Nestled in the pulsing heart of Seattle’s Belltown area, the Seattle Social Cafe and Bar stands as a testament to the city’s vibrant spirit and the evolving tapestry of its culinary scene. The location at 2619 1st Avenue, which once housed CJ’s, carries with it a legacy of over 40 years. When Beau McKeon took the reins, he aimed to both honor this legacy and infuse a fresh contemporary spin. This journey entailed more than just curating an eclectic menu; it meant redesigning the space to reflect the ethos of modern Seattle. And in the realm of Seattle restaurant metalwork, Pacific IronWorks proudly played an instrumental role.
McKeon’s vision for Seattle Social wasn’t just about gourmet bites and tantalizing cocktails; it was about creating a haven where the essence of Seattle thrived. From dawn’s first light, when the city clamors for its caffeine fix, to the evening when friends gather for cocktails and conversation, this establishment is more than just a cafe and bar. It’s a place where memories are forged over fresh, farm-to-table meals and artisanal pastries.
As patrons step into Seattle Social, they’re first greeted by the bakery and cafe section. But it’s not just the aroma of freshly baked goods that captivates; it’s the gleaming stainless steel counter that anchors the space. Crafted with precision by Pacific IronWorks, this counter isn’t merely functional. It’s a work of art. Serving as the backbone of the kitchen, this stainless steel counter in Seattle reflects a melding of utility and aesthetic appeal, a signature of Pacific IronWorks’ expertise.
Yet our craftsmanship doesn’t stop at just the interiors. As patrons approach the establishment, they’re met with a sight that defines the brand identity of Seattle Social: a custom metal sign, sleek and modern, bearing the Seattle Social logo. Pacific IronWorks harnessed the precision of CNC plasma technology to craft this signage. Post-cutting, the sign was treated with a powder coat of black, bestowing it with durability and a refined finish.
The partnership between Pacific IronWorks and Pacific Construction in realizing Seattle Social’s vision underscores a shared commitment to excellence. Both entities brought to the table not just technical prowess, but an understanding of Seattle’s essence. In the vast landscape of Seattle restaurant metalwork, such collaborative ventures pave the way for architectural and culinary marvels.
Beau McKeon’s dedication to sourcing locally and crafting each dish with meticulous attention mirrors Pacific IronWorks’ approach to metalwork. Just as Seattle Social’s menu boasts a farm-to-table freshness, our designs and creations are rooted in the local ethos, tailored for each client’s unique vision.
