After a lot of searching for 'great cocktails' in Seattle, I've come to realize that this is one of the few and far betwixt places in this city who really know their mixology... and NO, I don't mean the Red Robin variety.

I've been here a number of…More »

    Licorous is quite unassuming from the outside... which is precisely why you M-U-S-T go inside.

Ahh, shoestring frites and Cucumber Dry Soda. Would I be happy with this as my last meal? Maybe.

After a little wine tasting and a few glasses at Vermillion (thanks Dana!), the above combo of starch & soda kept me going. By going, I mean: I kicked out…More »

I had great service, great food, and a great time on their H-U-G-E (yes, massive) outdoor deck here last night.

Happy hour runs from 4-6pm daily and boasts cheap fries, onion rings, po boys, and salads. The Captain's Tea =  delicious. And boozey.

I ordered a glass of Rioja and practically got the bottle. $7 bones, friends.. 7 bones!

Lovely little place. I step on in and it makes me feel like I'm back in 1955.. I think. I really have no idea what cute little bars back in the 50's looked like..…More »

Great Space, a Fab Menu, and a bathroom with serious 'WOW' factor!

Yeah.. Sounds weird (I know), but I'm not kidding..

Best thing to happen to the hill since Vivace.

And let me tell you why Quinn's is WAY better than a pair of Double D's:
