"There's a good chance you’ll be doing some exploring Downtown, and after a long day of navigating e-bikes through one-way streets, you might want an adult beverage or two at Phởcific Standard Time. Located inside Phở Bắc in Denny Triangle, the second-story speakeasy is close enough to the touristy action where you won’t have to call an Uber, but removed enough that you won’t see any Piroshky Piroshky bags or selfie sticks. They have a cheesy caramelized crab and prawn dip to snack on as you drink one of their Vietnamese-inspired cocktails, like an iced coffee martini topped with pandan dust. And if there’s a line, hop inside Le Caviste, which is an excellent wine bar next door." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
