Parlour, a new wine bar and coffee shop in Pioneer Square, is becoming my go-to space for working remotely in Seattle.
Zoom in: The combined cafe and bar — which also serves up a killer charcuterie plate — has strong WiFi and a welcoming atmosphere conducive to staying awhile.
- You can start out with a coffee and pastry while pounding away on your laptop, then transition to a glass of wine and array of cheeses if your work drags on longer than planned.
Yes, but: The vibe shifts to laidback hangout mode in the evening, so you may want to close your laptop and make some new friends.
- Parlour is open until 9pm Wednesdays through Sundays, letting you stick around and choose your own adventure.
If you go: The wine list is constantly rotating, so it's a good place to discover different varieties.
- Last week, the bartender poured me a refreshing Hungarian wine that made me rethink my skepticism of chilled reds.
What to try: The salumi and formaggio plate ($25) came with fennel salami, smoked prosciutto, boar sausage, two types of cheeses, chestnut flower honey and citrus preserve.
- You can also skip the meat and get only the cheese, honey and preserves ($11).
- Other bites include olives, marcona almonds, focaccia with olive oil, an arugula salad and sandwiches.
The fine print: Parlour serves up no judgment if you want a glass of wine or beer at 10am — although the full food menu isn't available until 3pm.
Stop by: 119 Yesler Way (the corner of Yesler and Occidental Avenue South).
- 8am-3pm Tuesday, 8am-9pm Wednesday through Sunday. Closed Mondays.
