The Room
Sun Liquor opened on East Pine in 2009 — Seattle's only working cocktail-bar with an in-house craft-distillery. The format is unique: house-distilled gin and rum, served in cocktails made by the same team.
Eater Seattle has held Sun Liquor on its top-cocktail-bar rankings every year of operation.
The Food
The cocktail programme runs the in-house gin-and-rum range alongside classic-American cocktails.
The small-plates kitchen runs gastropub-classic. Service is informed and warm.
