    My FAVORITE speakeasy in Seattle. The fact that they have no cocktail menu and that they're making a new one just for you on the spot every time shows how skilled the bartenders are. You need to get really specific in what you like in a drink, and when you do, you get some of the best drinks you've ever tasted in your life (not exaggerating...it's literally created for your tastebuds!). If you don't like your drink here that's honestly a skill diff because you probably didn't give enough specifics for the bartender to create your perfect drink LOL

    Loved my speciality drink with Ginger. Service was great and girls did an excellent job listening to what we like and adding their own little twist. Speakeasy bar was above the tavern law bar. You call through old phone and say password and go up flight of stairs to get to room. Happy we got to experience our first one here.

    Absolutely fun spot if you feel like going on an adventure. I was initially at Tavern Law just downstairs then was told there was space available upstairs for us if we were interested in checking it out. Upon arrival, we got seated immediately and asked of our preferences for a drink. Despite me giving a quite abstract preference they nailed the drinks of my dreams. I wanted something spicy, clean and unexpected and absolutely loved my cocktail. The presentation is also very good with ample fresh flowers and unique compositions. Would definitely come back anytime.

    Drinks made after answering a few questions! Both were delicious and definitely exceeded our expectations!

    We were able to snag an hour reservation in the middle of the week and had a great time. This speakeasy located in Tavern Law was super cozy and cute, and definitely requires a reservation because of how limited space is. I believe it was $20 for the two of us to reserve an hour, which was subtracted from our bill at the end. Someone came by fairly quickly after we sat down and asked us a few questions-- mainly what type of liquor we enjoyed, flavors we typically like, and others questions to help the bartenders/mixologist come up something special for each of us. Hard to explain, but the concept is great and they hit the mark for both of us. The drinks are a little pricey ($25 per drink) but I would say it's worth it to experience it at least once, and certainly a fun date night spot.

    Fantastic night of crafted cocktails and small eats. The premise for this speakeasy is that they don't have a cocktail list, but create the perfect cocktails to your favorite tastes and spirits. I have to say that my cocktails were probably the best I've tasted! Perfection is what the bartenders are shooting for and they hit the mark with unique and creative use of the drink spectrum. I highly recommend and get your reservation in to enjoy a fabulous cocktail.

    As a self-appointed connoisseur of speakeasies (a title I awarded myself after extensive "research") Needle and Thread sits comfortably at the top of my list. While reservations aren't technically required, let me save you some heartbreak, make one. They only open reservations six days in advance, and this place fills up faster than brunch spots when the sun comes out in Seattle. Totally worth the planning. The experience starts downstairs at Tavern Law restaurant, where you let the host know you're headed to Needle and Thread. From there, you're directed to a mysterious locked door next to a telephone. Yes, an actual phone. Pick it up, give your reservation name once someone answers, and bam! You're buzzed upstairs like you've just passed a very classy secret test. Once inside, you're greeted and escorted to your seat, and the magic really begins. There's no drink menu because why limit creativity? Instead, the staff plays cocktail therapist, asking about your favorite spirits, flavors, and moods. Based on your answers, they craft a completely custom drink tailored to your palate. Every cocktail we tried was spot-on. Balanced, intentional, and clearly made by people who treat mixology like an art form rather than a guessing game. Bonus points: You can request the coaster they took your order on, which lists the ingredients so you can attempt to recreate it at home (results may vary depending on your confidence and liquor cabinet.) Not to be overshadowed by the drinks, the Sockeye Salmon Crostini was a fantastic fresh, flavorful appetizer and the perfect companion to a night of bespoke cocktails. They have other heartier food as well, but we had dinner reservations elsewhere for the evening. Between the immersive entrance, outstanding service, thoughtful drinks, and authentic speakeasy atmosphere, this isn't just a bar, it's an experience. If you're in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Needle and Thread is a must try.

    Had a Saturday evening reservation. We arrived about 10 minutes early and had to wait until exactly the reservation time. Went through the telephone door and was sat immediately. The place looked like a small house / attic - which was nice and intimate. They don't have a set cocktail menu - you describe what you want or enjoy, and they'll craft something based on this. Service was spot on in helping guide us through what we may want. Had a rum old fashioned type drink and an herbal sweet drink with vodka as well. Both were well made. I think the concept is good for those that are feeling a bit of whimsical, at the same time - some set cocktails may be helpful to guide those who don't really know what they're feeling for.

    We had the best of intentions to walk to Needle & Thread, but halfway there we called a car. (It was raining. And uphill.) Needle & Thread, tucked above Tavern Law in Seattle's Capitol Hill, is a reservation-only speakeasy that offers a truly bespoke cocktail experience. A vintage phone at the back of the bar unlocks a hidden staircase leading to an intimate parlor filled with velvet chairs, antique decor, and vintage typewriters. Once seated, guests share their flavor preferences with expert bartenders who craft personalized drinks using fresh ingredients and top-shelf spirits. Whether you're craving something fruity, spicy, or bold, the result is creative and delicious. You'll never believe this, but my flavor explanation materialized into an elevated old fashioned. Cheers.

    Overall: S // 7 stars Phenomenal speakeasy located in a vibrant district of Seattle! Everything about this experience was outstanding, from the cute telephone hidden entrance, to the throne-like seating of every single table, to the very well prompted questioning to concoct the perfect drink, to the stunning craftsmanship of the actual drink itself. I cannot recommend this place enough, definitely visit if you're ever in Seattle. (Japanese-Inspired: A+) - Opted for an Asian-forward drink for round one, which centered around genmaicha, shochu, and nori. This simple yet elegant drink gives a sake-forward smoothness and a mildly umami seaweed background. Excellent blend for those who like alcohol-subtle cocktails without sweetness or acidity. (Performative Era: S) - Round two hit the home run for me as this is exactly my type of drink; we went for floral, fruity, and performative here -- with featured a torched lime, not only for show, but adding a smoked citrus note. The blue curacao combined with the flame gives a novel showstopping look beyond the commonplace hibiscus or butterfly pea flower, which I was particularly impressed by. Absolutely phenomenal.

    You can't make reservations at their parent main bar, Tavern Law but you can and must make one for their upstairs speakeasy Needle and thread (spots open 6 days prior). It's an intimate dim lit upstairs area with bar, high tops, and lounge seats. There are stairs to the entrance and within the bar area and there are restrooms too. The bar staff take time to understand what you want and ask questions to get more clarity. They encourage you to provide more details about the mood (eg. Light refreshing sipper for a beach afternoon) or the liquors or flavors or techniques. I asked for something with green chartreuse and saffron and my partner asked for a new novelty liquor. She made us two super fabulous drinks. They also have some light finger food - We had the cauliflower bites. Then we headed downstairs and had a night cap at TL. Overall, a really nice experience.

    Burrata and Focaccia

    Secret spot with specialty, one of a kind, no menu personalized cocktails that hit the spot! What an experience. Right from the entry experience at this speakeasy, the tone was set. Special, tucked away, and beautiful, you are transported to another place and time - with wait and bar staff that are friendly and knowledgable, it was a night I won't soon forget. And the food!! Simple and delicious - I am still swooning over the burrata dish. Go! Make a resy for a special night out and you won't regret it.

    Made our reservation one week in advance for a Saturday night. The vibes were eclectic, the staff was super friendly and we thought the concept was really cool. Pricing was 23 for a cocktail. My husband loved his. Woody, rosemary, scotch. Mine was just okay, they missed the mark a little despite giving all my likes and dislikes. It was essentially a lemon gin and tonic. But a little too strong on the lemon that it was almost like lemon Lysol cleaner. The pour was strong, neither of us elected for a second drink. Based on the concept of the bartenders creating something special for you based off of your likes and "vibes" we'd be back to try again.

    Oh baby. Cocktail heaven. Came here on a whim/random sunday night to try to see if we can slip in and got lucky. There's no drink menu here. The staff here are all a vibe. Very chill spot but also if you're hungry you can get a bite which does have a menu. Just like you'd find at a top cocktail bar in Tokyo you just tell the server/bartender what you're feeling, and they'll whip up something for u. I went for a whisky based drink that was spicy and smokey BUT smooth. Sounds like a hard combo right? Well they knocked this out the park like Guy Fieri would say. The drink was exactly what I wanted, so I was pretty blown away w what they threw together. The bread pudding itself was a nice little changeup too. If I could slip in here every visit I would. Some very adventurous, delicious, fun drinks can be found here. Definitely worth a stop. Check this place out.

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.
