#679 - The Great Nabob, Seattle (lower Queen Anne) - 8/13/2008

Update: The Nabob closed in July 2018.

I finally made it to this bar. I like the crowd and if I go at a busier time I might make it one of my recommendations. And I'm a sucker for bars with fezzes in their logos. But it's a pity that the decor of the bar itself doesn't contain a bit more of the character of the logo. Along with a good selection of local beers they feature an odd selection of small bites including poutine, hummus, yam fries and mini burgers.

#678 - Veil, Seattle (lower Queen Anne) - 8/13/2008

Swanky and spare. I went when it was still light out, which was an error (unless you're headed from there to the opera like the gals next to us were). Try the lamb sliders.

#673 - Oliver's Twist, Seattle (Greenwood) - 7/5/2008

Try: The Mr. Sowerberry

Along with The Hideout, this is my favorite bar discovery of the year. Adventurous cocktails, fine food, art, and a vibe and clientele perfectly between hip and comfortable.
