Zig Zag Cafe

Quintessential cocktail bar with a long history of serving inventive cocktails in a beautifully decorated space - think old timey lounge vibe. Bartender had no issue creating something new based on my friend's need to deviate from her norm, just by explaining what she liked. Extensive list of spirits to choose from so everyone should find something they like. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Seattle! With a couple cocktails each and a plate that we shared, bill came to about $90 (before tip).

Great cocktail bar! We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the bartender make all the drinks. He also provided great recommendations when we couldn’t decide what to order. This place has a wonderful atmosphere - even though it’s close to Pike Place it doesn’t feel touristy at all. We would definitely come back!

Zig Zag Cafe is one of my favorite underrated gems in Seattle. It still has that unchanged “Old Seattle” vibe that I love. I’ve been a few times and have consistently been impressed by the amazing service, delicious and unique food, and huge selection of drinks. On my most recent visit, I tried the bone marrow toast and the lemon posset. The bone marrow on brioche was delicious and the lemon posset was light and beautifully presented. Normally I don’t like lemon desserts, but I’m so glad I tried this one. I loved it. All of the staff went above and beyond on a busy summer evening and gave great recommendations for things to try.
