We’ll take this reading sesh on the rocks, please. Book-lovers and casual cocktail sippers, listen up — The Ink Drinker is turning over a new page in Ballard.
Opening this winter (with an exact date TBD), The Ink Drinker is a queer- + woman-owned bar that aims to craft drinks and an ideal environment for Seattle’s readers to kick back and crack open their current reads.
The bar is taking over the former site of Ballard Beer Company, which closed only a couple weeks ago. But in true Seattleite fashion, the brewery has been lending a hand in bringing together the vision for its next chapter.
Future patrons can expect a non-intrusive ambiance to set the vibe — no TVs + distracting screens, no blaring music, and definitely no “clangy” bar equipment.
“Reading isn’t just a hobby. It sustains me,” says Shelle, owner of The Ink Drinker. “I can’t wait to share this dream with you.”
