About

Russell’s seated bar in Seattle

Russell’s runs as a seated bar with booth seating, casual service, and a lively room in Seattle. Craft cocktails, craft beer, and whiskey shape the offer. That setup suits a slower sit-down drink.

Almost Well-suited and the street scene

Almost Well-suited anchors the drink list, alongside mezcal, tequila, and conventional wine. A street-scene view and casual dress code make the room easy to read for an informal stop.
