Last night we headed to
Suite 410 in Seattle for cocktails. It was my first time there and Ellie’s second. Our occasion was birthday drinks for Todd’s new GF (or whatever the appropriate term is). 410 is a small bar which meets the Washington State liquor licensing requirements by serving for appetizer items. It’s nice to actually go to a bar not a bar/restaurant. Ambience is good with funky bar stools, comfortable lounge seating and hardwood floors. The cocktail menu contains the obligatory specialty cocktails however I was pleasantly surprised with the inclusion of a Pisco Sour and a Caipirihna. Like most good cocktail bars you are better served with ‘sticking to the classics’. Ellie tried a variant on the Cosmo (with pomegranate juice) and then a chocolate martini (unfortunately they didn’t have dark crème de cacao so she had Godiver liquor with Stoli Vanilla). I went for a Plymouth Gin Martini which I found a little too mild and a Pisco Sour (yeah – I know – I usually avoid the specialties but who can say no to pisco). Rating: worth it.
