Kristine Gelsano: So far we've had the Pork Belly Sliders, the Flank Steak Succotash, and the Chicken Pesto. The bartenders are fun and make you feel safe to play "roulette" (a fun cocktail option!). Pork loin d'best!
Derrick Deese: Cocktails Are fantastic. Try the swagger. They also have an $1100 cocktail for those feeling themselves that night (but not likely in the morning)
Daniel Tewfik: Pork buns were a surprisingly good amount of food. Delicious cocktails too. 🍸

elizabeth Scott: Delicious cocktails with a nice bar. Peek your head upstairs. Read more.
Valentina Vitols: One of the coolest bars in town. Great cocktails (they make a great rendition of the Hot Charlotte) & small plates. Their fried chicken is legendary. Ask for The Needle and Thread. You may be in luck!
Kathryn H: Even though it's known for cocktails, the food is also outstanding, and makes for a great, quiet dinner on a weeknight.

Stas Gray: Fantastic coctails! Great sushi as well and they serve it late into the night. Awesome chill bar, come here to take it easy and enjoy some delicious drinks and snacks.
Karissa Peters: Delicious, original scratch cocktails.
Stacey Hanson: One of the best cocktail bars in Seattle. Get a flight of whatever liquor you want - local gins, for example. They'll leave the bottles at your table for you to check them out.
Cooper Marcus: Pork belly sliders and hamburger are truly outstanding - plus the interior design and mixology is top notch
Steve Braband: Ask for a bourbon based drink, get the best old fashioned in history.
Loren Judah: A great speakeasy style experience. No menu, just let them know what you like. Get experimental for a truly unique cocktail.
Lloyd: Rated as one of the best restaurant in America by many critics, this little hidden gem serves fresh oysters and mussels along with other small dishes. Unique flavors and terrific wine, cocktail & beer
David Townsend: Loved every bit of this place. Excellent oysters. Grilled sardines, beef cheek terrine and steak tartare Also bartender made an excellent cocktail of gin, dry vermouth, absinthe, soda and celery
Cameron S: Excellent cocktails and food. Get a pre-dinner drink at Barnacle while you wait for your table.

Felicia Williams: Wonderful cocktails with all star staff that hail from the best places in Seattle. Have the steak tartare and make sure to ask the bartenders for a custom drink :)
Marija Bogic: I love this place. The atmosphere is lively and yet with dimmed lights very personal. The bar makes delicious cocktails (French 75 - yummy!) and the food is good. The staff are super friendly.
Jeannie Virden: OMG... what isn't great here! Food, cocktails, and service are all on point! My only complaint is it isn't in Texas!

Cocktail Bar · Phinney Ridge · 37 tips and reviews
The Seattle Times: Outside of Ballard, the best bar to grab a cocktail up north is Oliver's Twist. And at $6 a cocktail, it still offers one of the best deals for artisanal cocktails. Happy hour 5-7, all day Sunday. Read more.
James Whetzel: Some of the best cocktails in Seattle, they have new ones all the time; I & my peeps swear by the "dark & stormy." The popcorn is awesome, really, perhaps the best appetizer on the menu-oily good.
Kassi Sandstrom: Great cocktails & all day Sunday happy hour. Small bites/tapas menu but no full entrees.

Vietnamese Restaurant · 137 tips and reviews
Eric Tigre: Ba Bar evokes a modern update of a 60s French colonial officers club outfitted with a bakery, disco ball and orchids. Street food-inspired menu offers fresh bun bowls, pho, dumplings and cocktails. Read more.
Carmen: Original cocktails: didn't regret trying Señor Fluffy Pants, paired well with the pâté chaud, fried frog legs, and imperial rolls. Excellent "trip" to Saigon for a Vietnamese French culinary melange
Silvia Adriana: Great food and good environment. Any Vermicelli plate is tasty and cocktails are very good.
