Best Martinis in Belltown, probably Seattle in general

by angelannieb

This bar was AMAZING! My best friend and I were searching for a martini bar that would actually make specialized martinis and were directed somewhere else in the beginning and were about to give up hope when we happened upon this bar a block from our rented condo. The food was excellent (I mean where else can you get a huge bowl of fries that are superb with house made tartar sauce that is to die for), I even swapped some Korean recipes with the owner of the bar, Dave who was a stand-up guy who was more than personable, he remembered us throughout the trip whenever we went there and if he saw us around town would actually stop and talk with us and remember who we were.

The waitstaff was so friendly and entertaining. They never treat anyone as if it's a job to serve them drinks or food, they treat you as if you're family here which is a big thing in this day and age when people are spending good money on drinks and food. I really liked the fact that this bar only uses name brand alcohol for their shelf liquor, you won't get a bad drink here because all the alcohol is good, name brand, recognizable liquor. Not to mention the bartenders are magicians when it comes to mixing drinks.

I really loved this bar, and if I ever get back to Seattle, I know where I'm headed for my first martinis. There was no guess work here, if they don't know how to make something they don't bumble around and try to give you something they think is what you want. They'll make sure you get what you want and after some of the service that was less than stellar in Seattle, we were so happy to find this martini bar.

So if you want a place where you can get amazing martinis, entertainment by the staff, food that is huge in proportion to the price that tastes great and won't leave you feeling like you spent a ton of money, this is the bar to go to. They make you family the first time you come, but it's the kind of family you're happy to see. And where else can you get food, alcohol and dancing to great music all in the same place?

• Pros: Best martinis, waitstaff, owner, everything!
• Cons: Parking

Hip little place

by happagalinthecity

I love coming to this place. The staff are friendly and service is great. I think that is cool that they have a live DJ once a week. It may look dark ang dank but it a great place to get a cocktail and fries.

• Pros: friendly staff
• Cons: Street parking
