    Wow what a great find on a work trip! There's so many places to choose from right here in the Pike Place Market area. Lucky me, I landed at Zig Zag!

    Service from Anna and Erin was spot on a dm fabulous. Technically, I believe Anna was my server yet Erin bought several things and was very attentive as well. It kinda worked as tag team service and that was just fabulous!

    All the food was spot on, they had plenty of gluten-free options and the happy hour wine was very good.

    My only complaint is that I ate way too much because the food was so great! My hotel is around one plus miles ...uphill. Ugh.  It'll be good for me, right?!? Super good, I'll be back!

    BEST HAPPY HOUR. So many fun drinks and yummy snacks. They have one of the most extensive cocktail menus I've ever seen and it was hard to decide on just one (okay, two) to try. For snacks we had the fries which have a great balance of salt and dress black pepper and the crispy pig skin which came with a fantastic aioli.

    We arrived around 5:30 and were able to get a seat on their small patio, but the inside looked nice too if the patio is full.

    This place never fails!
    When all the restaurants in the downtown area close down around 10 and you want a fab bit & a great craft cocktail - zigzag is there to save the night!
    I have been a patron for over 10 years and honestly not one bad experience. The food is always interesting and a culinary adventure; presentation is never haphazard and the ambiance is very cozy and romantic.

    This visit we had steak frites, olives and the cheese plate. The orange marmalade was amazing ---. I had an old-fashioned (which was super smooth); we also had a craft cocktail that I cannot recall the name of.

    Their list of specialty liquors and drinks will always serve up an interesting option to try.

    Summer nights (week nights) are made very special with an impromptu visit to have great food & drinks with the perk of sitting outside and smelling the wonderful salty oceanic air! The old streetlights in the alleyway create a very cozy atmosphere -- just overall a great spot!

    It's not a big place, so keep that in mind for busy weekend visits.

    I had a great experience here. I've heard a lot of good things about Zig Zig and I'm so happy I've finally made my way there to experience it myself. I ate the fries and deviled eggs off their late night menu. I loved the sultry smokey ambiance and the bartender was great. I just loved watching the art that goes into crafting their perfect cocktails. I had a simple Moscow mule, perhaps next time I'll try one of their house cocktails. The deviled eggs were so yummy! Maybe I'll be back soon to try more food!

    I heard so many great things about Zig Zag that I figured I had to give it a try. But honestly, I was pretty disappointed with what I found. The bar had a pretty cool feel to it, but their drinks were outrageous for their content. I had one drink and decided to leave. My server almost seemed offended that I didn't order food, which seemed rude.
