Description

Stepping into Anu Apte's cocktail lounge in Belltown is kind of like walking into a hip version of Mike Brady's den: tasteful mid-century lounge furniture greets you; eclectic, well-framed art lines the walls; there's even an analog hi-fi set in the back (and Tuesdays you can play your records on it - if they were purchased from neighboring record shops). Named after the classic scotch and vermouth concoction, The Rob Roy recalls an era when the cocktails were strong, the furniture was well-made, and the ambiance was decidedly masculine. Yep, it's all about the atmosphere here - complete with Dershang's penchant for taxidermy - and the bar draws in a young and fashionable crowd.

    Just a beautiful bar and beautiful room. I absolutely love being in that space. The drinks are well-crafted too, and the bartenders are gorgeous. Helluva combination, no?
