Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood is known for being delightfully quirky and eccentric. So it should come as no surprise that it’s home to one of Washington’s most unique spots, a combination of an old-fashioned vinyl library and a classic cocktail bar. And if you love old-fashioned records and a good drink, you’ll definitely want to check it out.

Life on Mars opened in June on Pike Street on Capitol Hill.

The opening came after months of anticipation. And with a concept this cool, it's understandable.
Life on Mars is a collaborative effort between four industry locals who are all invested in the music scene.

John Richards hosts KEXP’s popular program John in the Morning, Amy Richards is from Pair Music Collective, Leigh Sims is from Wake Up Productions, a music and arts events company, and Steven Severin co-owns several local music venues.
So... do you shop for vinyl or listen to it while you're here? The answer is both!

Visit the bar from 4 to 7 p.m Monday through Saturday and from open to close on Sunday to pick out some vinyl to play. Just choose from the wall of vinyl or from the featured vinyl for sale, bring it up to the bar, and enjoy.
