The new Shot Bar is a walk-up counter connected to Rel-Lish Burger Lounge on Concourse B at Sea-Tac, and it is reportedly the first bar of its kind at an airport within the U.S.
Customers order at a service window and receive their choice of liquor in a red plastic cup. Options on the menu include Hornitos Crystalino tequila, Ketel One cucumber, and mint vodka, or Brown Sugar Bourbon and Fireball, reported.
But travelers will not be able to enjoy their shots while riding on the moving walkway or sitting within the lounge, waiting for takeoff. The drinks must be consumed at the counter as the airport doesn’t allow alcohol to-go.
“Just order, shoot your shot and go,” the restaurant wrote on social media.
Shots cost $7 for a single or $10 for a double.
Restaurants in Washington remain restricted to 25% capacity because of the pandemic. However the airport is expecting to see an increase in traffic as spring break approaches, Q13 FOX in Seattle reported.
“Shot Bar addresses that in a fun and pioneering way,” Rel-Lish chef Kathy Casey mentioned in a written statement. “Plus, there’s nothing more fun than a quick shot to kick off vacation.”
Dawn Hunter, the airport’s director of aviation commercial management, mentioned in a statement that the airport’s dining options have faced main changes since the coronavirus arrived within the U.S. She praised new ideas like Shot Bar as a way to continue serving passengers.
“2020 was difficult for our airport and the businesses here due to the pandemic and its impacts on travel,” Hunter mentioned. “It’s exciting to embrace innovations like Shot Bar to continue to create positive experiences for travelers during their journey.”
