Great Venues: Zig Zag Cafe

The Zig Zag Café is an unpretentious place with an eclectic crowd of old and young whose common desire is good food, good drink, and good company shared. It is also the place which arguably began the cocktail movement on the west coast.

Behind the bar owners Ben Dougherty and Kacy Fitch and bartenders Murray Stenson (named Best Bartender in America at Tales of the Cocktail, 2010) and Erik Hakkinen serve up a wide variety of cocktails, from timeless classics to innovative newcomers.
