While in Ballard/Seattle, also check out the swanky Sambar, located next to Le Gourmand. It's not tiki, but many drinks are served with sorbet floats as garnish, rose petals, and exotic fruits. Their Pear Sour is incredible and they even have a Vesper on the menu (think James Bond). The bar snacks include frittes, a rabbit pate and an insane twice baked spinach. In West Seattle, the West 5 is a snappy little joint as wide as a couple of bowling lanes. They post three tiki drinks on the menu including a Mai Tai and Dark and Stormy--I believe. Their Mai Tai is slightly sour but has a hint of cherry and almonds and is served in a tiki goblet (with a great logo swizzle stick). Try their Mac & Cheese, meatloaf, strawberry shortcake. The bartender expressed great interest in hosting a Mai Tai event--might be a good place for a Soggy Tiki in Seattle? :)
