"Kate Opatz is no small figure in the Seattle bar scene (Montana Badlands and its sister bars, Montana and La Dive are just a few under her name). But whereas her usual ventures are dark, edgy dens, Laurel is a colorful, airy cocktail bar and coffee joint perched on a sunny corner with big windows. Curated by Niko Ciel (formerly of La Dive), the beverage selection here is refreshing, herbaceous, and largely citrus-based. There’s a nice lineup of espresso martinis too (try the one with hazelnut), along with small bites." - Brianna Gunter
