Alcove for seating
Diana C.

The drinks were fine and well made. The ambiance was... kinda weird. There were two other groups in the whole place when we showed up and one left pretty quick and the other group seemed to just be sleeping or hanging out on the couch. They eventually left too. As a vibe, that's not what I'd necessarily expect for a bar, but it was too chill. Dead really. The decor was cool but the whole place smelled like weed. The bar tender seemed to be going back and forth between the back a lot, which was fine because there was arguably nothing for them to do, but it felt a little like we had some well-mad drinks in a friend's basement and they left. For the price and the vibe, we probably wouldn't come back but it seems like a chill place if you're in the area or if you don't want all the hustle and noise of the billiards bar upstairs.

3.5 stars The Pharmacy is a lounge located downstairs from inside Temple Billiards. There are a variety of couches of different shapes and styles making the room a little eclectic. I came in on a Thursday and it was pretty much empty. My first drink was the last word ($13) which was a delicious classic drink that I haven't had in a while. My second drink was the royal bermuda yacht club ($13) which was just okay. I watched the bartender make this drink comparing it to the ingredients listed on the menu and some were different for some reason? Not sure why. The bartender mentioned that he's usually the only one working most of the time, maybe two if there's a big event. He said that means if it gets busy all of a sudden, it might take some time before people get their drinks so just beware of that. I also thought it was a bit weird and shady that the menu didn't have the prices of the cocktails listed. Other than that, it's a nice lounge with a chill vibe.

We played pool at Temple upstairs last night and didn't realize that The Pharmacy was a separate bar. It was very empty throughout the night, guess it's not a popular or well-known bar. Quirky and chill spot with lots of lounge seating. I ordered two drinks and they were underwhelming. Way too sweet and tasted way too artificial which was disappointing. Nothing special to note about the service. The bartender was fine, just asked what we wanted.

Low key speakeasy underneath a pool hall. Space is cozy with little nooks for privacy. Cocktails are cute and refreshing. We got: - Grave flower: very sour - Paloma sour: very unique and candy like flavor

This bar is nothing special, and we discovered it accidentally while visiting the Temple Billiards place upstairs. We got a few beers and cocktails, but they were whatever. I recommend only ordering beer, as the cocktails were too sugary. No one was here, but I'm not surprised because this place was not the cleanest. Also, the server at the bar was not there many times, resulting in us having to wait to order drinks. If you have to wait for a pool table from Temple Billiards, this is a decent place to stay, but I would never go to this place for another reason.

Hmm i went in on a saturday night around 9 pm and it was dead empty. Lol there were people coming in and go but this place never gets crowded. I guess if you like the chill vibe where you can talk to people without having to yell at each other and wait forever for drinks, this is the place for you! Drink price is a bit high imo, anywhere from 15-20 ish. I got the aviator? Which the bartender said it was the sweetest drink. It was aight. They have a different pub upstairs with pool tables so i guess if you want more interactive activities after getting some drinks i guess you could do that. Strongly recommend uber since it's located in downtown. It's not really a speakeasy bar since you just go downstairs!

A basement speakeasy...the alluring back door actually has a sign that directs you to enter through the pool bar. Down the stairs you find a dark colorfully lit basement lounge full of 70s dated furniture. A counter is off to one side where you can order your choice potion. The selections are many, all of them tasty and the menu booklet is well organized. What will it be?

Cut and chill little basement speakeasy in Pioneer Square. Stopped by on here on the way to the Mariners game to pregame and we loved it. It also helped that we won the game haha

What IS this place?!? After a Mariners game, the SO and I were thirsty and found the Pharmacy via a small sandwich board on the sidewalk. With some help from yelpers we managed to find it in the basement of a billiards bar. That's only where the weird starts. We walked in and it was empty. Just the two of us and two very bored bartenders. Luckily that meant that they were a captive audience and willing to chat about cocktails. For as bizarre of a location as it is, their cocktail list is rather impressive, including some rather uncommon liquers and bitters which jazz up some classics. As the night progressed more folks stumbled in, the lines to get more cocktails became unacceptably long, and we decided to grab the check and head home.

So cool! Stumbled upon this basement cocktail bar after a Mariner's game when we were waiting out traffic before heading home. There is a separate outdoor entrance you can take to get in, but it wasn't open. You have to enter through Temple bar and then go down the stairs to the basement. It was a little stuffy and congested in there (maybe because it's a basement?) but the vibe and drinks were awesome! Cocktails were creative and couches were comfy. They had the mariners game on so it would be a cool place to chill if you wanted to find a bar to watch the game.

Strong drinks, quirky decor, and just an overall chill place! I stumbled upon the Pharmacy while dining out in Pioneer Square. This place is so unassuming, and actually is accessible though the Billiards bar in Occidental Square. Don't be discouraged by it's weird location, you will not be disappointed. Their decor is very quirky, a little vintage, and a whole lot of funky. Sprinkled with neon signs. It always feels like a very relaxed environment. The drinks take some time to come out when it's busy, but they are really doing their best back there in their small space and loads of spirits to store. Their menu is extensive and is organized by spirits, and some house favorites. My go-to is the Corpse Reviver, which is what I get when I don't know what to get because of all the options! You cannot go wrong with any drink really, and we closed the place down twice, so safe to say it's very inviting and relaxed environment. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

Painkiller $13
Dianna N.

Chill spot for drinks with comfy seating. Menu is extensive, so everyone should be able to find something. I've come twice and each time I didn't like my drink that much. Good enough to finish, but not to order again. My drink last time was the Painkiller. I also tasted the other drinks I have pictured, but those don't hit the spot for me either. Photo Mentions: - Painkiller $13 - Neptune's Blanket $13 - Blood and Sand $13 - Raines Law Room's Wildest Redhead $14 ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here.

The whole space has this intimate, luxurious atmosphere that makes the experience feel special the moment you walk in. We tried the Japanese Breakfast, which is a savory cocktail and such a pleasant surprise. It genuinely has miso soup notes. It's very unique and creative. I also had El Boho (flavorful but not overly sweet). The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending drinks. The prices are on the higher end, but personally I think they're totally worth it for the creativity and overall experience. This is the spot I bring all my out-of-town friends to because the ambiance, vibes, and drinks are just that good. Truly one of Seattle's gems.

For one, the bar service was mediocre for my $26 cocktail. I get more conversation from the bartenders at the Red Onion.... And because they bartender wasn't paying attention, he forgot to put our food order in....probably didn't need it anyway, I need to diet. And then we get the check and they automatically add 22%...if you are a quality establishment offering exceptional customer service, you don't need to tell me what to tip...guess you are not. And they they have the nerve to ask me if I want to tip another 18%, 20%, or 25% when I sign the check on their Toast device... I'll go out for a quality cocktail experience at Needle & Thread, The Doctor's Office, or maybe the Red Onion, lol. But I won't be coming back here ever again.

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!

Roquette was a surprisingly small space with a wonderful vibe serving up "destination" bar-worthy cocktails. It reminded me of some of the neighborhood gem cocktail bars that I'd frequented on the East Coast. I grabbed a seat at the bar. Roquette's lineup of cocktails were varied in flavor profile using a wide range of spirits. They also served non-alcoholic offerings which looked equally intriguing as their boozy selections. I started off with the 99 Problems ($28), which, unfortunately, I forgot to note what was in the drink. It was boozy, clever, inventive, and most importantly delicious. My second drink was the Imperium Old Fashioned ($24) made with Westland Whiskey "Roquette" Barrel, Clement Cask Strength Rhum, Old Delicious Apple Brandy, Pineapple, and Spice. It was an excellent, boozy, balanced update to the classic Old Fashioned. Although I went with drinks off their menu, I have no doubt that any of their skilled bar professionals could've crafted me a wonderful cocktail if I had simply requested a classic or something on the fly based on my choice of spirit and desired flavor profile. Yes, the prices on the two drinks I ordered were pretty steep, but they were comparable to prices I've paid in Las Vegas. Plus, I don't have a problem with paying a premium for a well-made cocktail made with premium ingredients in a comfortable, welcoming setting (the drunken guy next to me who tried to engage with me in a political discussion excluded). Bottom-line: Roquette was a revelation. It served up two of the best cocktails that I've had this year. I can't recommend it enough and it'll be at the top of my list of places to hit the next time I'm in town.
