Hi Spot Café to Add a Cocktail Menu

Hooray, a favorite brunch spot is about to get boozier.

Little known fact (LKF): At the Hi Spot in Madrona, the brunch destination with which everyone who knows anything is totally in love, you can call ahead and put your name on the waiting list. Thusly your name moves up the list while you’re not even there.

So there you have that: no more waiting for an hour and a half in a packed space while little kids in striped stockings cry a lot. At least not for very long.

That LKF comes from owner Mike Walker, who also informed me that the Hi Spot plans to start serving brunch cocktails as soon as its Class H liquor license comes through, which should be in about a month. Walker says he makes a killer bloody mary, and he’ll also offer vodka drinks with fresh-squeezed juices.

In a final bit of good news, Walker says he’s looking into buying an awning to cover the outdoor patio so that the heated outdoor area can be used three seasons out of the year. This adds 40 more seats, meaning even less time in the waiting line for you.

Holiday Drinking Events

Boozing with the Easter Brunch Bunch

It’s a holiday designed for day drinking. Plan accordingly.

Tango on Capitol Hill has a special this Sunday, April 4 (or as Christians like to call it, Easter): a $5 tequila flight that includes Herradura Silver, Chamucos Reposado, and Cazadores Anejo. Nice.

Before you do that, though, you might want to go to brunch or something. Which is not to say you should delay getting your Easter buzz on. Head to Smith, for instance, for a pitcher of mimosas with your eggs Benedict (please note I did not say “eggs Benny,” and never will), or to Lola for its bloody mary with jalapeno-infused vodka, or a prosecco served with a scoop of—hello, delicious—sorbet.

That drink reminds me of Spring Hill and its grapefruit cooler: sparkling wine, fresh-squeezed grapefruit, and lillet.

If you come to find these places are booked come Sunday, check this master list of Easter brunches from Nosh Pit. And have a happy and buzzy bunny Sunday.
