Located on the edge of Belltown, Barocho is self described as Latin infused and located in the Northwest. Barocho is an interesting upscale bar and restaurant worth checking out if you have loads of money to burn. This is not a bad thing, as many people do have the money to burn and Barocho is normally packed, especially during happy hour, which might mean people don't in fact have that much money to burn. Drink specials vary, and happy hour from 5-7 offers half price on delicious appetizers and 3 dollar beer and well drinks, as well as 4 dollar wines. This is the type of place that would both serve wine, have wine nights, and have happy hour specials on wine. If you understand that, you understand the nouveau rich-ness of Barocho, right down to the bathroom sinks which are nicer than anything I ever hope to own. They are the kind of sinks which rest atop the counter as if to say, "I don't have the interest or care to even install a sink, so I will place it here and it will be marvelous!" Give Barocho a try from 5-7 and from 10-close for some good deals, and then see if it's the place for you.

I would have loved to find a bar like Bar Ocho back when I was a frequent patron of bars/clubs. I stopped in there during an infrequent guys night out and we all had a great time. The bar has a nice neighborhood feel while also being upscale and hip. The drinks were flowing, the service was excellent and their happy hour prices on their appetizers were totally reasonable. Unlike a lot of Belltown bar/eateries where you get a lot of attitude from the bartenders, Bar Ocho had nice friendly service. Our bartender was great (didn't get his name) but he was cool, made good drinks, and didn't have any sort of attitude at all. All in all, it was a great night out and Bar Ocho definitely added to a good memory. Now if only I can get out more often....
