Anu Apte, Rob Roy: "I like going to Fadó to watch fútbol and drink beer. When I do have cocktails, I go to places that aren't under the radar because I know they'll make the drink right. I also like going to Tavolata, Black Bottle, or Tillikum, for food and wine."

Robert Rowland, Oliver's Twist: "I have my preshift pint at The Yard. Always great beer on tap and paired with a couple of adobada tacos and some fresh guacamole fortifies me for the looming shift to come."

Gavin DeCantillon, Percy's & Co.: "The bar at the Arctic Club (The Polar Bar). It's grown and sexy, and has one of the best bartender's in Seattle. It's a gem."

Linda Derschang, Linda's/Oddfellows/King's/Bait Shop/Smith: "My new favorite place is Loretta's in South Park. My old favorite is Bottlehouse in Madrona. [Proprietors] Soni and Henri let me bring my dog Jack during the summer."

Tyler Stamon, Stoneburner: "Beers and brown backs in all the hotel bars! You also get the most random crowd types. It's fun to meet business types or tourists. Plus, there's never industry there.
For vino, Marché in the market. Best patio and wine list in Seattle. Lots of variety and always a good experience. Cyril is a wine OG and all should pony up — he's a wealth of knowledge.
For a drink, though, Vito's and Cicchetti. Great little neighborhood bars with good spirits and food. Dive bars: Teddys on Roosevelt, Nickerson Street Saloon, The Zoo Tavern, and Laredos. I'm addicted to margarita machines!"

Murray Stenson, Il Bistro: "The Tin Lizzie. It was pretty lame at first, with a sign out front saying it's a speakeasy. People would walk in and say 'Where's the speakeasy?' And it was right off a hotel lobby. But now they have a new management team and decent drinks. And they care. We needed an adult bar in Lower Queen Anne.
Branzino is great. Peter Lam, who built Il Bistro, also built it. So it has that great lighting, it's cozy, and has a good bar staff. They're professionals and they have that hospitality down, but with personality."

Josh Haney, 418 Public House: "The Summit Public House. It was the first bar I walked into when I moved here from San Francisco, and it reminded me of the little places I used to hang out in. And The Lookout makes me feel like a tourist, without having to actually be a tourist, and has a great view. But the ultimate is The Quarter Lounge. It's a divey-ass bar, not a cocktail bar. Their drink special is a Touchdown. And they have really good corndogs. All they serve is corndogs and DiGiornio pizzas. No matter how drunk you are...well, it's a good last stop. They've called my girlfriend from my cell to come get me before."

Heather Mercier, Bar Ferd'nand: "I always go to Lecosho cuz it's so close to my house. And they have food till 1 every night! And I always drink rosé because they always have a nice one and rosé is easy to chug."
