Loretta's Northwesterner

Seattle


Slightly off the beaten path in the South Park neighborhood, this old-timey tavern expertly serves up a classic and nationally lauded char-broiled tavern burger at just $5 a pop. Warm and dim lighting against a log-cabin interior sets a quintessential Pacific Northwest vibe. A vintage Airstream sits in the back, and there's additional seating next to an outdoor fireplace.
