Cocktails crafted from housemade syrups and obscure liquors are popular in Seattle nightlife, but so are local beers crammed with the hops grown in-state and red wines from just across the mountains. And even when it comes to the best bars in Seattle, few establishments have a dress code that demands anything fancier than unripped jeans. With a speakeasy culture that’s brought bars like The Knee High Stocking Company and Bathtub Gin & Company to the forefront (not literally, of course, they’re still hidden away), and wild themes like the funeral home-turned-bar The Pine Box and Southern church-revival-themed bar Witness, complete with “sermons”, it’s clear that the proprietors of these watering holes are just as innovative as their mixologists.
