Read the story! Intimate setup. Well crafted drinks for individual tastes. You get the prohibition type, speakeasy feeling and it's pretty great. Bring your interesting friends here!
Got a list of recommendations from the locals :) Just pick up the phone on the first floor. It automatically dials up to the speakeasy and they let you in. No menu, just bartenders doing their thing.
The drinks have always been quite good and I love how the servers ask you questions to help figure out the best drink for you. Their food here is also absolutely amazing esp. the Foie Gras Terrine !
If your a tourist looking for a nice speakeasy-like quality bar , this is the place. Great whisky selection and hidden true speakeasy upstairs through the steel door by the phone ;) pick it up
Aviation, Slave to the Grind (rum based frappuccino style cocktail ) , oysters on the half shell. I'll definitely be back to try the speak easy upstairs
One of the coolest bars in town . Great cocktails (they make a great rendition of the Hot Charlotte) & small plates . Their fried chicken is legendary. Ask for The Needle and Thread . You may be in luck!
Their Woodinville House Old Fashioned is fantastic! Especially after they upgraded their ice cubes!
Crafty cocktails made by skilled people who can also improvise too. Chat with the bartenders and find your drink... When it's not slammed!
Cozy place with great cocktails , if you're willing to sit at the bar or stand you can usually get in pretty quick.
Even though it's known for cocktails , the food is also outstanding, and makes for a great, quiet dinner on a weeknight.
The Cascadian Campfire arrived at your table in a plume of smoke, and one of the tastiest whiskey cocktails I've had.
If you plan on going at a busy time make a reservation . They'll confirm with you ahead of time. Don't get plain drinks here, the cocktails are amazing!
Ballad of Casey Robinson( Nathan Weber, TL 2010 )+ 1½ oz gin + 1 oz Lemon + ½ oz Demerara+ 1 dash Scrappy’s Cardomom+ 1 slice Habanero muddled+ Bucket glass, crushed ice . Garnish lime twist
Needle and thread a very fun, even exciting, unique experience with really creative custom cocktails .
There’s a speakeasy upstairs . Text LL (if you know her!) if you go... she’ll explain how to get up there!
Great cocktails . Tell the mixologist what you like (and don't like) and he will come up w the perfect drink for you.
Great place for before or after dinner cocktails . I need to go to the speakeasy downstairs.
Tavern Law attracts a comely crowd that sips expertly wrought flips, slings, sours, and punches while snacking on small plates rich enough to hold up against those potent pre-Prohibition potables. Read more
Prices are approaching Canon levels ($18 cocktails )without the atmosphere and quality to match. Still good, but getting into the danger zone.
Come on a Sunday evening. Happy hour prices all night and you most likely won't have to wait for a table, as opposed to fri/sat nights where the wait time can exceed 1 hour.
Let them guide you on the menu. Enjoy a quick drink here before ringing the phone to go upstairs . Shhhhhh...
Everything is good here! From the olives to the burgers
Great cocktails , good atmosphere, not loud . Good place to try new drinks, friendly staff as well .
Cocktails served by legitimate professional bartenders . Prices are on par for the quality and service you receive.
Vieux Carré and the medium rare burger with pork belly . So. Good. Do it. Why are you still reading this.
Art of the cocktail . Tell them what you like/don't like for your drink and let the barkeep do their thing. Oh, and if you like conversation (as opposed to yelling) go upstairs . But make a reservation . Read more
If you are drinking beer or wine ..you have made a dire error. This is a cocktail bar par excellence! Treat it as such!
The fried chicken is out of this world. It is so good it would give Oprah and orgasm. The drinks are pretty darn good to.
Tough to get into these days, but this and Canon are the classiest cocktail places on the hill
Try to get into the speakeasy it's well worth it because the drinks are all custom
Awesome for drinks before using the home to go up to Needle and Thread
Through a heavy vault door is Needle & Thread, an upstairs bar where drinks are custom-made. Read more
Great little bar , quiet around 5pm for some quick work. No wifi though? Weird.
Fantastic drinks and staff . I highly recommend the Gatsby garden .
Pick your alcohol of choice and share your preferences, then let the bartenders create a cocktail for you. I've never been disappointed!
The food—poached salmon , fried oysters , sautéed pimientos de Padrón—is expertly cooked and appropriately modest, as if devised to keep your mind on beverages.
$21 for a sampler of five local whiskeys . Can't be beat.
Great whiskey selection and cocktails
The city 's premier speakeasy-style cocktail lounge and worst-kept secret. It's located upstairs through the bank-vault door. Pick up the rotary phone to get buzzed in. Read more
I went with the bartender’s choice, and they did not disappoint.
The better, more fun, relaxed scene above needle & thread.
This place seemed to focus more on the speakeasy aspects than actually serving outstanding cocktails or food. Everything was pretty much just OK
Burger with pork belly (and fries )!!
Great speakeasy . Gets busy.
Happy Hour is 5 to 7 p.m. M-Sat and all day Sundays with selected cocktails for $7 and well drinks for $4. All food is 10 percent off. Read more
Cinderella's Carriage is awesome. Light, refreshing, and a perfect fall drink.
Cocktails are very overpriced and not that good. They have unique ingredients but unfortunately the overall taste ends up not tasting right.
You won't find it on the menu but the fourth regiment is the only drink you should order.
Great drinks and great atmosphere.
Loved how small and comfy it was. Unfortunately, the bar we two, almost three deep of people. We'll try and head over there another time at a much earlier time.
So fun! The bartender are really good at finding new interesting drinks exactly to your taste. - Jordyn
Great hidden cocktail lounge. I recommend the Dealers Choice - Whiskey - Savory. - Loren Judah
The service is beyond outstanding. The drinks are delicious (try the chrysanthemum). The atmosphere is fun and relaxed. Make sure they know if it's someone's birthday. - Kailea Ball
Art is quite special and sex oriented. The music fit the overall mood of the bar. I highly recommend the Old Fashion and the Manhattan. A bit far from downtown but its worth it. - Louis Cleroux
Eclectic menu items and awesome decorations. Loved the maple cream cheese stuffed french toast with berries! :) - Shelby Allread
Cocktails Are fantastic. Try the swagger. They also have an $1100 cocktail for those feeling themselves that night (but not likely in the morning) - Derrick Deese
Awesome happy hour, the crunchy Seattle roll and spicy tuna were very good! Also really great service! - Jessica Tietjen-Frain
