The editorial take
Von's 1000Spirits delivers a cocktail program anchored by a famous $7.99 Scratch Martini, named Best Martini in the PNW by The Seattle Times. The menu spans creative drinks like the Oaxacan Old Fashioned and the tableside-smoked Smoked Oak & Cherry Manhattan, all built on house-made ingredients. A dedicated mocktail section and a name promising 1000 spirits round out the beverage identity.
