This bar definitely has a mood. It’s very dark and dimly lit, which gives it a fun and posh environment. They have a very good selection of top shelf liquors and it’s a perfect after bar spot with friends or family.

We went on a Monday night so it was pretty dead. Super cool art on the wall. 2 drinks was 50 bucks with tip so be prepared for that. But great service, great character and good drinks. Forsure would go back

Super chill spot with tons of art on the walls and relaxing vibes. The drinks we had were solid, if not a bit sweet, and I was surprised the bar was so empty when we visited. Regardless, we had a solid time and would visit again if I was in the area.

We had a great experience here in First Hill. This spot has a cool vibe with a creative cocktail list, a fabulous bartender (Fiona), and Seattle worthy music playing. There is also a collection of beautiful art on both walls.

A good espresso martini. Cool art. I’m told they rotate it too

My favorite neighborhood bar. a HUGE fan of low light, chandeliers and candles and the art covering the walls. Almost every cocktail I’ve had has been delightful and decently priced, can have about two rounds without feeling the sting of the bill. Staff is super chill. Only complaint I have is while I really do love the music they play, it’s a bit too loud. The bar is set up to be more conversational than club and I can never hear what people are saying within changing so I wish the music could be turned down time to time.

Fantastic old fashion, I just wanted to go hide in a dark corner and enjoy a drink. This place was more than I was expecting. Dark dark dark room with dim candle like lights and wicked sick music that just sets the vibe. The bartender is leaving me be vibing with what appears regulars but I can see she is still looking over the make sure I'm not waiting. Reminds me of my fav pub back at home.

Visited in Aug 2023 A really great ‘hidden’ bar as the name suggests. My friends and I ended up visiting the place twice during our short stay in Seattle. Really loved the cocktails. My favourite cocktail was the “Seats Way Back” drink. Service was good. The interior artwork on the walls is so good and the place is worth visiting just for that. Definite recommendation for folks living in or visiting Seattle.
