Gold Bar Like List
The glam, glittery South Lake Union bar Gold Bar moved into the former space of Dacha Diner Like List on Capitol Hill on Thursday, according to a press release. The spot serves Caribbean-inspired cocktails alongside Latin American snacks and features a walk-up window with to-go cocktails as well as an outdoor patio. Co-owner Zach Huntting says in the release, "I always wanted to open a bar or coffee shop on Capitol Hill, someplace to be a focal point for community, art and music, but I didn't have the experience to get a lease. The knowledge we gained and the success of South Lake Union gave us what we needed to commit to a long-term lease on the Hill. We're really excited to welcome people into our new home; the historical, stand-alone building is beautiful, and the revamped interior has a fun, intimate, almost sultry vibe: think date night becomes impromptu dance party."

CLOSURES

Wayward Vegan Like List
Roosevelt's beloved vegan comfort food destination announced last Saturday that it will be closing in the next few weeks. The farewell Facebook post read, "It is with heavy yet hopeful hearts we regret to inform you we are closing Wayward. What began in a tiny neighborhood house nearly 14 years ago, has grown into something so big and beautiful it's almost too magnificent to quantify. But like all good things, sometimes you have to let them go to see what else is out there, and the time has come for us to do just that." The cafe will scale back hours to 9 am-4 pm until the projected closure date of August 30, which is subject to change depending on product and staffing, so be sure to check for updates and head over soon if you'd like to say goodbye.
