With in-house ingredients informed by the kitchen (black-pepper tincture, rhubarb-tarragon syrup), this comfy slice of Greenwood Ave storefront remains the northern quadrant’s best bet for cocktails. Read more

A nice mix of traditional and unique drinks, all good. Order the truffle popcorn if you want to munch.

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

This neighborhood cocktail lounge has some really great originals and solid classics. Great crew and fun atmosphere for a casual night.

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.

Don't go here! Just kidding. I really like this place and want to keep the place low-key. The cappuccino tomato soup with grilled cheese is really good! Happy Hour is everyday 4 to 7pm.

Great cocktails & all day Sunday happy hour. Small bites/tapas menu but no full entrees.

The grilled chocolate-marshmallow brioche sandwich is to die for. A great piece of indulgence for larger groups (or someone with a huge sweet tooth!)

Try the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club cocktail. It is absolutely fantastic (and not sweet at all)

Delicious small plates, the stuffed dates are DIVINE.

Everyone I know raves about this place and now I know why, will definitely be back.

The sazerac is not that great but the grilled cheese and tomato [soup] cappuccino were great! Awesome ambiance as well.

Go to Oliver's Twist and take a chance on the rotating Cheve/cheese plate (generally served with Walnut bread and fruit). They're all life changing.

the Samuel Pickwick is a good take on Aperol

If you order a vodka martini, you'll make the Baby Jesus (and your bartender) cry.

Visit Oliver's Twist and have the Sykes. Ask the bartender many questions. Receive many informative answers. Also, the popcorn. It's true.

Get the turf club martini made with ransom old Tom. You will not be disapointed.
