Bar Harbor

"Bar Harbor specializes in seafood rolls, from Maine lobster ones to local Dungeness crab. You have a couple of dressing options, but stick with the mayo and celery versions. If it’s cold out, get a side of clam chowder with whatever you order. And if it’s summer (or that weirdly random 60-degree day in January), eat your lobster rolls outside on the patio with a refreshing negroni slushie." - Aimee Rizzo

"There are few things that signal the height of summer like boozy slushies paired with lobster rolls and clam dip. This seafood and drinks oasis in South Lake Union has some seating on its patio, churning out frozen cocktails with rotating flavors, most recently a New York Sour, which is whiskey with a float of red wine." - Megan Hill, Gabe Guarente

"South Lake Union’s East Coast-inclined restaurant serves up different styles of both lobster rolls: with mayo (Maine), butter (Connecticut), and the slightly more elaborate New England version, with fixins such as celery and chive. Its owner is from the Northeast originally, so the restaurant is precise with such regional distinctions." - Gabe Guarente
