Rider in Hotel Theodore is new hotspot in downtown Seattle is inspired by the Puget Sound.
The restaurant celebrates two of the region's most defining characteristics -- the forest and the ocean.
Rider is basically brand new. Hotel Theodore opened in November of 2017 and is an upscale hotel that honors Seattle's long tradition of makers and builders.
They even have artifacts on hand from the Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI).

Even the cocktails are made from fresh-picked ingredients.

- One Inch Punch – This cocktail honors Bruce Lee and is made with Pisco, pineapple liqueur and juice, lime, agave, egg white, coffee beans and Peychaud's bitters.
- Fife's Failed Plan – A reference to the city's failed attempt to buy the Space Needle, this Mezcal drink is expertly mixed with Amaretto, orange juice, lime and cardamom bitters.
- Cold, Bold & Together (CBT) – The name comes from Kenny G's first album and is represented with bourbon, Amaro, sweet vermouth, Peychaud's bitters, and Absinthe.
