Featuring Chef Armando De La Luz

Brannigan Low1 This is one of those great hole in the wall dives that I love to find. It may look a little rough but it has some damn good food and the barkeep knows how to pour a drink! Definitely going to come back if I ever need to eat before an event.

Jason Babcock Only enjoyed this cool locals hangout where you can meet up with friends or come by yourself and make a few new friends.
It's kinda fun to sit out on the sidewalk setup, kinda like a retro street Bistro in Chicago. BTW the outside mood is very laid back with it's own set of rules, including smoking as long as it's on the up and up legal.
I've tried samples of some of the food and it's always been consistent and hit the spot. Give it a try and enjoy for yourself.

Tina Ryan Had a great meal and fantastic service before a Sunday show at the Moore. My friend and I shared the chicken quesadilla and the mini grilled cheese (yes! Mini grilled cheese!!) It was so good!! Our drinks were also made expertly.  A large crowd came in (wedding party or something) and the bartender got a little swamped but she got right back on top of things quickly.   There is a back room that was not open for seating but appears to have some water view.  Vibe was cool and relaxing.  We'll be back!

Jan Patrick Myschke  Cold beers. Nice people. Good talks. The female bartender is your menu. You’ll love her.

Jordan Zwenger This place is absolutely fantastic. Came in to town for a work trip and kept finding myself back here.  Dani was very pleasant and went out of her way to accommodate us in many ways. Highly recommend! Will be back whenever in Seattle.

Nathan Nurse  Never been disappointed here, Lucas took good care of me when I needed a solid chicken sandwich & tots. Always an easy pick when deciding on a quick bite downtown.

Matt Wilbourn This place is an absolute delight and downtown Seattle is lucky to have such a place as this for not only locals to enjoy but people like me as well. Never in all my travels have I found such a cozy place that made me feel like one of their own. Daytime Dani and Afterhours Andrea are the coolest, most attentive barkeeps in Washington and then there's the food. Armando the chef will turn himself into a pretzel to make sure you have the best meal you've ever had in a neighborhood bar. I was also lucky enough to meet Melton (an off duty employee) and struck up life-changing conversation with him. Lucas and Val are onto something special here. This will be my forever "go to" spot when I'm in Seattle. Make it yours too.

Michel  Sonya's Seattle bar is a gem of a place! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, the drinks are expertly crafted, and the service is top-notch. I recommend checking it out!

nonosapiens  A nice discovery…I was wandering in the city looking for a place to seat down and enjoy a drink or two and the little terrace outside attracted me because of the people seating there. They look cool and friendly. So I entered. The bar has a cosy and warm atmosphere with confortable sofas. At first glance I thought that the staff looks stressed and not smiling but it was because I needed to exchange more than an order with them and then they became very friendly. I met some very interesting and fun people there. The drinks can be sophisticate if you wish . They have a great selection of brands and the prices are reasonable. Definitely a good place in Seattle. I’ll go again.

Ado Moshe  Great spot off the beaten path. Come to the back bar from 7-9 Thurs-Sat for happy hour and stay for the incredible views. Forget rooftop bars this is the spot to be.

Cheryle Trupp Great experience.  Stopped in for a drink in the midday.  People were very nice… drinks were inexpensive… and the atmosphere was nice.  A chill spot in the midst of the Seattle craziness.  Loved it!  If I lived here… this would be my neighborhood go to.

Leila Del Valle-Stewart  Great local place! Bartenders are always friendly and prompt. Super close to the market if you're visiting and want to stop somewhere off the most stomped path.

Nathan C Tom is a fantastic bartender. The bar has a great selection, from classics to some lesser-knowns. Perhaps there could be more rum offerings, but in general it's a great spot and I'll keep returning. The atmosphere is quite laid back, I enjoy the warm wood decor and the kind clientele.

Whit  Fantastic place! Great service, great drinks, and great food.

Seth Wheeler Wanted a cheap beer around lunchtime and wanted something divey. This was the place to go! Glad people are scared away by a bartender with a slight attitude because that means more space for me to joke around with them (really, grow a backbone people). Was quiet, cheap, and quick. Can't say how it gets at night
