On Deck

posted by on July 11 at 16:20 PM

It’s cocktail o’clock! Some recommended places to drink outside from the Bar Exam archives:

The Terrace Garden on the fifth floor of the downtown Red Lion (with weird free taco bar!)

Loretta’s in South Park

The War Room on Capitol Hill

The Pink Door in the Market

Eastlake Bar & Grill (sometimes with bikers)

Six Seven at the Edgewater (may cause seasickness)

Victory Lounge (with a nice view of balls)

Sully’s (née Q) on upper Queen Anne

King’s Hardware in Ballard

The Red Door in Fremont

Ivar’s Salmon House on Lake Union

In memoriam: The Jade Pagoda

Well I don't care. I love these. I love them all:

(Slightly sweet vinaigrette, lots of blue cheese)
Incompetent squirrel hesitantly traverse a long wire in a strong breeze
Babies staggered around like tiny drunks
(Sign in planter: "No Minors Baby, It's The Law!")
(Life?)
Virulently festive drinks called Bamboozles
(Something pink with something orange topped with a generous pour of Bacardi 151)
A half-dozen grown humans stood on their chairs,
"Scotch is for late at night in your apartment when your mother doesn't love you."

Don't forget Agua Verde at the cut (S end of U Dist).

Red Lion is a good visit. I like the view of the ants up and down 4th Ave. The taco bar is weird, 1981-basic and delightful.

Beware, however, the margueritas. They come from the soda gun and cardboard box of concentrate. Extremely not good at all.

They really need to change the name of the Pink Door to the Salmon Door. Or the Crayola Crayon Flesh Door. Either that or repaint the door.

I hate the Red Lion. On my last trip there I went out on the balcony, the completely empty balcony, to smoke Just after I went out and lit up I was told by a server that there was no smoking on the balcony any more. No one but me was out there, who would it bother? Having to go down 5 floors for a 3 minute cigarette makes no sense to me, especially when there is a perfectly empty balcony to smoke on.

i don't believe you can drink outside at the pink door unless you order food... if not skip over to maxiimmilien', zigzag, or marjorie's patio in belltown

Fuck Suzie Burke's Red Door. How come there's no good outdoor drinking on University Ave?
