Rosebud, Seattle

Rosebud - Yes, there are sleds on the walls.  True to its Citizen Kane namesake, Rosebud channels a 30's Hollywood sophistication with Vanity Fair booths, movie posters, and specialty martinis. Targeting the "I don't want bar food" crowd, the menu is refined and tasteful (i.e: pricey), with an extensive wine list.  In the middle of the Capitol Hill scene, Rosebud is a pre-or-post stop for fine dining in your club-attire. The secluded back patio feels more New Orleans than Seattle.  The Rosebud's loyal clientele recommend Silent Movie Monday nights, weekend brunch, and happy hour ($2 well drinks 4-8:30).
