Seattle’s Hottest New Bars, Winter 2025
"After a relatively brief stint as La Dive’s second location, this lower Queen Anne public house has evolved into a new iteration of Capitol Hill’s popular Montana — with some cool new twists. Badlands brings its predecessor’s fan favorites (picklebacks and cocktails on tap!) to the neighborhood, along with its own custom neon lights and decor. Most notably, the revamped spot features a Middle Eastern food menu from Hayati Mezze and Sweets. Something about late-night herb-seasoned Lebanese fried potatoes alongside a blackberry smash just feels right." - Brianna Gunter
