Cocktail Bar · 151 tips and reviews
Loren Judah: Best cocktails in Seattle. Order an aged cocktail for a truly unique taste.
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!
Daniel Tewfik: Pork buns were a surprisingly good amount of food. Delicious cocktails too. 🍸

Graham McIntyre: Introduce yourself to Murray Stenson, the mixologist extraordinaire. Ask him what's good to order, and have an amazing custom made cocktail.
Jacob Casey: Excellent service -- even when it's busy. Ask for any whiskey cocktail and they will wow you. Perfect place for a drink with a date before or after a movie or performance close by.
Troy Flint: Lovely staff, well crafted cocktails with no attitude and plenty of care on cozy confines. A true winner.

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.
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.
Micah Spieler: Best of both worlds: fantastic cocktails and amazing sushi.

Cocktail Bar · Pioneer Square · 58 tips and reviews
Tenielle Goldlist: APFM: The classic Pioneer Square brick space with great cocktails
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!
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.
sunny rahbar: Everything! Cocktails, oysters, delicious boquerones, the radish salad with butter, and finally the medjool dates with olive oil and sea salt. Too good!
Cameron S: Excellent cocktails and food. Get a pre-dinner drink at Barnacle while you wait for your table.
Samantha Jonker: Everything! Best oysters I've ever had, amazing steak tartare and fantastic cocktails

Cocktail Bar · Phinney Ridge · 37 tips and reviews
Steve S: get the truffle popcorn and a manhattan and be happy.
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.
Bravo: What’s great about this place is that the mixologists create great cocktails to pair well with the delicious food. You can’t go wrong. -Maria Hines, Top Chef

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
Stove Chops: Excellent pho, great cocktails, great background music, wonderfully relaxed atmosphere!
