A not to be missed event! We are thrilled to be hosting BRAD THOMAS PARSONS, author of the James Beard award-winning book ‘Bitters: A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All’ and a world favorite: ‘Amaro:The Spirited World of Bittersweet, Herbal Liqueurs’!

We will be celebrating the launch of Brad’s new creation ‘Last Call: Bartenders on Their Final Drink and the Wisdom and Rituals of Closing Time’.

“A poignant, funny, and often elegiac exploration of the question: What is the last thing you’d want to drink before you die?

Readers will join Parsons as he journeys across the country to twenty-three cities, asking bartenders what their last drink would be.

The resulting interviews and essays reveal personal portraits of some of the country’s top bartenders, their favorite drinks, and a behind-the-bar look at their unique rituals and culture.”

All are invited to come explore this thoughtful read starting at 7:30PM on Thursday, October 24th.

$30 ticket includes one ‘Last Call’ inspired cocktail, bar snacks by the Willmott’s Ghost team+ tax and service charge.

Copies of the book will be available for sale by our friends from BOOK LARDER!

Come join us for a grand industry party full of delicious bites by Willmott’s Ghost; expect great conversation and great faces.

Chicory week is October 28th till November 3rd!

Hey all-things-bitter fans! Come eat a chicory dish at The Walrus and the Carpenter, Willmott’s Ghost and/or Westward during Chicory Week—October 28th till November 3rd!

Inspired by the sagre (festivals, usually honoring regional cuisine) of Italy, Chicory Week is a festive collaboration between local farms and Seattle’s best restaurants. This week and weekend is educational, delicious, social, and bitter in the best way.

Chicory Week is an organized group of farmers, food lovers, restaurateurs, and vegetable enthusiasts. For one week each year, they promote the heck out of radicchio and its place in the PNW food scene. Their goal is to increase radicchio consumption, production, and enjoyment by sharing our passion with others.
