Dead Line

"Dead Line is a sleek, dark bar with a bottle collection so extensive that a massive ladder is necessary to get to the top-shelf stuff. Not only is it a fantastic place to go for fancy cocktails, but the South American-leaning menu is also strong. Take advantage of Happy Hour, when you can get a glass of wine alongside a plate of garlic parmesan fries for $20 total." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"The near two-story-high shelves of liquor bottles behind the bartop are what draws the eye when entering, but your attention quickly shifts to the wide range of beautiful cocktails. There are cheeky drinks that include ingredients like “sweet banana Irish cream” all the way up to high-roller “Reserved” cocktails that draw from the annals of history, like the circa-1876 Improved Whisky Cocktail. There’s also a South American-influenced food menu." - Mark DeJoy

"Capacity: 14 seated, 30 standing (Gold Room); 20 seated, 30 standing (Mezzanine); up to 250 (full buyout) For more of a some-people-sitting, some-people-standing scenario with excellent cocktails and snacks, Dead Line in Pioneer Square is an amazing pick. Their Gold Room looks like an antique parlor filled with old furniture, and we can see a classy 30th birthday party happening here." - aimee rizzo

"Maybe you’re getting married, and you take your bridesmaid/man selection very seriously. So seriously, in fact, that your apartment is covered in photos and notes tacked to the walls connected by lines of yarn like a crime investigation. When the time comes to actually ask your friends if they’ll be in your wedding party, do it at Dead Line. It’s a fancy cocktail lounge with awesome drinks and delicious Latin snacks. Spend some time in here for dinner, and then head to the adjoining champagne bar, where you can have some bubbles and chocolate truffles." - aimee rizzo

"When: Daily, 3-6pm The Deal: $6 Rotating Beer, $10 Glasses Of Wine For a special occasion, Dead Line is the best choice in Pioneer Square. They serve high-end cocktails, Southwestern small plates, and the option to drink in a separate champagne room if things are getting really serious." - Aimee Rizzo
