Description
On a Belltown strip known for nightclubs and parking lot fights, tiny Roquette is an elegant oasis of sleek lines and palm tree murals. Zig Zag alum Erik Hakkinen’s little lounge focuses on rare European spirits, especially French ones—and extra-especially variants on Chartreuse. This place is about the details: the specific glassware, the flawless garnishes, the overall dedication to artistry. Craft cocktails here are inventive and also very strong. Despite the sophisticated vibe, a knowledgeable staff keeps it chatty and light.
