SEATTLE — Something new is on the menu at a renovated Starbucks in Seattle: beer and wine. The store that reopened Monday is the first under the Starbucks brand to offer alcohol. Craft beer and local wines go on sale after 4 p.m. The idea is to offer drinks and a wider variety of savory food that will attract customers after the morning espresso rush. The store closed in July for the renovation, which also includes a circular coffee bar that brings customers closer to the baristas. The Olive Way store is one of Starbucks’ percolators for ideas that could someday spread to the Seattle-based chain’s other locations.
