Monique Ducey: Get a white lady. Delicious gin drink :)
Seattle Met: Sun Liquor is a top Seattle spot for old-timey gin drinks—its owner and manager are so obsessed with that spirit, in fact, they’re distilling their own at a second location a few blocks south. Read more.
Brad Graham: "The decor is tiki bar-slash-opium den. The bar makes its own gin and vodka, which goes nicely with fresh juice squeezed to order. And appropriately, they make a mean Mai Tai."

Thrillist: The crew behind Von's has transformed the former Wolfgang Puck's/Ipanema space into a glossy bastion of booziness on Harbor Steps where, in keeping with their name, they've got over 1000 spirits. Read more.
Katie D'Amato: Absolutely love the cocktail, le perroquet - Campari, gin, champagne, orange, lemon. I die!
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
Arminda Guillama-Rodriguez: Tiny and very popular, make sure to get there early to snag a table, but well worth the wait. Oysters are fresh, bartender knows his stuff - try to get a seat at the bar to watch all the action!
Men's Health Mag: Grab dinner at Café Campagne, the hotel's romantic French bistro, then wander the market before grabbing a Miller's gin martini at the legendary Zig Zag cocktail bar. Read more.
