Have a friend who loves reading but also loves relaxing in fancy hotel bars? This is the night for you and them. Seattle’s most luxurious literary event transforms the Sorrento’s mahogany-lined Fireside Room into a cozy reading sanctuary. Hosted by former Stranger editor Christopher Frizzelle, the parties feature two hours of languid piano music from Paul Matthew Moore but little to no chatter. Yes, it’s a party where everyone shuts up and reads. (What you read is entirely up to you.)
📣 Pro tips:
🛋️ Consider a loveseat ticket for a reading date night
🔥 Book “by the fire” seats early—they sell out fast
☕ The Sorrento’s famous hot chocolate pairs perfectly with weather reading
🍻 Since it takes place in a bar, this is a 21+ event
