Seattle’s Hottest New Bars, Fall 2024

"Where can you pre-game your next Mariners game with elevated craft cocktails and Korean-fusion bar food in a historical brick-lined building with laid-back vibes? This new Pioneer Square hotspot of course! True to its name (and owner Sean Yoon’s goal of creating a sports bar with “extraordinary fried chicken”), the bar has an extensive chicken menu alongside its beverages. Try the golden poppers if you’re not sure where to start. Their spicy succulence somehow pairs excellently with just about everything on the cocktail list. And with a not-so-secret speakeasy tucked ‘round the back, Golden Roosters is set to stay popular long after baseball season ends." - Brianna Gunter
