Cocktail Underground

We checked out the Seattle and were pleasantly surprised that they have a little bar at the top. We didn't even notice until we were practically on the way out. It kept us up there for another hour. We were already mesmerized by the rotating glass floor before we had drinks.

All the cocktails were very well made. Other than at my own house, I've only seen completely clear ice spheres a handful of times.

For my first cocktail, I had the Blood Moon Mezcal, and it was excellent.

For my second cocktail, I tried the Summertime Old Fashioned, made with Seagrass. It was my first time trying this whiskey and it was perfect with apricot syrup, lemon bitters and orange bitters.

Jimi had two old fashioneds - one with rye, and one with Woodinville bourbon, a local product from Washington State. I sampled both and they tasted great.

A cosmo is a safe drink to order almost anywhere, including a cruise ship casino! I love them even though they aren't really a cocktail nerd's drink. This was tart and ice cold with a light to medium pink color, just the way I like.

I've managed to play a few hours of blackjack and video poker, and am only down about $20, which is a great deal for hours of entertainment.

I also like that they have $10 blackjack that pays 3/2 (sadly getting rarer and rarer these days)

Unfortunately, the video poker pay tables suck. If they were good, I'd be ahead. However, I'm afraid there's no other choice if you aren't a hell of a swimmer.
