The folks who bring you “expert restaurant recommendations for every situation” recently included Daphnes on their 20 Best Bars in Seattle list. Aimee Rizzo & Kayla Sager-Riley kindly describe Daphnes this way:

Between the phenomenal cocktails, friendly bartenders, and palpable big-night-out energy, we’ve never met a bar that we wanted to make “our bar” more than Daphnes in Edmonds. For a spot that seats around 15 people, there’s always something exciting happening here. On a Friday evening, it’s a cramped sardine tin singalong party, with “Volare” blasting while couples who can’t fit inside drink negronis and dance on the sidewalk patio. On an otherwise-snoozy Monday, their L-shaped marble counter gets full fast. Use it for a first date or catch-up with a friend, and come for textbook versions of coupe drinks like aviators and corpse reviver number twos, an Italian spritz, a frothy off-menu jungle bird, or just a platter of melted brie and baguette. That’s their only dish, and exactly what you wanted with that french 75 anyway.

And with The Infatuation’s mission, “to bring you the most honest and trustworthy opinions on where to eat around the world”, we are humbled.
