    Friends go here all the time. This was my first time and it was epic. It's intimate, quiet and a wonderful place to spend time 1:1 or with a few friends. It's not stressful and the appointments ensure you have space for your enjoyment. The bar masters are experts. They make amazing drinks. The creativity of the menu and the staff is worth a stop. The list of cocktail options is rich and the stocked list of liquor is longer. The blow your mind moment is the pricing relative to most other boutique cocktail lounges or a place like Cannon that seems to just look to drain your bank account. Great place to check out and keep coming back.

    My friend got a reservation here as a little surprise for my weekend in Seattle and it sure didn't disappoint. We arrived 10 minutes early and had to wait for our seats to be ready as the other party was still there. It's quite small on the inside, and I think it only seats maybe 16 people at max? Either way, we had a great time. You get a small cup of champagne while you wait/once you are seated. We each tried two drinks, and honestly everything was great. My favorite was the tart au citron-- it was sweet and tart and a perfect cocktail! My friend really loved the espresso martini-- I had a sip and it's probably one of the best in the city. Definitely worth a try and will be what we get again next time we come again!

    The good doctor knows how to concoct the best potions. The Doctor's Office was everything my partner and I needed after our eventful trip in Seattle. Subtle, vibey, and as advertised, a hard to find speakeasy. We passed by it once and didn't realize because the door was so inconspicuous. But when you're inside, you know you're in the right place. Josh, the doctor for the day, has everything covered and is able to recommend the best things on the menu including his own cocktail "Long Story Short". Unlike the robotic service we were getting everywhere else, Josh is a doctor of both the mind and the body. He's a great conversationalist and a master of good hospitality. The cocktails spoke for themselves with our favorite of the night being the Beachcomber Paloma (a lusciously creamy yet refreshingly fruity cocktail) followed closely by the Long Story Short and the Jiminy Cricket. If you need a cocktail that's strong on the alcohol, the Jiminy Cricket will hit you like a truck and leave you slurring your words for the rest of the night while still being a tasty cocktail. The classic Negroni and Marants Fizz were also had for the night and were well executed. To absorb the alcohol, we got ourselves some olives and almonds (much needed salt!). Don't walk, run to the Doctor's Office. Get your fix of the medicine you need and stumble down the hill to your downtown Seattle hotel.

    The Doctor's Office in Seattle's Capitol Hill is a tiny, reservation-only bar with just 12 seats and a reputation for delivering one of the city's most refined cocktail experiences. Founded by Dr. Matthew Powell--an actual physician--the bar features a meticulously curated global spirits collection served by the ounce or flight, along with classic, contemporary, and bespoke cocktails. Powell's scientific approach even includes listing alcohol content by grams on the menu. The bar's origin story is as dramatic as its drinks. Powell opened The Doctor's Office while recovering from a severe foot injury sustained in a rooftop fall, all while working grueling hours on COVID wards. Despite financial hardship, he poured everything into the bar, which is now nationally recognized and known for its philanthropic efforts - including selling $500 shots of Pappy Van Winkle and offering Pap Smirs (a Pappy boilermaker with a Smirnoff Ice) to benefit Planned Parenthood. The space itself is cozy and elegant, with a marble bar, plush seating, and a quirky polka-dot bathroom featuring a high-tech Japanese toilet. The experience feels personal, indulgent, and worth every penny. Cheers.

    This was the worst bar that my friends and I went to during our Seattle trip. We had a group of six but they only take reservations for parties of 1 to 5 so we decided to make two separate reservations for 2 and 4 that were 15 minutes apart. When we arrived, they seated four of us first in the corner but wanted my boyfriend and I to come back when it was closer to our reservation time. This did not really make any sense to us since there were only two couples seated at the bar so there were empty seats at the bar as well as another empty table for two in the corner that just needed to be cleaned up. Also, there was enough space for all six of us to sit together in the corner table. They eventually reluctantly let us all sit together but I'm not sure why that would be a big deal if we all fit in one table as that would save them space for other customers. I understand that the space is small but it was not even crowded. For drinks, all six of us hated our drinks. Most of the cocktails tasted like straight up alcohol. It took us the full hour to finish one drink per person. I guess they are very strict about the one hour reservation because they basically kicked us out at the end saying that our reservation was up. We all thought that was lowkey rude. Other places do a much classier job by asking if you would like to order anything else before your appointment ends. I would also like to note that not a single person came into the bar during the time we were there so it's not like they were busy either. I'm not sure why they have so many great reviews but we all thought the service was rude and the drinks were bad. There are so many other great bars around the area. I wouldn't recommend anyone to come here.

    I was visiting Seattle for the first time and decided to check out this speakeasy vibe cocktail bar. I made a same day reservation and found out it's small inside but also a timed experience. You get a warm towel and glass of sparking wine to start. They have QR code for menu which has many liquor forward beverages. It was hard to pick but I love the presentation of all the drinks I had. You do pay a deposit that is taken off from your total. I only got one drink which was great and the deposit covered the drink plus tip for $25. So definitely on the pricier side of cocktails ranging from $19-$25. I love the bathroom so many polka dots and they use the hand towels as well.

    A small lowkey speakeasy in cap hill. It's kind of hard to find since the windows are boarded up from the outside. On the inside, it's definitely a vibe. There's a counter with just a few seats. Definitely make a reservation here since they're usually booked out. The drinks are great too. Most of them are premade though, so you won't be able to make any alterations to them. Bartenders here are friendly and make for good conversation!

    This place is a straight-up cocktail flex. The bartenders are insanely knowledgeable and somehow manage to be both precise and fun about it. Every drink is thoughtfully crafted and tastes like nothing you've had anywhere else - no gimmicks, just excellence. The spirit selection is elite and constantly evolving, which makes every visit exciting. Mezcal lovers, this is your spot! Rare bottles, handled with care, that you won't easily find elsewhere. Trust the bartender, order boldly, and accept that this bar will reset your standards... and be addicted - responsibly!!

    This was the coolest cocktail bar I've ever been too! There are about 10 seats in the entire place, giving it a very intimate feel, especially with the dimmed lights at night. There were a ton of cool cocktail options on the menu, with a pretty extensive liquor list as well. The only downside is it is limited to an hour so you do have to kind of pick up the pace if you want two cocktails, or just drink one slowly over the course of an hour.

    yooooo, you need to check out this bar if you want a good time. We came here during vacation on a Wednesday night and this was one of our favourite experiences in the city! Peter was our bartender and brings the type of energy we love in a bar. This is a great place for people who appreciate a good cocktail and want an intimate setting, but are also open to great banter with a bartender who's also having a good time themselves! Drinks: this is the first bar we've been to that is on tock. We were like "whattttttt? Whyyyyy? That's only for expensive restaurants but whatever, we're on vacation. Let's give it a try" It is $25 pp reservation but that gets deducted from your total bill. The menu was huge and felt really unique with all the descriptions. We had a fun time picking out drinks. We got the Manhanttan, Vesper, Spanish Coffee, bartender's choice, a flight of 4 glasses of Cognac, and a flight of 3 glasses of Mezcal. They were all made so well! My husband particularly liked the flights. He really appreciated how he could try different spirits in one setting, and how Peter was so knowledgeable about all of them and had fun creating these flights. Service: it was great!!!! It's the type of place where the bartender gives people space but also welcomes good conversation. We felt that Peter went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had a good time. To put into context, we werent going to drink that much on a Wednesday night, but it was just too fun. Atmosphere: very chill and vibey! The outside looks spooky but then you go through the doors, and you see how super cute it is! The bar has 6 seats, a small table for two and then a cute corner couch. WOULD I COME HERE AGAIN?! Yes!!! This is a fun place for people who really appreciate a GOOD cocktail and want to be in an intimate setting.

    Excellent drinks

    Second round and same result : great cocktails and service. One of the top bars for a reason.

    Very intimate and small space with interestingly artistic interior that creates a unique vibe. Drink options are unique, they are all well crafted by Peter, our super friendly and attentive bartender. The bathroom is pretty cool too. Noise level is very quiet, so it's a great place to have deeper and more meaningful conversations. However because of how quiet it is, almost anything you talk about will easily be overhead by the bartender and other patrons in the space, so be a bit careful if the conversation gets cringy or too personal, because they are exposed haha. Overall, had a great experience here, would totally recommend.

    Ordered two drinks, it was an okay spot, definitely better places in Seattle you don't need this whole process of a reservation for.

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.

You enter through a vault door in the back of Tavern Law by picking up an antique telephone. Cool right?! Yep. Once they let you in, off you go up the stairs. We were greeted and directed to our table. Because they don't have menus, your bartender will get to know you a bit. Think moods, taste buds, flavors you love - any insights you can offer will benefit you and your beverage. It's quite engaging and interactive. They jot down your order on a coaster which then becomes a keepsake that you can take with you. I thought it was a really nice touch. Very ideal for a scrapbook/journaling person (read: me). I went with my usual everyday state of being - READING! Make me a drink with dark academia, literature, the library, bookstores, coffee, cafes, etc etc. in mind. My drinks were very me! Both beverages were refreshing, tasty, and coffee-forward. The service was phenomenal and attentive. The energy of Needle and Thread is quirky with a variety of seating arrangements, antique furniture, and warmth. Vibey, if you will. They serve food as well, but we didn't eat. Make a reservation and indulge in this experience! Enjoy your bespoke cocktail! Also, highly recommend checking out their website to learn more about the speakeasy and FAQ's. Oh! They also check in to see if you have any allergies. 10/10!

They also have an impressive selection of spirits, including baijiu, which was a surprise. I've only seen it once at a Chinese restaurant. Both cocktails were fantastic and tailored exactly to what I was looking for. I also ordered the popcorn chicken, which was incredibly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
