Black Bottle Gastrotavern

Belltown has plenty of spots that would work for a first date, but Black Bottle has some top-tier atmospheric magic happening. It’s noisy enough not to be awkward, but not so loud that you’ll miss any red flags that might come up in the course of your conversation, like that passing mention of your date’s creepy antique doll collection. The cocktails are strong, and the menu is full of solid little snacks if you’re hungry.
