Another new cocktail bar in Seattle. Seems like a really ballsy time to open a bar/restaurant. This one sounds really good though. Same owners as Spur, so I'm excited.

I want to go to there ...

Quoted from Daily Candy: To-go falafels, frites, and boulangerie-style sandwiches are offered from a side window by the outdoor patio, while in the back room bar, reproductions of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes’s paintings hang alongside a large crystal chandelier attached to a church buttress.

Ample patio seating!

Quoted: Welcome to Captain Blacks bar and restaurant located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle, WA. Drink. Eat. Pillage.

New speakeasy on Cap Hill ... cocktails are reportedly good.

Quoted: Last reviewed Mar 18, 2009. Absolutely fabulous... provided you can find it! I'm not kidding. You would never know that this lovely speakeasy-esque bar exists, unless you know the address.

The cocktails sound good here ... and a nice long happy hour. It's so hard to find one that goes to 7.

Well, good news! Vessel is not closing.

Quoted: Niemeyer has plans in place to make Vessel thrive. He has applied to add outdoor seating, will expand the offerings of champagne by the glass, and promote the space as a stylish, sophisticated locale for private parties and meetings. “Vessel is better than ever. These changes are nothing but positive.”

Sad news. Vessel was a great cocktail bar. It will be missed if it goes under.

Quoted: Bartender Jamie Boudreau has parted ways with posh downtown bar Vessel, which may now be closed—the phone’s been disconnected.
