New Orleans
Ruby
Ruby is a tiny but mighty cocktail bar in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood that delivers some of the most elaborate and creative drinks in the city. Located in a small U-shaped bar setting, Ruby gets packed but feels intimate. The bartenders are professionals who specialize in custom cocktails on the fly, asking what spirits and flavors you love, then building something tailored to your taste. The bar has a notable emphasis on rum and mezcal. A wall of dog pictures that owner Mike Jochum has been steadily adding to lines the space. Signature cocktails are priced at $13 and feature selections like jungle birds with Plantation Pineapple and the choose-your-own-negroni adventure.
