The Violet Hour and the Whistler made GQ's list of the top 25 best cocktail bars in America. The list, which also includes a number of places in LA, NY and San Francisco, was topped by Seattle's Zig Zag Cafe, a small bar near Pike Place market, where bartender Murray Stenson plays "a medieval organ powered by Dubonnet, kirsch, and Tuaca." Violet Hour came in at No. 3 while the Whistler is a bit further down at No. 20. [GQ via Eater National]
