"Keep the nautical theme going at Navy Strength, No Anchor’s sister tiki bar, which has a variety of tropical cocktails falling into categories like “travel,” “tropical,” “tiki,” “daiquiri,” and “tiki bowl.” Much like No Anchor, the colorful space works equally well for dates and being gently friend-zoned." - aimee rizzo
"This spot transforms into Xmas tiki bar Sippin’ Santa for the season. New options on offer this year include Frosty the Merman (rye and vanilla-clove syrup), a Sugar Plum Mai Tai (Haitian and Nicaraguan rums, orgeat and cinnamon syrup, and plum mix), and A Snowball’s Chance in Hilo, which is designed for two to drink (Caribbean rums, pineapple, orange, nutmeg and cinnamon syrups)." - Courtney E. Smith
"With its dancing lights and thatched umbrella-covered booths, Belltown's longtime tiki bar looks like the set of a goofy 60s beach movie—but it takes its frozen drinks seriously. Papaya puree nicely complements a blend of potent rums in the Saint Martin, while the Saturn’s gin and passionfruit combo is the ideal summer Happy Hour sipper. Add a plate of spam nachos, and pretend that you're on an island partaking in sandy hijinks. " - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"For a Christmas-in-July moment that isn’t in July at all, you could check out Navy Strength’s “Sippin’ Santa’s Surf Shack” pop-up. There, you’ll find tropical-themed drinks like a rum hot toddy with spiced honey butter and passionfruit, a bourbon-spiked riff on a jungle bird, and a “Secret Santa”—otherwise known as a mystery drink to ask the bartender about." - Aimee Rizzo, Kayla Sager Riley
