The editorial take
Room 55 runs a cocktail list split between 'Twist on Classic' and 'The Pour Book,' ten drinks in all, priced $20 to $25. The spirits roster includes Union Mezcal, Atian Gin, La Marielita 18-year-old Rum, Ocho and Mijenta tequilas, Sir Davis Rye, and Woodinville Bourbon. A separate 'Dry Sips' section offers three non-alcoholic drinks at $16. A 20% service charge and state tax are added to all checks.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Symphony in Black, a cardamom-infused Union Mezcal drink with house grapefruit cordial, lime, and grapefruit soda. For a stirred, spirit-forward option, the Jazz Aged combines Sir Davis Rye and Woodinville Bourbon with Amaro Montenegro reduction and cherry-walnut bitters, aged six weeks in oak.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a full cocktail list with recognizable spirit calls and house-made components, plus a dedicated non-alcoholic section rather than a single token option.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $20 to $25. Non-alcoholic Dry Sips are $16 each. A 20% service charge and state tax are added to all checks.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
