As a former Seaport resident, I wish ZaZiBar had been here when I lived there. It lives on the ground floor of the building that has Kings and Flight Club in it. I've been multiple times now, and if you walk in at a quiet time, it's a chill establishment, and if you come in when the music is going, best believe the vibes will be vibing! One thing I enjoy about ZaZiBar is that the cocktails are inventive. Yes, they are Seaport priced, but that is to be expected given the location. My favorite is the Lychee Me Please, which has a noticeable but not overpowering lychee flavor that goes very nicely with the Grey Goose. The Zazi Lada is a particularly beautiful drink that comes adorned with fruit and flowers. They really make you feel like you've having something special.On the food side: The food menu is limited but thoughtfully created. I'm leaning more and more into vegan dishes these days, and the vegan sliders are exceptional. I don't think I've ever called anyone's sliders exceptional (LOL), but they are! There are also Halal Beef Sliders, which carry much more of a flavor punch than their size would suggest. The smoked pineapple wings are also great. The first time I came here, the bartenders (who are all super nice--it honestly feels like a friendly, Southern vibe, except it's largely a Caribbean one!) grabbed fruit-shaped shakers, and so did we, and everyone started making music. It was such a fun moment that's difficult to capture adequately in words, but that's when I know that this place was something special. It's wonderful to have a Black-owned establishment in Seaport. I hope ZaZiBar will stay here for many years to come!
