Best Bar In A Bar

2012 Winner ‘Best Bar In A Bar’ in other markets »

The Sexton

5327 Ballard Ave. NW, Seattle, WA 98107
Perhaps it's the B in Ballard that brings out the neighborhood's seemingly unquenchable thirst for bourbon. A number of recently opened establishments specialize in America's finest spirit, and none cater to this niche better than The Sexton. Those fiending for a pour of Elmer T. Lee or Eagle Rare need look no further than this Southern-fried addition to Ballard Avenue, where the drinks are served atop a constellation of white cassette tapes encased in glass. Music features prominently in the decor (with an old acoustic-guitar body converted into shelving, among other details), but those tapes, arranged like some sonic constellation castoff from the late '80s, are the unique touch that sets the place apart from those others nearby.
