Cheery natural wine specialist with frozen drinks & inventive snacks plus a psychedelic mural.
"La Dive is the only place in Seattle (or probably in any city) where you can down a champagne bong (chambong) full of French brut or sip on a glass of local pet-nat while snacking on a lavash quesadilla with spicy carrot relish or gnocchi with pancetta and sage brown butter. Just like the neighborhood around it, this bar is eclectic, hedonistic, and refined all at the same time." - Sophie Grossman
"La Dive is a wine bar that feels right at home in the Capitol Hill nightlife universe—it’s a place where chugging Champagne as fast as you possibly can is encouraged. You can do that by ordering a Chambong, which you can either shoot with bubbles or Miller High Life. This place specializes in natural wine, and you’ll see a bunch of different stuff on their list, like orange wines, Spanish red from a bag, and frozen Beaujolais slushies spiked with Campari." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"La Dive’s location used to be a sandwich shop, but now it really feels more like…a club. This natural wine bar serves frozen Campari-spiked Beaujoulais slushies, fun bubbles, MSG-seasoned martinis, and fancy flavored soda if you’re in the market for something non-alcoholic. Despite the fact that Chambongs are on the menu, La Dive is a very relaxing space to hop over to a table with a few friends and catch up. While, you know, also casually gulping glass bongs full of grapey carbonation." - aimee rizzo
"We were initially sad when the Capitol Hill location of Other Coast Cafe, one of our favorite sandwich spots, closed. But then La Dive took its place, serving frozen Sancerre slushies and glass bongs full of bubbles, and now we don’t miss the sub shop too much anymore. This place specializes in natural wine and extra-cold cocktails, and you'll also find mezze from Mamnoon in the kitchen. It’s the perfect place for a night out on Capitol Hill to drink MSG-seasoned martinis, split a bottle of good juice, and catch up with friends." - Aimee Rizzo
"La Dive is known for its late-night menu featuring tinned fish and breakfast cereal. The bar has a relaxed atmosphere and offers generous pours of wine." - Sophie Grossman
