I'll definitely put that on my "When I'm in Seattle" list, thanks. I'd love to see more of that in the U.S. but I think that bars are typically thought of as "nightlife" rather than as places to socialize. Furthermore, I think a lot of towns are spread out enough that the sheer amount of travel involved in getting to an area where bars and restaurants are zoned, really undermines the living room feel. I've really enjoyed living in very walkable places and I think that cities and towns structured around pedestrians do a lot better in terms of culturing an atmosphere of socialization than their American analogs.
