    a man and woman at a bar

    How fun! We found the vault. It was definitely a nice intimate setting. I will say the music was a little too loud for my liking. I especially liked the homage paid to the seattle underground by the details in the ceiling. It was a great end to a date night. We got one drink and left.

    My friend and I are collecting stamps for the Mcmenamins passport. We always enjoy the hunt for hidden rooms and this one did not disappoint. I did not get a drink but the place was packed. Cute, small hangout.

    Saturday night, exploring a McMenamins in Tacoma when we overheard talk of this allusive speakeasy. We were able to find the two super secret entrances to this place and were immediately raving about the small space. It was cold though (I was in a summery dress, go figure) Drinks were STRONG. But delicious. Pricy, but worth it. We took our drinks from this bar and wandered around the hotel exploring. Loved it so much.

    An interesting little spot, tucked away in a "secret" place within the building. The single person bar & small space that we found empty when we visited, so we were quickly served & were able to just hang out. We didn't stay long due to the big temperature of the room and overall dullness Overall I found it to be a small place where the vibe drives the mood. Expensive drinks overall for the building. It'd be fun to explore each of the bars and find a niche for yourself.

    Very excited to find this secret bar! I loved the hidden door. I have always wanted to check this place and happy I finally got the chance! I love the vibe and decor. The secret door is probably my favorite thing can't wait to go back with my sister.

    Loved the adventure of finding the place. The bartender was top tier and made us drinks off a past menu when describing what kind of drinks we liked. There isn't a ton of seating in there but it makes it intimate. Don't bring your large friend group in here, because you will disturb the vibe and crowd people.

    Very good but limited Polish food selections in a nice atmosphere with great service. Great to patronize a new business.

    It's a nice place to relax but can get very busy as These hidden bars are often quite popular with McMenamins customers.

Seating is limited, but the bar is fully stocked! We ordered the chicken caesar salad and the Lil Saigon Sliders. The salad was fresh and crunchy, chicken well seasoned and tender, and the caesar dressing was BOMB! But those sliders..... WOW. The sliders bring everything you love about a banh mi to a mini slider that is the perfect snack size (although, they were so good we ended up ordering another) Our waitress was super kind and helpful with ordering, even suggesting a cocktail that was delicious. I can't stop thinking about how surprisingly good everything was and I cannot wait to come back for more!

The waitress even mentioned it was hot in this room and when we commented on it she just said yeah it sucks. I have Celiac so this is not a dietary choice, it's a medical restriction. I asked about gluten free options and she said nothing is gluten free (even though the website says it gluten free options available). She then said the best option for me would be the mushrooms or the wings because they are lightly breaded and she is gluten free and does well with those. We paid for our drinks and left. I won't be coming back and it's not because of the menu.

Definitely speakeasy with a little nautical vibe. Super cute! Service is solid. No issues there. We just got some lite bites to share but it was all tasty. My manhattan seemed watered down. I got the negroni which was much better.

We dialed in so that the hidden door could be opened and let us pass. This a great looking place hidden away in Stadium. The drinks menu is extensive and the galley menu looks great. Our party of three was seated at a two-top but that may have been because we accidentally made reservations for two and then emailed about a change. We ordered two Viking Fogcutters and a Miskatonic Mistake for drinking along with some focaccia and deviled eggs for munching. That pretty much fills the entire table. The drinks were great! The bread and eggs were very tasty. The focaccia was super fluffy and warm. We added three salmon chowders to eat after devouring the eggs and focaccia. The three large bowls barely fit on the table but we made it work. The chowder and biscuits were awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful (certainly not part of the Esoteric Order of Dagon).

We weren't expecting too much due to its location (off a busy street with strip mall vibes) but it's such a gem inside! You walk in and it's a normal quick service restaurant... But then once you tell them you're there for the bar or to sit down and eat they let you in through a little magical side door (think speakeasy ish). It's so cute and decorated with vintage and classic tiki items. They know what they're doing when it comes to true tiki culture. The bar is stocked with all the best rums (Appleton Estate, Planteray etc) and other libations. They have fun non-alchocholic options, too! The bartender was so nice and friendly and welcoming. We got the zombie (with alcohol) and the Cinderella which is non-alchoholic. Both were delicious and really took us on an escapism getaway to paradise. They do have food however as vegetarians our options were limited. They have fries and veggie Lumpia, beyond that it's all meat. If that's your thing they do offer little meat samples when you sit down. Cannot wait to go back and try more drinks... and would love to try dinner if they expand their vegetarian/vegan options.

Told us to go to the front to get them, then was told they have the at the bar. Came back with the owner, then provided menu with bartender which was rude and stuck up. As a retired marine and working in the food industry, this disrespect and attitude to anyone is unacceptable. Nobody wants to deal with problems when paying for meals or sitting at a bar. We were ignored, treated rudely and given the run around to get a menu while everyone else had them and the bar itself did also to create issues.
