City's Best

405 Olive Way
Seattle, WA 98101

Few places marinate their olives in vermouth these days. Fewer still achieve lounge elegance without pretensions. While the Emerald City holds a wealth of cocktail suitors, this veteran stands out as a sparkling gem of the martini scene. Dressed in gold-leaf mirrors, extravagant chandeliers and paned windows that dwarf guests in wicker chairs, Oliver's is known for three things: big-city style, a professional yet extremely approachable staff and arguably the region's best martini -- perennial winner of Seattle's International Martini Classic Challenge.

Traditional pours along with more contemporary blends (try the Cachacha Climax or Mother of Pearl) have made Oliver's a downtown landmark. Locals stop by after work, and tourists make it a point to return each time they visit the city; even NBC's Frasier Crane name-drops it as an evening destination. One drink and you'll see why regulars quietly keep this place their own. Just make sure to close the tab when the third glass hits your table.
