There are so many of both it is hard to say. One of my favorites is the Dog & Pony in Renton as they always have lots and lots of good beer on tap.

If you are looking for a country bar with live music there is pretty much 1 choice in the Seattle area.
The Little Red Hen www.littleredhen.com
lol.... I go there. Beer is expensive and the dance floor is small. It is sweet.

What kind of bike riding?
Shortys has cheap beer, punk music, hot dogs and pin ball. Whisky bar is good too, 1$ pbr and 2$ shots for happy hour.

I'm pretty happy with my 31.8 Truvativ Hussefelt DH bars.
dog and pony looks good, but its gonna be a bit far by bike i think. Shortys and Whisky bar look like a good time, ill prolly be frequenting them.
i ride mainly xc and road.

It is close to some of the local trails, but yeah you would need to drive from Seattle to get there.
What part of the city you movin to? I dont do much x/c tapeworm and saint edwards is worth cheakin out.
There's not much XC going on over here on this board. You're better off getting that info over at the mtbr/WA forum or off the Backcountry Bicycle Trails Club list serve. www.bbtc.org
Lot's of places to ride here as well as get your drink on. After all, biking and booze go together. But, it does also depend on where you'll be living so we can send you to a place that will be crawling distance home.
I will second the Dog and Pony though. Good beer, and good beer always means that even marginal food is good.
Give us a shout when you get closer. If you are an XC guy with a road problem, we'll get you on some looong backcountry rides.

im going to be living at U of washington.
im down for any kind of riding, i just dont have the money for a DH bike and being 5 foot has posed a bit of problem for borrowing bikes from my buddies.

there is a ton of great xc riding around the greater seattle area but mtbr has an A-Z listing of mountain biking all over washington it should be no problem finding some great riding.
Stop by Recycled Cycles when you get into town. Both Jumping Jesus & I work there as well as some other avid riders. We can at least point you in the right direction as far as resources and organizations.
DBR i was gonna call you guys today actually, i need to ship my bikes out there and i didnt know if recycled cycles does that.
Shortys has a Robotron Machine.
pnj, they're going to be living at the U.
Bella, there's plenty of urban in the area but the closest dirt is/will be at Colonnade park which will be a nice spin right past Recycled over to under I-5. Will be great for that after school session to keep the skills sharp. Lots of progress pictures here and on the BBTC website.
