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. 🍸

Stas Gray: I recommend the Champs Elysees. Best coctail in the house. In general Zig Zag has a great ambiance and is a great place for a date or to just hang out with friends after a long day of work.
Graham McIntyre: Introduce yourself to Murray Stenson, the mixologist extraordinaire. Ask him what's good to order, and have an amazing custom made cocktail.

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.
Abbie Griffin: Great cocktails and delicious sushi! The service was great too! Great little place!
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.

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!
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!

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.
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.
