Bistro for book lovers offering cocktails and light snacks
"Specifically designed for people who want to sit at a bar and read (with occasional “quiet hours”), this Ballard hangout pours wine and literary cocktails like "Alas Poor Yorick" and offers tinned fish and flatbread." - Harry Cheadle
"Billing itself as a bistro for book lovers, there’s very little in the way of distraction here. No TVs, no loud groups, just folks curled up with a novel from home or one borrowed from the bar’s shelf. On the menu are cocktails, low-ABV options, and plenty of non-alcoholic choices, alongside a few light snacks." - Kayla Sager-Riley
"If you're a habitual bar-reader, there's a spot opening this winter on Market Street in Ballard called the Ink Drinker, replacing the recently closed Ballard Beer Company; the owner describes it as “a bar where you can come, kick back with your latest read, and enjoy a craft cocktail (or mocktail) with minimal distractions (i.e. no TVs, no blaring music, no clangy pool tables), while surrounded by fellow book lovers,” promising an experience not unlike getting slightly tipsy in a library." - Harry Cheadle
