent the neighborhood’s bars and clubs. On any given night, you’ll find old-school fans of rock, punk, or hardcore hanging out in the wooden booths, nodding along to whatever the DJ or (the well-outfitted) jukebox is playing. Every once in a while, a band even shows up and plays a set. The slightly battered couches and well-loved pool table give the pub a cozy feeling, as do the friendly bartenders—even as they’re denying your debit card and telling you that the bar only takes cash. A visit to the ATM is worth it—the Kincora crowd is refreshingly unaffected, the drinks are reasonably priced, the pinball machines are played with enthusiasm, and the corner location is great for taking in the hill’s bustling action. 518 E. Pine St., 206-325-0436.
