Black Bottle

Black Bottle boasts a "full bar and hard-working wines," complemented by "unfussy, rustic food to be shared." Upscale, contemporary digs and an interesting variety of wines, beers and cocktails give this bar (in Belltown) an instant appeal. The adults-only wine bar has a wonderful menu (from 4 p.m. until midnight), offering choices from grilled lamb and sumac hummus, to roasted tomato and spinach flatbread, ceviche, bacon-wrapped scallops, pork belly and kimchi plus Southern dishes like crispy fried chicken and collard greem. Shared plates are encouraged! Take out is available, and this venue opens its patio, when the weather is warm enough.
