Some Random Bar (No, Really) Now Open In Belltown

Remember the story back in May about "some random bar" taking over the old C.S. Finnegan's space in Belltown? It's not just a placeholder name — it's the real thing. And it's now open.

Owner Michael Maione tells Seattle Met the name is somewhat of an homage to Seinfeld : "The show about nothing kind of evolved into the idea of Some Random Bar, and not being about one specific thing."

Other facts: Eric Sakai, most recently of the Four Seasons in Jackson Hole, is the chef; the cuisine isn't quite gastropub, but it sort of is (crab nachos, steamed clams and mussels served on grilled ciabatta; pork belly sliders, twice-cooked oxtails, chocolate-dipped bacon strips); there are 15 wines by-the-glass (mostly Washington and California) and 11 mostly local draft beers; and if you order a PBR tallboy, it comes wrapped in a paper bag.

Hours of operation are Tues-Sun, 4 pm to 2 am.
