"While everyone at Phở Bắc’s newest Downtown location is slurping phở under stark fluorescent lighting, there’s a speakeasy upstairs where you should head post-soup. We love every last one of their drinks, from the Dua Dừa featuring rum, absinthe, coconut milk, lime, and basil seed to our current favorite cocktail in Seattle: the Cà Phê Tini, an iced Vietnamese coffee-inspired martini. Though the cocktails are great, it would be a shame to come here and not also grab bar snacks like spicy tapioca dumplings, bánh mì, or cheesy caramelized crab and prawn dip complete with oiled toasts and sesame saltines for dunking." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
