Roquette is a French-inspired cocktail bar nestled in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood at 2232 1st Ave, Seattle, WA 98121. Established by Erik Hakkinen, previously known for his tenure at Zig Zag Cafe, Roquette draws inspiration from his experiences in Paris during his twenties, blending classic French elegance with tropical flair.

The bar’s ambiance is both cozy and sophisticated, featuring dim lighting, plush seating, and dark wood accents that create an intimate setting ideal for date nights or deep conversations with friends.  The interior design merges bistro aesthetics with tropical touches, reflecting France’s overseas territories, and is complemented by a curated playlist that transitions from hip-hop to R&B.

Complementing the cocktails is a selection of small bites, including seafood tins, salaminis, and unique offerings like caviar-topped Bugles with crème fraîche.  Roquette also provides exclusive spirits for purchase, such as their own Jamaican rum aged in Calvados barrels and a special barrel of Four Roses Single Barrel bourbon.

Whether you’re a cocktail aficionado or seeking a refined evening out, Roquette offers a distinctive experience that captures the essence of French-inspired mixology in the heart of Seattle.
