Triumph Bar

Wow. This place is hands down the best bar I've ever been to. I honestly don't know how the bartender is able to go out anywhere and enjoy it, because his drinks are just THAT superior. I got a Moscow Mule, and like, how much can one Moscow Mule vary from another right? BUT OH MY GOD. This guy makes his own ginger syrup from fresh ginger, and uses freshly squeezed lime juice, and has these amazing freeze-dried lime slice garnishes. It's a true masterpiece. Second favorite is their Springtime Old Fashioned - infused with chamomile and sweetened with honey instead of simple syrup. Absolutely to die for. Their food is really good too! I'm a vegetarian so I haven't eaten a ton of what they offer, but what I have had is positively stellar (you know you want those crispy potatoes). Fantastic location - literally across the street from Seattle Center which houses pretty much all of Seattle's giant cultural events, museums, and performing arts. AND they validate 1 hr of parking. Bam. They do it all!!!

The perfect spot for drinks and food before or after a show around the Seattle Center. I'm always surprised that it isn't more crowded, but I'm not complaining either since it's nice to have a quieter place to talk! Bonus points because they have an older man as the server. It's really nice to see there isn't age discrimination and it adds a neighborhood, homey feel to the place. Not Seattle pretentious. Oh... and did I mention the food and drinks are awesome? The bread pudding is a real treat, they make it to order... don't miss it!

I just had the best grilled zucchini with tzatziki style sauce small dish I have ever had outside my native Bulgaria. The crispy baguette with lemon and herbs infused olive oil dip could have been enough as a meal; it was so fragrant, fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is hip, the location superb, the wine list fantastic and the owner and chef obviously put their hearts and souls into their work. Great service and a delightful experience all around!

Was checking out Lower Queen Anne and this was the first place I stopped at. I was here on Halloween on a Wednesdays at 730pm and it was completely dead. That said, the service, food, and drinks were top notch. Leon served me at the bar and was super friendly. He answered questions about the neighborhood, gave me bar and restaurant recommendations, and opined about the changing landscape of Seattle. The gin and tonic was really good. They make their own tonic and it was perfect. More bitter than sweet. Leon also made a variation of an aviation with violet liquor, rosewater, and a hint of cherry that was delicious. Got castelvetrano olives and a three cheese sampler for munchies. The local Sea Stack cheese was sooooooo good. Homemade yuzu jam and Irish buttered toast points were icing on the cake.

Took 3 teenage girls to see Panic at the Disco at Key Arena on August 10th; my daughter and two good friends. They each had the Triumph Burger and I had the Pork Belly Mac. The girls said their burgers were awesome. My Mac was some of the best I've had. I noticed there weren't any salt and pepper at the tables. After tasting my food I realized neither were needed. Just a wonderful meal.

Stopped in on a whim while waiting for a concert to start. Chris our server was awesome! I asked him to choose what he would eat for a cheese plate. Boy did he deliver! Get a gin and tonic, they make their tonic water from scratch, the olives are served in olive oil, and of course the cheese platter! Place got really busy around six pm, so get there early. We'll be back the next time we're in Seattle.
