Did you know that Seattle hipster restaurants don’t like to serve water to their diners in standard pitchers anymore? Nope. Everything is self-serve ie) they put a fancy swingtop bottle on your table filled with water that may or may not be room temperature without the ice and they expect you to just like it. I bet they’d even look at you funny if you tried to ask for ice. Why do you have to be so high maintenance? After all, Seattle restaurants are being trendy and they are considered way ahead of other restaurants also known as rookies because they are still using pitchers. So if you’re going to eat at Cafe Presse, Oddfellows or Skillet Diner – get ready to look SUPER fancy with your swingtop bottle with no ice.
Skillet Diner takes it a bit further though and instead of cups they use mason jars. Oh yeah. Capitol Hill is hip and we all want you to know it.
