"I moseyed into Asa a few times over the holiday weekend, and had an absolutely fabulous time. One afternoon in particular, I stopped in for a drink at happy hour, intending to drink my drink and be on my way, but not only made me a delicious (and very reasonably priced) martini, but she also made my afternoon. My 30 min quick drink turned into a couple hours sitting on a stool chatting with a fantastic human and bartender. I cannot recommend Asa enough."

"I stopped here for the first time recently and had such a great experience that I felt like I had to share it. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and calm compared to the other bars I've been to lately. What really made the night stand out was Sasha. She was incredibly helpful and genuinely fun to talk to. Sasha's humor and personality really added to the whole experience, she made me feel like more than just another customer at the bar. You can tell she loves what she does by the way she connects with people. All in all, this place is a gem. Great drinks, great staff, and a great vibe."

"Cute local bar with very cozy ambience. Drinks are fine, small finger foods available, and the interior seems very carefully curated with interesting items. Overall quite attractive location."

"Such a cute place! Must go after a long day at work or weekend nights out. They turn down the lights at night and the vibe is great. Fun music. Sasha was the best server and so friendly. Highly recommend!"

"If you’re looking for the perfect cozy spot to escape the holiday madness, slip quietly into Asa on Mercer Island—our very own speakeasy-style sanctuary. Low lights, warm energy, and cocktails that taste like they were crafted by Santa’s favorite bartender himself. The moment you step in, it feels like you’ve discovered something special—because you have. It’s intimate, elegant, and just mysterious enough that you’ll want to protect the secret… while also telling everyone you love so you can all meet there again. The seasonal cocktails steal the show, each one balanced and festive without going full candy-cane chaos. And guiding this magical sleigh is Zeke, the bar manager and mixology genius. The man could probably shake up a snowstorm in a coupe glass if you asked. His hospitality and creativity turn an ordinary night out into a story you’ll want to retell at holiday parties. Asa has all the ingredients of a classic holiday hidden gem—local ownership, exceptional drinks, and that unmistakable “how did we get so lucky?” feeling. Check it out before the secret gets out. 🎁🍸"
