Lariat bar

"For cocktail nerds who don’t take themselves too seriously, how about chugging some crafties in a WWE-themed dive? Decked out with floor-to-ceiling wrestling art and memorabilia, White Center’s Lariat Bar is so dedicated to the bit it even has a miniature wrestling ring that doubles as a stage on karaoke nights. Cocktail menu mainstays include the Shayna Basil-er (a tribute to legendary wrestler Shayna Baszler) with Grey Goose, Giffard Peach, watermelon, basil, grapefruit, and bubbles, or the Hillbilly Gin, with Hendrick’s, Giffard Framboise, cardamom bitters, and lemon. Don’t miss their list of nonalcoholic drinks either, labeled “Kayfabe” — our favorite culinary wrestling analogy in a while, possibly ever." - Mark DeJoy

"Participating in Damp & Dry July with special nonalcoholic drink menus." - Mark Van Streefkerk

"Ready to rumble? Several nightlife industry veterans are planning to open a wrestling-themed drinks destination called Lariat Bar in White Center later this spring, featuring vintage posters, a marquee, and a life-sized Andre the Giant decal. There will also be a small ring that will double as a stage for live music performances and commentary for pay-per-view bouts (diners can reserve it when it’s not in use). A bar with “Smackdown”-like stage lighting is planned to be at the center of the action in the 2,200 square foot space, serving up Future Primitive beer, a cocktail menu heavy on mezcal, and plenty of non-alcoholic options. Though there won’t be a full kitchen, Lariat Bar will have concession-type food, such as nachos, hot dogs, pretzels, and chili. For those who are more into non-contact sports, there will be skeeball, darts, and pinball machines as well." - Gabe Guarente
