where-seattle.com 53 MY SEATTLE

Cristina Buenaventura Bar Manager Named Seattle’s favorite bartender, Cristina Buenaventura can be found putting new twists on old classics at Currant Bistro inside The Sound Hotel.

Currant Bistro is in the Belltown neighborhood. Where else do you like to go there? My favorite restaurant in Seattle is Umi Sake House. I love how fresh their fish is, and their rolls are amazing. I’m not a dessert person at all, but their green tea fried ice cream is one thing that I can never turn down. I also spend a lot of time at Jupiter Bar, which is a pinball bar—they have a bunch of really beautiful graffiti art on the walls, and they do artsy events as well.

What do you love about living in Seattle? Every Saturday I walk through Pike Place Market and get snacks and food, and just enjoy the market. I feel like it’s one of those places that I always find something new in.

Where do you take visitors? My favorite touristy thing to do is the Seattle Great Wheel, and MoPOP is always really fun because it’s such an interactive museum.

When you want a drink not made by you, where do you go? I love to go to Mr. Darcy’s for really great cocktails. They’re very crafty, always coming up with something weird and cool. I also spend a lot of time at my local neighborhood bar in Greenwood, the Pub at Piper’s Creek.

What do you like to do when you’re not mixing delicious drinks? I do a lot of crafts, like make macramé and knit. I found a really cool yarn shop in Pike Place Market called So Much Yarn. If I didn’t BRYAN KANG have a huge bin of yarn already, I’d spend so much money there.
