Baba Yaga is a very nice bar in Pioneer Square. We went in for drinks before a Sounders game. The bar is very comfortable. There did not seem to be table service, so I went to the bar. My wife had a beer and I had something called a Petal and Roof with honeysuckle-infused bourbon. This was really tasty, just the perfect cocktail. We will back back again to have another and then try some food. read more

Located on the corner of occidental, we passed by this place a couple of times but just thought it was a bar / night club type of deal! It wasn't until I was looking for breakfast that I realized they also serve breakfast, coffee & other foods too! It was pretty empty on a Sunday morning, so we were able to sit ourselves anywhere. Water is self serve in the corner. We ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito & a carne asada breakfast torta. The breakfast burrito & breakfast torta were $15 each, bringing our total to about $35 before tip. They come with a side of sour cream + choice of salsa (we got the verde and mango habanero, which was nice and sweet! not too spicy at all & mixed with the sour cream was actually so good). The torta comes with meat, guac + pico all wrapped in a layer of crispy melted cheese (which, imo was a little much b/c I don't particularly like when my cheese comes like that), and was actually so tasty and super worth it for the price b/c it was actually so large?? I definitely left feeling super stuffed. (+ When it arrived, the girl working literally said "good luck b/c this thing is huge". ) The chorizo burrito was drippingly oily but was also very good too! The potatoes were a little al dented, but other than that, no complaints. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast & would absolutely return again if I were in the area. read more

Surprisingly busy, even on weekdays! Came here for the Chase Icon concert and really liked the venue! The place is huge and has lots of places to sit with an upper level and a basement. Really great bartenders; I got a vodka soda and a sour, which were both well made. read more

Baba Yaga grabbed our attention as we walked down the street to another location. Good music and lively sounds of fun in the middle of a Friday afternoon is where we wanted to be, so we popped in. We had some deliciously strong tequila espresso martinis, yapped, and just enjoyed the good mood of this place. They seem to be fairly busy, with half the tables taken up and a crowd regularly cycling in and out. Definitely wish I had had a later evening to try it out. read more

Dropped in to Baba Yaga in Pioneer Square one night to see Moon Panda and Night Heron. The music venue is in the basement. There's an upstairs seating area with couches, a television, and a game of Jenga, which I made use of while waiting for the show to start. I want you to know dear reader that it was my first time to play Jenga, at age 46, and while I assumed you laid down a wood plank, wait for your opponents to do the same until you have a tower, that is NOT how you play Jenga. That was endearing to my date though, who laughed and acted like I was very cute for doing so. I did enjoy a Maiz Macabre cocktail while I was waiting, and it was spectacular, and my bartenders were perfect-great service. In the end, Moon Panda canceled, but the opener, Night Heron out of Portland, stole the show and entertained us all. Baba Yaga will be on my list of places to return for a great spot to chill, see shows, and have a good cocktail or beer. read more

A solidly 4.5 star experience. The burritos were really good and honestly I was impressed. Maybe I did not expect something this good from a night club/dive bar but that's what I got - a damn good burrito. The ambiance was kinda fun - dive bar but in the day time/night club but with the lights on. The service was solid - you go to the counter to order and then they bring it out to you. The drinks were the only thing that didn't impress me really. The menu was interesting but mine was not really well mixed or had separated by the time I got it and my partner felt his was mid in flavor. That said, 5 stars for having a ridiculously good burrito for a night club and made my day. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Baba Yaga! I was expecting something akin to The Crocodile when I heard there was a place to hang apart from the concert area, but rather what you walk into feels like a legit restaurant. The upstairs restaurant and bar is quite spacious, has a cool style, a lot of seating. They serve food, which are variations on simple Mexican food (tacos, quesadillas, burritos) with several meat choices, they have a few house specialty cocktails listed but it seems like they could make any drink. The service was perfunctory, like attentive, nice, and nonchalant. I ordered a quesadilla with al pastor. I had this funny association with the meat, thinking it reminded me just a bit of manwich, but in a really satisfying way. It was pretty stuffed and a lot of food. The concert space is downstairs and it looks pretty cool down there. There is a fairly large space for merch, there's a bar, and then the concert area is a little small. The whole space reminded me a bit of the Sunset Tavern (if the bar was also in the concert area). Despite that, the show I went to felt fairly packed, but I didn't feel squished by any means, and had a good spot along a counter for drinks that I could lean on. The sound was super loud, but I tend to wear earplugs at concerts these days so it was fine. There was this really cool feature down there too, which was a large glowing tree sprawling the wall up onto the ceiling. Normal issues of the city apply here. I would never try to park down here on the weekend, so I bussed it there and walked and scooted home. I also know that it's a part of the city that feels a bit unsafe to some people. I didn't notice anything to disconcerting but I know we all have our different experiences and comfort levels. Overall, a very fun space to see a show and hang before. If someone you like is playing here, you should definitely check it out! read more

Located in Pioneer Square, I would say stick to a simple drink and go elsewhere for food. I went here with a friend for a breakfast burrito because the pictures looked good, but flavoring wise it didn't make the cut. It's a bit too simple tasting for the price, but if you are nearby and need a bit before heading out, it's right there. Service was good, no complaints. They were friendly and got our order out as soon as possible. When you walk into the place, it feels like a bar because well, it is a bar. I'd be willing to try it again if I'm in the area, but other than that I think you could find something better around there for breakfast. read more

Great service and delicious Margaritas! We did step up to the Reposado tequila which made them extra tasty and a bit more $$, but definitely worth it! The tacos were okay but the mullitas (sp?) were delicious! Stopped in after a Mariners afternoon game and easily beat the crowd. Short walk back to the stadium to retrieve the car from the parking garage. Good alternative to the stadium food and crowd. Enjoy! read more

I've been to Baba Yaga a few times and I'm consistently impressed! Very cool space, cool moody lighting, and nice staff. Lots of different spaces to hang out, soft seating to chill and tables/bar space to eat at. Breakfast burritos are fabulous, so stop in in the morning if you have the chance too. Loved that they let my dog pop in with me for a little bit! Will always pop back in when I'm in Seattle! read more

Food was good, but a little bland. The server was present and helpful. And the atmosphere was charming. It was a little expensive for a burrito with no sides, and an NA beer. But it was a pretty great experience. read more

Nothing special, it's ok'ish quality food. The atmosphere was pretty decent. Drinks were decently priced for Seattle.

Good venue, good shows, strong drinks, and AMAZING people. They are literally the kindest staff I've ever experienced at a bar like this.

Had such a great experience at Baba Yaga thanks to the bartender with the pink hair! Dessa! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and just had the best energy. From the moment we sat down she made us feel welcome, checked in often, and made sure everything was perfect. You can tell she genuinely cares about giving people a great experience. Super sweet, lovely personality, and amazing service. Definitely made our night better. Great vacation read more

Been once and food was okay. Need to go back and try a few more things. Argument outside establishment was a bit of a put off. When I was eating someone flipped me off and told me to mind my own fn business. read more

Great Mexican cuisine, waiter that knew about each dish, clean spot. Prices were fair also.

The service was exceptional, awesome Bloody Mary's and the breakfast burrito was scrumptious

Cool venue but food was terrible. I ordered al pastor tacos, there was nothing al pastor about it. I only could eat one of the three it came with. Go elsewhere for food. Stay for the music. read more

Everything about this place is pretty great. Drinks are strong, music is stronger. Food was solid- I highly recommend the chicken quesadilla. Maybe slight knock is that one of the bartenders seemed to be having a bad night and it came through. 100% worth stopping through. Crowd watching was as good as the atmosphere. read more

Great cocktail bar in Pioneer Square! I'm always happy to see great destination bars in Pioneer Square, and this one has amazing cocktails, food, and coffee. Great decor, friendly bartenders, and pretty great food. They have live music and events so I'm excited to come back when those events are happening, but I went on a Sunday for lunch and had a great time! read more

We ordered taco Tuesday tacos - they were so greasy that when you took a bit me of them they just oozed grease and they were so bland. Just all together not good. Chips and salsa - chips tasted store bought and the salsa was weird - sweet and hot like an enchilada sauce almost. Margarita fell into the bland category as well. We didn't finish our food, it just wasn't worth it. Five tacos, chips and salsa and one marg - $45 ouch. read more

Left a Seahawks game early and stopped in here for a coffee! I got an iced latte and I would definitely recommend!

Came here for dinner with the family. Kids must be out by 9:00 pm, but still had a great dinner coming at 8:00. Even though it's mainly a bar and sells food on the side, the food is amazing and some of the best Mexican food in the area. The service wasn't bad for being busy. The restaurant itself was nice with music that was a little loud. But the restaurant as a whole feels cozy and put together. read more

This place is the bar you'd have if you could run a bar. Fantastic cocktails and friendly staff.

Julze is the most amazing server! He made us feel so taken care of and at home. Would highly recommend coming here and meeting Julze!!

I loved the atmosphere here, and it's got a really cute setup. I just wish the drinks were a little more affordable. Paid $26 ($13x2) for a double and they charged $2 extra for the soda mixer they put into my drink. Never seen an additional charge at a bar for the mixer.... not a massive charge but on top of those prices, it's a bit much. read more
