"Spot the water buffalo statue, and you’ll know you’re in the right place. Kalabaw is the newest hotspot for cocktails and small bites in Belltown, offering a harmonious blend of American, Thai, Filipino, and a well-selected range of other Southeast Asian flavors. There’s a ton of flavor (and Instagram-friendly color) here to choose from, but try the house Old Fashioned if you’re unsure where to begin. Toasted rice syrup adds a unique twist to the classic cocktail and it’s quite frankly divine." - Brianna Gunter
