Word on the street
What locals are saying
Bourbon N' Bubbles anchors the Upper King cocktail scene with a bourbon and Champagne program serious enough to earn notice in Whisky Advocate, and the adjoining speakeasy annex, Lamar's, gives the whole operation a second gear for late-night regulars. The velvet-and-dark-wood room is consistently praised; the cornbread and espresso martinis draw genuine loyalty from locals, while the broader dinner menu earns more qualified enthusiasm — food quality and service both trend inconsistent, and at these price points that gap is hard to overlook. The bar runs to 2am nightly, which is where much of the real energy lives.
