"It’s time for a vacation. But you just spent all your money on almond butter at Whole Foods, so a tropical getaway is probably not in your near future. Make moves to Rumba, which is the next best thing—perfect for getting slightly tipsy with your friends over tropical small plates. Grab a booth amidst the bookcases full of island tchotchkes, order some classic daiquiris along with a round of empanadas. photo credit: Megan Rainwater RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Aimee Rizzo
"A rum-focused bar from the same hospitality group recently earned recognition from Tales of the Cocktail (TotC): it received a nomination in TotC’s Spirited Awards for "Worlds Best Spirits Selection" and is one of only two bars on the West Coast to be nominated." - Harry Cheadle
"With one of the most extensive rum libraries on the West Coast, Rumba is an unskippable stop on the Capitol Hill bar trail. It’s basically a rum museum, with a collection comprising more than 700 different kinds of rum from around the world — a bar straight out of Hemingway’s daydreams. The menu of Caribbean-spiced tacos and sliders accompany an elaborate spread of punches, swizzles, daiquiris, and Tiki classics. If that’s not enough for you, there’s another bar within the bar. Duck through the side hatch into Inside Passage to hide out in an under-the-sea secret lounge with a giant octopus chandelier and even more elaborate drinks." - Meg van Huygen
"Capacity: Semi-Private Mezzanine 20-40, Entire Bar 60 (85 standing) This tropical-themed bar on the border between Capitol Hill and Downtown is ideal for an organized Happy Hour or a drinks-and-snacks situation. You can book the upper level if you have 40 people or less, or rent out the entire bar for 60 people." - aimee rizzo
"Your parents had to choose between a tropical family vacation and coming to visit you in Seattle, the rain capital of the world. Buy them a drink (and some tropical small plates) at Rumba to make up for it. Grab a booth and order some tiki rum punches along with a round of empanadas and fish tacos. Cheers." - aimee rizzo
