Description: An artsy Ballard joint specializing in Scandinavian fare.

Decor: Elegant hexagon-tile flooring, a terrarium filled with piles of naked Barbies, and, functioning as the bar, a giant wooden Viking ship decoupaged with vintage nudie pics.

Some delightful characteristics of old-timey erotica: Wholesome smiles, subtly lopsided breasts, and pronounced belly folds (in what was apparently once a popular pose, models slumped forward to showcase their bosoms).

Other sexy treasures: A small and rather intimidating collection of antique vibrators.

Happy hours: Daily 5ā€“7 pm.

Happy-hour drink specials: $1 off aquavits ($5 Lysholm Linie), $1 off beer ($5 SkullSplitter Ale), $1 off wine ($5 Selbach Riesling), $2 off cocktails (Stor Agurk, or "Big Cucumber"ā€”prepared with Aalborg Akvavit, lemon, sugar, and cucumber).

Happy-hour food specials: $2 off everything, such as the $4 Glogg Iskremā€”poached pear served with vanilla ice cream. recommended
