In Short

An intimate lounge located in the up-and-coming South Lake Union, this neighborhood hangout specializes in handcrafted vodka infusions made with seasonal organic fruits and vegetables. Housed in the same building as its partner Banya 5, a Russian-inspired urban spa, this cozy lounge is named after bundles of oak branches used in traditional Russian saunas. Attracting similar clienteles, guests of both venues are encouraged to sip the garlic-and-pepper health vodka pre-spa to increase circulation. Hits: Fresh creative infusions introduced seasonally keep regulars coming back for more.Misses: Still ahead of the development curve, sparse businesses in the surrounding area make going to this destination bar a special trip.
