Naomi Bishop's First Look at The Old Sage for Serious Eats. "It's All About the Scotch" She Reports

This First Look story on Serious Eats digs into the bar side of things at The Old Sage. She writes, "Nobody else was paying much attention to Scotch, they say, when asked why they chose the spirit as a focus for the new spot. "Smoked meats and malts," the sign proclaims over the door of this sibling to Tavern Law, Spur, and the Coterie Room, succinctly getting to the heart of the mater. The smoked meat here is not the charcuterie or barbecue being offered elsewhere, though, they're quick to point out. Instead, they're serving lavender-smoked pork cheeks and pine-smoked foie gras. The malt part comes from 13 beer taps and the single malt Scotches that dominate the main wall of the bar."

Look Inside The Old Sage: Eater Seattle Story

Julien Perry visited us and what did she learn? Her story's here, which says, "What you need to know: The Old Sage, owned by Dana Tough and Brian McCracken (Spur, Coterie Room, Tavern Law), is not a barbecue or charcuterie joint — it's smoked meats; you can expect to pay a little less than what you'd spend on dinner at Spur; there are banquettes, lots of communal tables and bar seats; The Old Sage is open daily from 5 pm to close; the menu is heavy on smoked meats and vegetables, the focus being on both; as the photo gallery suggests, the place is most stunning in the evening, when the dark interior is set off by flickering candles, dim lighting, and a fireplace."
