#1928 - Downtown Cocktail Room, Las Vegas - 10/10/2012
The Downtown Cocktail Room is a swanky, mellow alternative to the Fremont Street Experience right around the corner. One of the most highly regarded craft cocktail stops in the city, you can barely spot it from outside, particularly by Vegas standards. The sign is small and the door is virtually impossible to identify.
For cocktail lovers and swank lounge lovers, DCR is definitely one of the top stops in the city.

#1909 #S1078 - Flying Fish, Seattle - OOO
Continuing entries for bars previously visited but which I somehow did not get on this list at the time.
In 2010, James Beard award winning chef Chris Keff moved her 15-yo Belltown restaurant Flying Fish into the Terry/Mercer building in the burgeoning Allentown area around South Lake Union. The new space is bigger and brighter, the cocktails are reliable and the food is very good. Service is rather hit and miss.

#1908 #S1077 - Salty's, Seattle - OOO
Continuing to add some bars that somehow did not make it onto the list previously.
Salty's on Alki is known for good seafood, an epic Sunday brunch buffet, and perhaps the best restaurant view in Seattle. (Founded by Gerry Kingen, who also owned the original Red Robin, and various other Seattle bars including the Blue Moon Tavern, the Warehouse, and places with names like " Lion O’Reilly’s and B.J. Monkeyshines" and "Boondock’s Sundeckers and Greenthumbs.")

#1907 #S1076 - Lola, Seattle - OOO
Lola is chef Tom Douglas's Mediterranean venue. The cocktails are fairly good and the food is excellent, as always for a Douglas place. I haven't yet had them myself, but many people recommend the donuts.
Historical note: Somewhere at this address, I believe in the current Lola space, was Norm Brobow's "The Colony," known as one of Seattle's swankiest jazz joints in the 1950s.

#1906 #S1075 - La Carta De Oaxaca, Seattle - OOO
This is to add the little bar in Oaxaca -- the original one, in Ballard -- which I somehow missed getting on the list before.
Oaxaca is perhaps the best Mexican food in the city and at most times you are bound to face a line before you get a seat at one of the communal tables. If you're lucky, there will be room in the tiny bar to catch a margarita while you wait. It is not a bar you would go to just to go to bar, but they do have pretty good margaritas while you are waiting for the excellent food. The food is served in small, tapas form, so you will want to select about three items, and make sure that you include the mole. (For the same great food with a bit more emphasis on the bar, see its sister restaurant on upper Queen Anne.)
Historical notes: Oaxaca is in a building that is at least 112 years old and has hosted bars since at least shortly after prohibition. A bar owned by Joseph Brown is listed here in 1935. By the 40s, it was Chet's Log Cabin and by the late 40s and into the 60s the Alaska Log Cabin. In the late 60s and early 70s it was Fisherman's Inn, and by the late 70s and into the 80s it was Bebop, then the Barge Inn by 1985.

#1905 #S1074 - Cal's Classic American, Seattle - 10/4/2012
Cal's Classic American Kitchen is a bit like an updated Applebees. That's not all bad -- the vintage clutter here is rugged, mid-century industrial and modern additions include a pour-your-own table tap where customers pay per ounce. It serves basically traditional American comfort food with a slight spin, plus a few good beers and whiskeys and a fairly straight-forward cocktail menu (but with lots of egg white).
