With a chic, upscale café setting and open kitchen, Sitka and Spruce doesn’t have your typical wine bar vibe. It also doesn’t have your average wine bar menu. Instead, the menu offers delicious brunch, lunch, and dinner selections, including some of the best scones and coffee in Seattle! Menu items change frequently, but all are delicious, fresh, and often locally sourced. The wine list features selections from Washington, Oregon, France, Italy, Portugal, and other wine regions from around the world.

RN74 is a bit more European than most other wine bars in Seattle. The wine list by the glass has selections from the Northwest and other world wine regions, but with a slight emphasis on French wines. Similarly, the menu has intriguing flavors with many influences, with a slant towards French cuisine. A fun twist is a train station-style reader board on the wall that lists available wines.

Happy hour: yes. Monday – 3 pm to close / Tuesday-Thursday 3-7 pm / Friday 3-6 pm / Saturday 4-6 pm

Phoenecia is a wine bar and restaurant with a view, a rarity among Seattle wine bars. Watch the Olympics and watch the sun set on clear days from the spot right on Alki Beach. The menu includes many small bites, but also main dishes and a tasty pizza menu. A special bonus is that the menu has a lot of vegetarian items and some vegan items as well.

Happy Hour: No.
Location: 2716 Alki Avenue SW
