Seattle's Zig Zag Cafe Named Number One
NEW YORK, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- To compile and rank the nation's best cocktail bars for the October issue, GQ traveled over 30,000 miles, visited twenty-one cities and 102 bars, and drank more than 400 cocktails, before finally selecting Seattle's Zig Zag Cafe as the number one bar on the list.
