"Between the phenomenal cocktails, friendly bartenders, and palpable big-night-out energy, we’ve never met a bar that we wanted to make “our bar” more than Daphnes in Edmonds. On a Friday evening, the 15-seat space is a cramped sardine tin singalong party. On an otherwise-snoozy Monday, their L-shaped marble counter gets full fast. Come for textbook versions of coupe drinks like aviators and corpse reviver number twos, a frothy off-menu jungle bird, or just a platter of melted brie and baguette. That's their only dish—but it's what you wanted with that French 75 anyway." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
