Finally, fatcork is open on Sundays!

After 15 years (all in the same beloved subterranean spot in Seattle’s Lower Queen Anne neighborhood), fatcork is taking a big step. Starting November 2025 and continuing through the end of the year, guests can pop into the fatcork cave on Sundays from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. 

This decision marks an exciting milestone. Opening on Sundays will give both locals and visitors more opportunities to explore the cave, enjoy a tasting and discover new arrivals from France. 

“My wife, Abby, and I started fatcork 15 years ago with a simple but powerful mission: to bring the world’s best grower Champagne directly to wine-lovers in the U.S. with beyond-exceptional service,” said Bryan Maletis, founder of fatcork. “Today, that spirit and our values are the same. We cherish every one of our grower relationships. We still obsess over quality. And we’re still a small business fueled by passion and curiosity. By opening on Sundays, we’re giving guests more opportunities to pop in, taste something extraordinary and share the experience with friends. Plus, Sundays are practically made for Champagne.” 

Adding Sundays also supports fatcork’s effort to increase awareness of its unique services, bringing in new business, boosting engagement with its loyal customer base and bolstering sales in the face of crippling tariffs — all while keeping its prices stable. 

Guests are invited to visit fatcork at 111 W. John St., Suite 136A, in Seattle, Washington, any day of the week to enjoy curated tastings, discover one-of-a-kind bottles and experience the joyful, festive atmosphere that has made fatcork a Seattle favorite since 2010.
