Editorial Review for The Sitting Room – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Intimate tables and a well-worn sofa and chairs blur the lines between cafe and living room at this eminently comfortable Queen Anne bar. Gently glowing lamps cast shadows across the burgundy cement floors and golden walls. Regulars drink wine and eat snacks at the bar seating area, or put up their feet on the valise-turned-coffee table. The front window, an old garage door, is thrown open on sunny days--enjoy the breeze and pretend you're in Paris.
The Draw
European cocktails kickstart the menu, including versions made with herbal liquor Chartreuse and tart Limoncello. The wine list is both extensive and affordable, mostly featuring bottles from France and Italy; the well-schooled staff are keen recommenders. Beer lovers will enjoy the long list of European brews, including Hoegaarden and Stella on tap. Small, shareable tasting plates include a decadent cheese board, European-style smoked salmon, pate, tapenade and daily soups.

The Sitting Room is the best. Hip & happening with a European flare. New ownership is now offering early evening and late night happy hour seven days a week. They are also now open until 2am. The new expanded wine list is affordable. The food is light cuisine including soups, salads, pate, smoke salmon, cheese boards, tapenade, bruschettta and dessert but the menu will continue to grow. The employees are TOP NOTCH!! They even notice when your glass of wine is getting low. The vibe is fun and the regulars are very friendly. No televisions and great music make it an ideal place to bring a date, hang out with friends or just stop in by yourself and meet new people. Everyone will make you feel at home. It is a one of a kind and I would be quite surprised to find another space in the city that can match it. Check it out. You will love it.
