Best Wine Bar

Locöl Barley & Vine made a lot of residents happy when it opened just off 35th in a former tanning salon. It's got everything a neighborhood bar needs: a fireplace for when it's cold, a patio for when it's warm, cozy tables with pillows when you don't want to sit on a stool, and really cool salvaged-looking light fixtures that keep you from looking salvaged when you've tied on one too many. The wine and beer list is 95 percent Washington and Oregon and the food is 100 percent creative, mainly because there isn't really a kitchen at all. The tiny four-by-five-foot space, which boasts a whopping two burners and a teeny oven, is (luckily) run by chef Charlie Worden, whose resume includes Skillet. In addition to its weekday happy hours, Locöl offers wine discounts from noon to 6 p.m. on weekends. Talk about a good neighbor.
