"This sprawling “concept bar” took over the old Ballard Loft space in late 2024, and it has a little bit of everything. A playful front patio flows into a large back bar area, inviting passersby to wander in and stay for a while. Grab a drink from the full bar and enjoy the wall artwork and energy from the loft, or head over to the pool table for people-watching. All of the drinks and décor are designed to be fun and immersive with global inspiration. And to add entertainment (plus a touch of neighborhood controversy) to the mix, the bar has applied for an adult cabaret license." - Brianna Gunter
