Washington: Seattle Classic, Von’s 1000 Spirits, Seattle
“Taking it one step further with a peppered brown sugar bacon , it might be more than just a beef patty in a bun but it would be a shame not to include Von’s Seattle Classic as it’s consistently praised for how thick and juicy the meat is. The burger patty is made of prime marbled beef and toppings include lettuce, red onion, tomato, Cheddar, and Jim’s Drive-In sauce.”

“The family behind the Seattle happy-hour haunt Von’s expands with another bar restaurant, situated across from Novelty Hill and Januik wineries. Merrisa Firnstahl-Claridge, the fifth-generation owner, opens an Eastside Von’s, with 100-indoor- and-outdoor seats, located next to the family’s Northwest Spirits Tasting Room & Retail Center that opened last year. Like its flagship Seattle bar, the Eastside Von’s has the popular “Wagering Wheel,” where patrons can spin the wheel to try to win a discounted stiff drink.”

‘“We are so eager to be opening a new Von’s 1000 in Woodinville. What an exciting, vibrant community,” fifth-generation Von’s operator and owner Missy Firnstahl-Claridge said in a news release. “Von’s will offer locals and destination travelers our house-made sourdough pasta preparations, sharable pizzas, built-on house fermented sourdough, and Von’s hamburgers, just to name a few customer favorites. We have imagined what will be a gorgeous space: Our famous 1000+ spirits back bar will be prominent, (and) we plan an expansive indoor dining room/bar area plus 30 seasonal patio seats.”’
