"Bad Bishop fits right into its location on the border of downtown and Pioneer Square with its antique red brick interior, understated stylishness, and smart twists on timeless cocktails. For instance, the Blind Swine (developed when owners Jesse Spring and Keaton Cooper were at the also-excellent Jarr Bar) is an upgrade on a dirty martini, with vodka, piparras pepper brine and a chorizo-wrapped piparras pepper. But for something outside of the canon, try the Beets by K, an enticingly herbal, earthy concoction featuring gin, roasted beet and blood orange simple syrup, lemon, and celery bitters. The bar also sells its own cocktail book for those who want to try making their creations at home." - Mark DeJoy
