North of downtown Seattle across Lake Union, Fremont is a consciously hip, mostly white middle-class area, with a spate of used bookshops and artsy cafés. The hub is the stretch of Fremont Avenue N that runs, beginning at the Fremont Bridge, from N 34th to N 37th streets, where the Fremont Sunday Market (April-Nov 10am-5pm) fills up a parking lot with produce stalls and a flea market. In summer, the neighborhood hosts the Fremont Outdoor Cinema ( ), which projects classic films against a building wall on Saturdays at dusk, with live music and entertainment before all shows. A big attraction in Fremont's industrial section is the Trolleyman Pub housed in the historic Redhook Brewery building, 3400 Phinney Ave N, where beer is no longer brewed on site, but where you can still order a pint or taste a few samples to find your match. Additionally, fans of public art should check out the curious local sculptures , the best of the bunch being the Fremont Troll lurking under the Aurora Bridge at 36th Street and Aurora Avenue.
