    First time for every pier place bar
    Reba H.

    Great drinks and good music. Such a comfortable place in a great location! I believe they serve food but I haven't tried yet. In the summer this is a great location to grab a nice cocktail and enjoy the sun coming in through the large windows. I will return for drinks with friends in the future!

    This was not really what we expected. It kind of bills itself as a Spanish bar, but isn't particularly Spanish. We came hoping for some authentic Spanish drinks or tapas, but they have very limited food selection for snacks (mostly cheese and cured meats that is not really jamón serrano or ibérico if you're a Spaniard). My partner, who is Spanish, was bummed by the lack of Spanish items on both the cocktail menu and tapas options. We got some manchego that was good and he had a bit of chorizo and then we settled on Estrella galicia because it was the only drink aside from cava that was authentically Spanish. The food was good and the bartenders were fine, but it's not really Spanish. Probably wouldn't come back since it wasn't what we were hoping for with the selection, but is totally fine for a drink and snack in a casual ambiance.

    Interior. Not large 2 tables for 4, for 2 and the bar but a very cool vibe

    Wow! A quaint raucous Spanish bar in seatle. It's a small space with a-small front so you can easily drive by it and not see it. Luckily we decided to park and try to find it and we did. To begin it is small, there are 2 tables for 4, two tables for 2 and the bar that seats 8 maybe 9. But if you are lucky enough to get a seat this place is bursting with atmosphere and fun. The space is small but has very high ceilings so you don't feel squished. It's decorated in acool eclectic way with posters, bottles a disco ball and even a world book encyclopedia. The music is loud and fun and you might hear Dolly Parton followed by canye followed by ...... they keep it dark, turn the music up loud and use the disco ball to throw light around, it's like your fun cousins party. they have Spanish wines, my wife tried A red that was excellent, they also serve Jerez and vermouth and Galician ciders as well as mixed drinks. I had a nice Estrella on tap (only beer on offer but a good one) it was nice and chilled. As to the food none of it is cooked so if you are looking for gambas or patatas bravas you won't find those here. No issue as they have very nice selection of other cold tapas. We had a charcuterie board with 2 types of jamón serrano (excellent), chorizo, manchego and an out of this world goat cheese with a bit of olive oil on it that took it up a notch. We also had the olives the boquerones and the pepper with anchovi. All were quite nice. They also have tins of mejillones, sardines and other Spanish fish. Cudos to them for serving from the tin and not trying to "fool" you. The clientele and the customers are there to have fun and it's just a cool atmosphere. I travel extensively all over the world and this the coolest bar I have been to. 4.5 stars since there are no cooked tapas but the ambiance and cool factor make up for it . Bottom line this is a fun place for drink and a bite. If lived in seatle this would become my go to bar (like norm on cheers)

    I know giving 1 star is brutal but please hear me out. My partner, father and I came in on a sunny afternoon and sat at the table directly to the right after you enter the bar. I was sitting facing towards the bar. The bartender came over and took our drink orders and came back a few minutes later. They proceeded to accidentally drop my glass of cider on the table and all of the liquid spilled all over my lap. They promptly cleaned up the mess and got me a new cider. They also gave me a rag to clean myself up since I was soaked. I was in complete shock. We didn't stay long because I was so uncomfortable. No apology and they did NOT comp my cider. Worst of all, one of my favorite white lace dresses is completely ruined. No dry cleaners can remove the stain. It was a horrible experience and I will never return or recommend this bar. It's unfortunate because I used to love this spot.

    Visited JarrBar on Fii July 8th at around 6:30PM. I've wanted to visit JarrBar for a long time but never got the chance to do so because we live quite far from downtown, so when we finally had a reason to visit the city we were super excited to try it out. Unfortunately, everything from the service to the food was a major disappointment and our visit was very unsatisfactory. The staff (one of the two in particular) were unfriendly, unhelpful, condescending , exuded bad attitude and were just a hair below being what i'd call rude enough for me to walk out. The place was busy but there were a few free tables inside waiting to be cleaned off). There's no signage instructing you to seat your self or wait for a server. We weren't sure to jut go in and grab a table or wait outside so we stodd outside but in full few of the staff, waiting to get a nod or a wave to. come on in or have one of them come out to us. They clearly saw us, looked us straight on, but ignored us completely. Eventually, we had enough and headed on in up to the bar and asked for a table. We were told they'd clean a table off for us and to hang outside for a few mins. It must have taken them about 20mins to get around to that. Again - the place was busy but not unreasonable so.....the staff just didn't seem to care that there were waiting customers. After seating, it took about 20mins to get our order in. Our server passed by us several times with what can only be described as a scowl on her face - no thank you, acknowledgement of our presence, offer of water etc. We asked a couple of questions about some of the menu items but only got condescending mutterings in return. Putting the awful staff aside. The food was a bit letdown, the Jamon in particular. I think the photo says enough, most of it was just little scraps. We ordered some spanish beers, they were warm(ish)....they were also served in 250ml glasses instead of being 330ml bottles - nowhere on the menu did it say these were not full glasses/bottles...it's a minor thing but it should be clearly called out. We won't be back.

    Smoked mussels and cured meats.
    Rod H.

    Loved this place. Great service and great small menu eats. Try the El Cochino cocktail very good especially withe the pepper and chorizo. The charcuterie was bomb. Will return.

    Those clams were so good!

    Hidden Gem! but been coming here for about 4 years now.. so glad it's been able to stay open... This is definitely an experience..the cocktails are executed nicely.. so you should try a few different ones.. and even if you don't like sardines.. you suck and you should just try it cause it's awesome... All the fixings too... Bartender and owner are down to earth.. they play vinyl.. the decor is simple.. it's small so good luck getting a spot.. worth it!.

    We stumbled upon this cute little spot on our walk back to our hotel. The storefront is a typical old seattle storefront, tucked away. It's easy to miss but I'm happy we spotted it. The aesthetic was cozy and hip so we decided to stop in for a drink. The walls were covered in old rococo styled framed mirrors in blue and white. It is a narrow spot with limited seating but it adds to the cool intimate aesthetic. They had some food options (snacks) and they all looked amazing though we didn't order any. The service was great and it felt like a cute little neighborhood hang out spot. We will definitely come back.

    The painters tape held up, btw.

    Sometimes you have to yelp from the rooftops. I walked in for a pre-Beyoncé (pre-yoncé) meats n' cheese extravaganza carrying a hastily made tin foil ruff. It should be mentioned that the album Renaissance was playing when I arrived. That's one of the stars right there. Manager Nicole noticed my creation, asked what it was, and immediately engaged in a structural integrity reinforcement project with me that improved the wearability, comfort, and overall 'je ne sais quoi' (aka Big Ruff Energy) of the piece. That's 2.7 of the stars, obvi. Then she poured me a vermouth and soda that quenched my thirst-trap vibes. That's .8 stars. Then she and her floor lead proceeded to make my wife and I a set of cocktails and charcuterie platter bits that set the tone for the full-on disco-ball-tassel-parade that is walking towards a Beyoncé show. That's the remaining available 1.5 stars, but tbh could be more if yelp would even allow it. Let's infer an addition two stars for the above and beyondness, quality chow and vibey vibes of JarrBar on Thursday night, September 14th. Thanks dudes.

    This is an intimate place with not a ton of seating. It's not a big place and is also very unassuming which took us a bit of effort to find. It's directly across the street from Seattle Beer Co. if you can't find it. They have happy hour 4-6pm and 10pm-2am and all day Sunday. Their happy hour menu isn't extensive but they do have some options for light snacks and shareables. I ordered the rum old fashioned ($11) which was okay. It was in a very tiny glass which was interesting. We then ordered and shared the daily cocktail ($7) which I wasn't sure what was in it but I enjoyed it. They make their own cured meats and seafood which is awesome. I will have to come back during their happy hour to try some of them out!

    Sardines and mackerel with chips and cocktails
    Ashley K.

    I'd been watching to check our JarrBar for quite some time, but I'll admit... walking home from work alone, passing by this cozy, raucous and lively bar, I was too intimidated to grab a seat alone. But some friends joined me recently, and I think we're all decidedly going back again soon. I'd recently visited Portugal so I was excited to try the sardines and other items reminiscent of my time there, and it didn't disappoint. The only thing that would make it better: Portugese beer. Get some Super Bock on the menu, please!! Please?? I can't find it in Seattle :( You're my last hope, JarrBar. We had sardines, mackerel, chips, crackers, Spanish beer and some sherry to finish off the meal. Their cocktails were ok, but tasted a little weak. I'd open again for a nice light beer and oily fish again any day of the week.

The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.
