611 Lounge

611 has a good brown ale on tap and affable bartenders. I appreciate the relaxed atmosphere here, but as I write this review of 611 right now I am not relaxed…
I accidentally left a small tip last time I came in and the guilt has been haunting me ever since! If there is such thing as a ‘guilt tip’, I’m gonna be layin’ one down at 611 asap.

Best Mojito I’ve had up here in Seattle! Love everything about this place.

I was sent here on the promise of 46 ounce margaritas (Thanks, Ryan). Granted it wasn’t the BEST margarita I’ve ever had, but it definitely did do the trick, resulting in one happy customer.
Chili Verde, unfortunately, was only okay.

46oz Margaritas, dear god. The bartender described it as «only 22 seconds of alcohol». THAT’S NOT BAD RIGHT?
Answer: Yes it’s bad. I should admit something first though — It was like 11pm on Friday night and I had already been to 3 places earlier in the night, including this very bar before dinner. We came back to buy the birthday girl a margarita in a sick effort to piss off her boyfriend by leaving her too sloppy for sex.
Major backfire. I finished mine easily. The other 2 people we were with got through MAYBE 10 oz. That’s probably doesn’t say good things about me, but I’ll continue ignoring it. We asked the bartender if we could have some sippy-​cups to take the other two home in, but he said no. MINUS ONE STAR. (not really)
Actually, they close at 11 and we came in well-​after last call, but he served us anyway AND didn’t charge for the birthday girl’s drink. While these really aren’t the best margaritas, you can’t argue with that service. And he was genuinely nice and charismatic.
I’ll conclude my tale with an account of my failure (one of many) from that night. The birthday girl still got laid, whereas I peed in a sink and passed out on the floor shirt-​cocking.
