    The Billie Holiday
    Jamie L.

    Fun!!! Love it. I've been here a few times and always enjoy the lovely craft cocktails. Great for pre-funking concerts and art district events. I had the Seasonal Billie Holiday and Sgt. Pepper drinks this evening. Delish. Try the Rita flatbread appetizer. Great Happy Hour Specials and kind, friendly bartenders, and fabulous ambience. Give it a try!

    Went last night for a couple of drinks. Loved the ambiance and the food. The whiskey sour was seriously one of the best I've had. New to the area, will definitely be coming back!

    The decor is expensive, either you love it or don't care. But it does have some cool features, like stars that shine thru the floor, 3 d photo artwork, bubble chandler . The happy hour is really cheap but they have an amazing selection of liquor that you don't normally see. Beer selection is special too. The thing that made it special are the bartenders that make drinks that taste amazing that you never seem before. Don't know if they will be there when you visit so good luck.

    A well-decorated and quiet bar located at the Hotel Ruby in downtown Spokane. Drinks are yummy and the bar tenders are open to suggestions and will remake drinks that aren't quite right. I don't come here seeking food, but if I get the buzzed munchies, any of the flatbreads hit the spot for me. Sometimes the owner comes in for a drink. He cares about his business and enjoys checking up on the place. No real complaints here. I like that I can come in with a small party and sit comfortably. The bar is not rowdy and the patrons are quiet. Overall the low-key atmosphere that I enjoy.

    Nice cozy lounge. We were staying at Ruby Hotel. Had drinks. Friendly and fast bartender. Good place to go in between exploring downtown nite life.

    A bite to eat and a Manhattan before a concert right around the corner at the Bing! The meatballs were really yummy - not something I would normally order but my friend recommended them and I will definitely order again. My Manhattan was heavenly - an exquisite presentation!

The whole atmosphere is dark, cozy, moody, and feels more like a hidden lounge than a typical downtown bar. Between the lighting, music, books, and dramatic cocktail menus, the vibe alone makes the place worth visiting. We tried the espresso martini, Painkiller, and Bloody Verde. The espresso martini was smooth and easy to drink without being overly sweet, and the Painkiller had that creamy tropical flavor that somehow still worked with the darker speakeasy atmosphere. Keeping it honest though, the Bloody Verde just wasn't for me personally. I can still appreciate the creativity behind it, but the flavor combo just didn't match my taste buds. That being said, if you like savory spicy cocktails, you'd probably feel very differently about it. Service was friendly, drinks came out looking great, and the music really tied the whole experience together. Definitely feels like one of Spokane's more unique cocktail spots if you want something moodier and more relaxed.

Most recently, on a Friday evening around 7 PM, my party was seated near the end of the bar by the restroom area. A server approached me in a confrontational manner and told me to move my chair because it was blocking the walkway. I immediately complied and moved it where he directed. Despite that, he repeatedly pushed and squeezed past the chair in an aggressive way several times afterward and then returned to confront me about it again. The interaction felt hostile, unnecessary, and unprofessional. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated incident. On a previous visit, a female server was rude and controlling toward our table, and on another occasion when we were unhappy with a menu item, the response was essentially, "You ordered it, you pay for it," with no attempt to address the concern professionally. The atmosphere is great, which is why we've continued to come back. However, after several visits involving rude and confrontational interactions with staff, it feels more like an ongoing culture issue than a one-time bad experience. I don't expect special treatment, but I do expect basic courtesy and respect. Hopefully management takes these concerns seriously and works to improve the customer experience.

It smelled amazing when we first walked in and we were immediately greeted and seated. Service was amazing! It was fast and efficient and our waitress made the process smooth and fast. We got two apps, the flatbread and the loaded deviled eggs. The devil eggs were creamy topped with smoky bacon and a pungent parm crisp. It was lovely! The filling was smooth and the smokiness of the bacon cut the richness of the filling. The parm added a wonderfully taste as well as added a interesting texture. The star of the apps was definitely the flatbread though. It was a soft bread with a sweetness chili based topped with bacon, peppers, and onions! It was delicious! The sweetness paired with the bacon was brilliant! I got the shrimp pasta! The sauce was beautiful and the shrimp were juicy and cooked perfectly. The wine was cooked off wonderfully leaving just a hint of flavor with none of the bitterness. The burger was juicy and the cheese was wonderfully meaty. The bun was fresh and bouncy. The veg were fresh and while we weren't ask how we wanted the meat cooked (my sister is very picky) it was cooked to her liking. The least strongest dish was the schnitzel. The meat was crispy, but honestly lacked flavor. The potatoes were also mashed with chucks which I just don't prefer and it also has skin still so...
