Seattle welcomes a new nightlife hot spot–Pennyroyal, the mellow and welcoming lounge-bar inside Seattle's brand-new Palladian Hotel. On the cusp between downtown and Belltown, this cozy venue with warm hues and accommodating staff seems the perfect spot for grabbing a drink, perhaps before or after dinner in the adjoining restaurant Shaker + Spear. Taking its inspiration from old-world European bars and boasting a convivial "social salon" air, Pennyroyal serves as a gathering space for hotel guests and those just visiting for a drink or meal. Dark woods, exposed brick and vintage glassware bring character to the 35-seat establishment. Pennyroal keeps its focus on aged spirits, a rotating punch menu, local wine and beer plus bar bites that shift with Seattle's seasons, mirroring food that chefs currently find fresh and inspiring. Cocktails are crafted using seasonal and house-made ingredients, including liquor infusions, vermouth, grenadine, tonic and bitters and more.
