#693 - Hazelwood, Seattle (Ballard) - 8/31/2008
This bar had the small personality of a bar in the Adams Morgan district of Washington DC (which is the best strip of small personality bars in the country, as far as I've seen). I wasn't quite as knocked out by the drinks or vibe as most of the places I highly recommend, but this is an intimate, unique space, with a cool crowd and some adventurous cocktails, and what more could you ask?
#692 - Ocho, Seattle (Ballard) - 8/31/2008
A very nice, hopping, little place.
Try the Ten Dollar Margarita and the Sangria Rioja.

#690 - Vermillion, Seattle (Capitol Hill) - 8/27/2008

#688 - 22 Doors, Seattle (Capitol Hill) - 7/23/2008?
Update: 22 Doors closed on Jan 1, 2014.
Named for the 22 mahogany doors from the Camlin Hotel that were used to construct the bar and other parts of the room, 22 Doors sold quite good cocktails and offered an almost secret back patio that felt like a surprise every time I went there.
(Name was temporarily changed to just "22" in 2010)
Est. 2005 - Closed Jan 1, 2014

#687 - Wild Rose Tavern, Seattle (Capitol Hill) - 8/17/2008
Try the Pink Panty Dropper.
This is not exactly aimed at my demographic, of course, but it's a nice place and if I was wearing pink panties at the time, I might well have dropped them.
Historical notes: A bar owned by Neil C. Riley is listed here in 1935.
In the 40s it was LaChateau Café, and in the 60s and 70s it was the Chamber Tavern.In the early 80s it was the Sundance Tavern, and opened as the Wild Rose on Jan 1, 1986.

#686 - The Honey Hole, Seattle (Capitol Hill) - 8/17/2008
The Honey Hole has a great vibe, even on a Sunday evening, and the seductive barbeque smells wafting through the bar hut ensure that I'll be back during the day as well.

#684 - Grey Gallery, Seattle (Capitol Hill) - 8/17/2008
The Grey Gallery closed in 2010
Try the Ginger Gimlet. This cucumber based cocktail is second only to the complex and delicious cocktails of The Hideout and 22 Doors, which puts it in fine company indeed.
1512 11th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122 - (206) 325-5209

#683 - Cha Cha(new), Seattle - 8/17/2008
The new underground space is much nicer and it now serves beers that you don't have to pretend to be a starving rock band to like. But what it has added is exactly what is missing from the original -- the utter lack of an intrinsic reason to go there, except for the people you expected to be there. It remains to be seen how a location with its own attractions will carry on. (web site)
