Guillotine

Seattle’s Hottest New Bars, Summer 2024

"It’s tempting to go with vino at a place that looks and feels a bit like a wine cellar, but make no mistake, Guillotine is a temple for mixology. In just a short period of time, veteran bartenders Colin Smith and Andrew Larson have created a sleek list of seasonal house specialties and clever takes on classics — try the gin gimlet with yuzu kosho and snap pea for a refreshing summer sipper. They don’t take reservations, so you might want to stop by soon before this place heats up even further among Seattle cocktail enthusiasts." - Brianna Gunter
