A new martini bar is opening up in the old Ascada Bistro space at 621 1/2 Queen Anne Ave N (across from the MarQueen Hotel and the Uptown Caffe Ladro).
We first got wind that Oskar’s Kitchen would be taking over the space after former Seattle Supersonic Shawn Kemp and his wife Marvena applied for a liquor license at the location.
According to Skyline Properties managing broker Nathan Belo, Oskar’s is opening its doors at 2 p.m. today.
“They’re still fiddling around with the menu but they’ll have the usual stuff, sandwiches, etc.,” he wrote. “They’re still hiring kitchen help so I’d give them a couple of weeks to sort out the food situation, but libations should be excellent.”
The new restaurant/lounge/martini bar will also have a daily happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. with $4 beer, wine, and well drinks, Belo says.
