The Tin Table, a restaurant that was housed in the newly renovated Oddfellows Building on the 2nd floor across the hall from Century Ballroom–now Reverie Ballroom–is now closed. However, it is making way for something new.

The Tin Table closed at the end of May and handed over ownership to former Bar Manager Sander Raav in June, according to the restaurant’s website.

The restaurant is undergoing renovations and will reopen with a new name and a stronger focus on the bar. It will be known as a “hidden gem,” emphasizing craft cocktails while still offering a food menu featuring The Tin Table’s signature Floozy Burger.

According to Washington Corporations and Charities Filing System, a business named Broken Shaker is registered under Raav’s name in the same location as The Tin Table at 915 E. Pine St. 

What Now Seattle reached out to Raav regarding the proposed name change and future plans, however he has not yet responded.

“I do know that in Sander’s hands it will remain a great place to grab a drink and catch up with friends,” the website said.

Raav began his career in the Food and Beverage industry in 2004 in his native country of Estonia. He came to Seattle in 2010 where he has held positions as bartender, bar manager and treasure for the Seattle Chapter of United States Bartenders Guild. He started working as Bar Manager at The Tin Table in 2016 and now it’s time for a new start.

The Tin Table isn’t the only establishment in the building to change over ownership. Century Ballroom closed in March and was bought by Wilder Ventures.
