#1740 #S1016 - Naos Lounge, Seattle - 4/1/2012

Naos closed July 3, 2012.

The short-lived Naos was a hippy sort of cafe and juice bar, barely qualifying as a (booze) bar, with an accent on sustainable, local ingredients, southern food, and vegan/vegetarian choices. They had unique spins on many familiar menu items and the food was quite good, as were the limited cocktail choices, esp. featuring fresh juices. It seemed like a perfect fit for Fremont, and I'll miss having it as a brunch option. This blurb from their facebook site does a good job of communicating the vibe of the place.

 "SuP Sea~Town~!!~ There are some things we feel Seattle has been missing... A live Juice/smoothie/wheatgrass bar in Fremont, David Lynch signature espresso..yes 'the' David Lynch! A Place for Ramon Shiloh to create and serve his amazing edibles!, Exclusively serving local beer and wine...as well as WA farm produce and meats...Live music for happy hour from Sea~Town's finest! In house 1200's with vinyl by the hundreds for the community to spin~, an amazing swanky and funky vibe and oh yes.... The 'Sunday Funk Brunch'!!! Watch for us in mid March, in the heart of Fremont at 3420 Fremont AV N."
