Seattle | A Hidden Gem Bar Inside a Pho Shop 🍸
I've passed by Pho Bac 🍜, that classic Vietnamese pho spot, so many times—but I never knew there was a magical little bar on the second floor! ✨ The experience totally blew my expectations away! 🤯 The bar has a semi-underground, treehouse-inspired vibe 🌳🏠, with strong design touches everywhere. You'll find Southeast Asian plants 🌿, Vietnamese elements, and even palm-leaf ceiling fans 🍃. The lighting is soft and perfect for photos 📸. The whole place is full of atmosphere, making it ideal for relaxing with friends over drinks 🥂👫. Everything we ordered was delicious: 😋👌 🌸 Nuoc Mat|Cooling Water A blend of Cocchi Americano · soju · longan · citrus juice · jasmine · Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic. Served with a frozen longan skewer—so Insta-worthy! 🤩 Refreshing and slightly sweet, a perfect Round 1 drink. You can’t go wrong with this one. 💯 ☕️ Phin-tini | Vietnamese Coffee Martini Made with Reyka vodka · Mr. Black coffee liqueur · Vietnamese coffee · condensed milk · pandan powder. Rich, sweet, and aromatic with a lovely vanilla note. So good! ☕️🍸🤎 🥜 Đá Me|Tamarind Ice Tequila · tamarind · peanut · crushed peanut brittle. Another looker! 🤩 Sweet and sour with a nutty aroma—inspired by Southeast Asian street snacks. The flavor might seem unusual at first, but the finish is surprisingly smooth. 🌶️🥜✨ 🍯 Quỳnh Bee|Queen Bee Sông Cái gin · jasmine honey · lemon · cinnamon. Light, mildly sweet, with a delicate spice and citrus balance. Super approachable and newbie-friendly. 🐝🍋💛 ✨ Đom Đóm|Firefly Singani 63 brandy · lime · Vietnamese cilantro (rau răm) · Luzhou Lao Jiao baijiu · cucumber bitters · black lava salt. A bold and complex cocktail with intense layers. It starts with sharp lime acidity, followed by fruity notes from the Singani and baijiu, finishing with subtle smoke and herbal bitterness. Might be an acquired taste for some! 🔥🥒🌿 They also feature other creative ingredients in their cocktails—like salted egg yolk 🍳, shiso 🌿, tofu 🧈, and more! Their pho looks seriously tasty too... 👀🍜 The bar is pretty cozy, so it can get busy. Better make a reservation in advance! 💡📅 #Seattle #SeattleLife #UWLife #SeattleFood #SeattleBar #SeattleExplored #SeattleEats #SeattleWeekend #WhatToEatInSeattle
