Erik Hakkinen's French-inspired cocktail bar at 2232 1st Avenue draws directly on his years working at the legendary Zig Zag Café and his formative time in Paris, producing a program anchored by Cognac, Calvados, Chartreuse, and Bénédictine in builds that feel both classic and distinctly Pacific Northwestern. The room is intimate and warmly lit, with a bar counter where you can watch Hakkinen and his team work with the measured precision of bartenders who believe every ounce matters. Seattle's most technically refined cocktail bar.
