Sun Liquor
607 Summit Ave E
It just so happened to be a sunny afternoon in Seattle, so my co-workers and I decided to sit on the patio at Sun Liquor Lounge for happy hour. (Not to be confused with Sun Liquor Bar & Distillery, which is on Pike just a few blocks away.) Our server was kind and knowledgeable, and he took the time to answer our questions about the menu and their own distilled spirits.
The happy hour special boasts $2 off signature cocktails (most regular priced drinks are $8) as well as $3 well drinks. My first drink was the Bitter End, which tasted exactly like it sounds -- bitter -- and I loved it. My friends ordered a whiskey sour and a champagne cocktail that the bartender whipped up with lots of freshly squeezed juices. Our second set of drinks allowed me to try almost every cocktail on the menu, and each one was prettier than the next.

Nowhere on their website does it mention the killer happy hour from 5 to 6 pm where free pizza is served at Cornuto. And this pizza is good. My friend and I decided to check it out and were impressed with the servers, the pizza and the cocktails. I didn't think I liked a Negroni until I tasted their special grapefruit Negroni (pictured here.) Like the Bitter End at Sun Liquor, it was definitely savory and bitter, but that bite sits well on the palate. My friend said that it tasted medicinal, and I suppose she's right, but if this is what medicine tastes like, sign me up for a bottle or two!
In addition to the free pizza (Margherita and Marinara pizzas,) we ordered the Cracked Nocellara olives, marinated in wild oregano, olive oil & garlic and a Caesar salad to share. The crust of the pizza was a little soggy, especially for a thin crust. The salad and olives were both tasty. I admit that I need to return to eat a few other items on their menu in order to give Cornuto a fair assessment, but overall, I was very happy with this visit. Leaving with a full stomach of free pizza is nice!
