What We’re About

We’re more than drinks. We’re a quick respite, a getaway from normal life, a happier hour.

Daphnes is known for its intimate vibe, friendly atmosphere, and engaging bartenders. The small curved bar encourages shared conversations, and two small corner booths are often occupied by friends catching up, or couples enjoying a romantic moment. The music is old school, the cocktails classic, and the atmosphere lively and playful. Always open from 3pm to midnight, Daphne’s is a reliable spot for a sociable sunny afternoon libation on the sidewalk, or a nightcap when it is cozy and warm inside on a winter’s night.

If you are traveling to Bellingham, drop into Jack’s Bar, downtown on West Holly street, and Southside Bar, in the historic neighborhood of Fairhaven. If you are heading to New York City, check out the welcoming waterfront neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and Pencil Factory bar located at the corner of Franklin Street and Greenpoint Avenue.

Located in the heart of downtown Edmonds, Daphnes has been serving vintage cocktails, cold beer, and a variety of local and European wines since 2007. Often voted the Best Bar in Edmonds, Daphnes is definitely the smallest bar in Edmonds - and possibly the Pacific Northwest!
