Zig Zag Café, Seattle

There can be no doubt, Seattle is a city that takes food and drink very seriously. The city that has become synonymous with the world’s highest quality coffee also knows a thing or two about getting a good drink. The Zig Zag Café is proof that this is a city that takes cocktail hour as seriously as the rest of the day. All one has to do is grab one of the many barstools, belly up to the bar and order the most obscure cocktail you can think of. The wood bar stools get a bit hard to find during happy hour, but if you can get in the door, you’ll love The Zig Zag Café.

There are several things that make the Zig Zag Café a special place to drink and to laugh. First, the bartenders here know their stuff, and they make sure they leave their attitude at the door. This is a neighborhood pub, first and foremost, which is a good thing since Seattle has more than its fair share of fashionable bars. You can ask away about what is in that rare bottle or that from your perch on metal bar stools. Be prepared to get drunk and to learn about everything you need to know about booze.

If you are new to Seattle and you want to visit the Zig Zag, simply ask the concierge at your hotel. This is a very well known establishment and people travel from all over the state to come here. From comfortable pub sets to rare liquors, this place is certainly a winner.
