the homiest of happy hours.


ladies, i suggest you make sure that sundays between 5-7 remain open on your calendars. that way, you can be sure to visit bottlehouse (a newly opened madrona wine bar) for their amazing 5 at 5 deal. resident viticulture specialist and bar owner, henri, will choose a wine for you based on your preferences--and pour you a sizable glass for just 5 dollars! and these aren't the shitty house wine pours of happy hours everywhere, these are beautiful, local, hand-selected wines.
bottlehouse is the neighbor of a personal breakfast favorite, the hi-spot, in a beautifully renovated madrona house. the interior is fun, simple, and completely comfortable--decorated and designed by henri's partner and co-owner, soni. i was ready to settle down and stay for the whole happy hour period (and then some).
now, for those of you who can't just sip wine and be content (ahem.....me!) there are also delicious snacks on the menu. they are served to share, and favorably priced. my group decided on some delicious green cerignola olives, beecher's cheese curds, and a baguette with olive oil.
as for accommodation of those who are not inclined to enjoy the vino--bottlehouse offers several select beers, hot lips soda varieties, and rootbeer floats! i suggest you all go out visit bottlehouse...and soon. before long, this place is going to really catch on and be predictably packed. make yourself a regular as soon as possible, you won't regret it.
