Daphnes Bar

Daphnes Bar is a beloved cocktail and wine bar nestled in the heart of downtown Edmonds, Washington, just steps from the historic Edmonds Theater. Since opening its doors in June 2007, this diminutive gem has been serving vintage cocktails, cold beer, and an impressive selection of local and European wines to locals and visitors alike. At just 250 square feet, Daphnes claims the title of the smallest bar in Snohomish County—and possibly the entire Pacific Northwest—yet it packs an enormous amount of character into its cozy space. The intimate setting features a small curved bar that encourages shared conversations, while two corner booths provide romantic nooks for couples and friends catching up. The atmosphere is lively and playful, with old-school music providing the backdrop for excellent cocktails crafted by friendly, engaging bartenders. The Seattle Times has praised Daphnes for its ‘excellent cocktails’ and The Infatuation raved about its ‘phenomenal cocktails, friendly bartenders, and palpable big-night-out energy.’ Open daily from 3pm to midnight, Daphnes offers a delightful respite from everyday life—a happier hour where taste truly trumps elbow room. Whether you’re enjoying a sunny afternoon libation on the sidewalk or a warm winter nightcap indoors, Daphnes delivers an unforgettable experience that keeps patrons coming back year after year.
