Kathy Casey Launches SHOT BAR Pop-Up at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

Celebrity Seattle chef Kathy Casey is bringing the new pop-up concept Shot Bar, a quick serve counter for adult libations, to Rel’Lish Burger Lounge at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Located on Concourse B, passengers waiting for a table at Rel’Lish or those on the move can order from a menu of chilled spirits. Just order, shoot your shot and go. Shot Bar is the first concept like this to open at a U.S. airport.

“Limited seats are available for passengers to have a cocktail at the airport due to physical distancing protocols, but the interest from travelers for adult libations remains high,” said Kathy Casey. “Shot Bar addresses that in a fun and pioneering way. Plus, there’s nothing more fun than a quick shot to kick off vacation. Shot Bar offers a fast and safe solution to serve today’s traveler during the pandemic. The Port of Seattle is paving the way for us to lead with new ideas, and we’re grateful for their support.”

The drink menu features several options to accommodate the spirit palates of every guest ranging from Hornitos Crystalino Tequila, Ketel One Botanical Cucumber & Mint to Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, and local Northwest favorite Heritage Brown Sugar Bourbon. The drinks are dispensed from a to-go counter for travelers on the move. And, with a nod and a wink to kitsch, the beverages are served in two-ounce versions of iconic red Solo cups.

“The next time you visit SEA the experience looks and feels different, including in how you dine, imbibe, and shop,” said Dawn Hunter, director of commercial management at SEA. “2020 was difficult for our airport and the businesses here due to the pandemic and its impacts on travel. It is exciting to embrace innovations like Shot Bar to continue to create positive experiences for travelers during their journey.”

The dining and retail tenants at SEA adjusted operations to protect the health and well-being of employees and travelers. Each tenant implemented procedures for safe operations such as mandatory masks, physical distancing to limit close interactions, sanitation, and hand hygiene protocols. Restaurant occupancy is limited to 25 percent as part of Governor Inslee's Healthy Washington — Roadmap to Recovery plan.

Kathy Casey has multiple locations at the airport, including Rel’Lish Burger Lounge (located in Concourse B), Lucky Louie Fish Shack (Central Terminal) and Dish D’Lish (located in Concourse C).
