    This place has amazing cocktails! I’m knocking off a star though as $8 for 1 small slice of focaccia is outrageous and feels a bit out of touch. Additionally, the... read more

  If you're reading this because you're considering going to Joli, do yourself a favor and make the trip. Food, drinks, and service all exceeded my expectations. I stopped by here around 9 pm on a Friday night and was wowed by each thing that was brought to the table. Every drink and dish was both uniquely executed and thoughtfully balanced. My personal favorites were: Short rib, squash salad, shishito peppers and the gin-icillin. Joli is the perfect spot for a date night or family dinner for all foodies and gin lovers.

  Joli is an intimate bar in the Ballard area close to the Goodwill and a couple minutes west of Green Lake. We made reservations online at 8:30pm and were seated immediately for a party of two.

They are mainly a gin bar with martinis, gin cocktails, and gin flights on their drinks menu. My first drink was the gin-icillin ($17) which was a penicillin but with gin. It was smoky from the Laphroaig but had that clean flavor that was easy to drink. My second drink was the last word ($18) which was not on the menu but was just as delicious as the first drink if not more so. We had a funny conversation with our server afterward where he said that they barely had enough green chartreuse for my drink and just finished the rest of the bottle themselves.

For food we ordered the truffles fries ($9) and they were a very good shareable snack with nice truffle flavors and aromas. This was a cute bar with some very friendly servers and we spent a couple hours hanging out here.
