Friendly Spot with Flexible Whisky Pours The Whisky Bar was a nice stop—the bartender was super cool, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Prices were generally average, although a few of the pours leaned on the higher side. The real highlight here was their flexibility in offering smaller pours (0.5 oz and 0.25 oz), allowing whisky enthusiasts to taste interesting and niche bottles at just a fraction of the full-pour price, around 1/3 to 1/6 the cost. Their whisky selection was good, featuring some lesser-known and intriguing options that made exploring their menu enjoyable. The relaxed atmosphere and approachable staff added positively to the experience, making it a comfortable place to casually sample whiskies. If you're in the neighborhood, it's definitely a worthwhile spot to drop by and enjoy a dram or two without needing to commit to full pours.
Colby was very knowledgeable about his whisky. He shares my love of Kilchoman and the distilleries on Islay. Beware, though. Don't ask him about Macallan. Ha!
Assistant manager at bar courtesy and enjoyed the recommendations and whiskey poured. Clean place, pleasant atmosphere. Bar area and tables clean well stocked place bathrooms back around the bar.
Stopped here for a quick drink with some friends. They have a really nice whiskey collection with some nice cocktail selections as well. We took an old fashion with rye whiskey, Manhattan, whiskey sour and an amrutt scotch. I also took the cheese cake which was good. It was not very busy when we went but then again it was a Sunday afternoon. Overall a nice place and definitely worth checking out.
Nice bar with great ambiance, the price is reasonable. The fish n’chips is pretty good here, crispy with great portion. The Old fashioned has a strong fragrance of citrus. Personally I think it is great but might not be ideal for heavy drinkers. The Smokey and the Bandit is a little sweet for me, but the scotch fragrance is pretty strong and blended pretty well. Overall, a recommended bar at downtown Seattle!
My boyfriend and I are big bourbon fans so we made sure to make a visit to this place. The bartenders were nice and super knowledgeable on all of their whiskeys. The list was extensive and impressive. They also made me the best whiskey sour I've ever had! It was a really fun experience if your a whisky fan. And if you really want to have a conversation about it, make sure to sit at the bar! Oh, and the food was really good too.
Big portions and great cocktails! I ordered the impossible burger and a painkiller and my friend ordered the brussel sprouts and a mojito. My drink was well made and came in a fun tiki themed glass with very little ice, which I appreciated. My friend loved the brussel sprouts and the burger was delicious!
