Club Seltzer: Pioneering Zero-Proof Sips in the Pacific Northwest
Club Seltzer is making waves as the first seltzer-focused bar in the Pacific Northwest, offering a dynamic experience centered on the zero-proof movement. With a menu that features colorful, vibrant beverages hand-crafted from adaptogens, fresh fruits, and botanicals, Club Seltzer’s offerings are reminiscent of traditional cocktails in their presentation—but without a drop of alcohol. These mocktails embrace the essence of mindful drinking, aligning with a broader trend toward health-conscious, alcohol-free lifestyles, which peaks during moments like Dry January, but is truly coming into its own as a modern way of living.
The seltzer bar’s laid-back, beach club-inspired vibe makes it a perfect gathering spot for friends, after-work meetups, and group events, providing a social experience without compromising sobriety. Whether you’re exploring the zero-proof movement or looking for fresh, flavorful options, Club Seltzer adds a fun twist to Bellevue's craft-beverage scene.
KODE Pizza: Detroit-Style Meets Korean Fusion
At KODE Pizza, pizza gets a bold upgrade with its Detroit-style crust and Korean-inspired toppings.

As part of Lincoln Square’s revitalization, KODE is designed for group dining, offering ample space and special menus for gatherings. The neon-lit interior channels a vibrant energy, mirroring the bold flavors fresh out of the oven from the famous Detroit-style pans.
