(Owner Brian Smith adores a themed cocktail list.) If you haven’t seen it, a quick primer + giant spoiler alert: it’s about high school cheerleaders duking it out to go to nationals, and the East Compton Clovers are ultimately the winning team in the film’s grand cheer-competition finale. So fuckit, you’re gonna hear more about Baker’s.Ī note: You might need to watch the classic teen cheerleading movie Bring It On (2000), starring Gabrielle Union and Kirsten Dunst, to fully grok what’s going on in this menu. I actually went out of my way to try to inaugurate this column with a drink from a bar that is not Baker’s or Bar Miriam, since I already wrote about that shit, and I went through FOUR contenders I didn’t like nearly as much as the current cocktail list at Baker’s. The cocktails are all quite literally breathtaking and will make you gasp when they arrive, just from the sheer technical skill evidenced in each. Everything they serve is a glimmering jewel, and you really can’t go wrong with their quarterly menu, whatever’s on it, food or drink. So hey, if I didn’t sing its praises enough when I wrote about its baby-sister bar, Bar Miriam, back in March, lemme do so now: Baker’s is my number-one best spot for cocktails in the city, without rival. The column name is a nod to local bartending legend Murray Stenson, who’s credited with rediscovering the Prohibition-era cocktail of the same name and repopularizing it-first at Seattle's Zig Zag Cafe in 2002, after which it took off across the world. Welcome to The Last Word, my new monthly column about craft cocktails, which I like! I’m here to celebrate my cocktail faves, both alcoholic and non-, to explore their histories and their components, and to lure you to Seattle’s dive bars and cocktail lounges that deserve your attention.
