Lovely spot for a snack and afternoon drinks!! We popped by here because we weren't sure hungry and in the area. Got a table for 2 around 5pm with no issue. We got some ciders to drink and shared their cheesy bread which I know is so simple but was divine. And then of course the cider was enough and they had this delicious deep eddy ruby red vodka drink which was so refreshing. All of the staff were incredibly kind. Great casual spot!!

Came here for a late night pizza craving. I tried the meatballs and pepperoni pizza with mushrooms. Meatballs weren't all that good to me, kind of bland, but the pizza was delicious. The ambiance is more like a dive bar/restaurant. The bartender who helped me was very nice and helped me with my order. Overall positive experience.

We only got to have drinks but the pizza looked soooo good! If we hadn't of had dinner plans with family we would of been ordering it! As such, we had to be content with drinks. I had a hot buttered rum which not many places have and it was good. Tasted like a a butterscotch candy. The other drink, a hot toddy, was ok, it was strong! Will put hair on your chest. Lol Ambiance is cool. Has a great laid back feel. I got a kick out of them using big olive cans as the pizza stand at the tables

I've been here 2 times in two different years and it's been A1 both times. They have amazing pizza and it's what they're known for. But they really excel in other foods without really being recognized for it. The waiters are very nice and it's easy to get a drink quickly from the bar; even when seated in the restaurant

Wow... Seattle, you've completely spoiled me with this pizza! I live in Florida and I'm so sad I haven't found anything down here that comes close. This place instantly won me over with its speakeasy-style vibe... You walk through tunnels and alleyways to get in, and it just feels like a hidden gem. Loved everything about the atmosphere! Service was a little slow at first, but I loved the place so much, that I wasn't bothered after the fact. Now the food... INSANELY GOOD!! I tried the grape and blue cheese pizza and the fig, goat cheese and prosciutto pizza (without the prosciutto) and holy sh*t!! Both were out-of-this-world delicious!! Easily some of the best pizza I've ever had. I started with the cheese bread (so good) and paired everything with a nice glass of wine. Perfect combination. The vibe, the food, the whole experience... Just unforgettable. Next time I'm back in Seattle, this spot will be a must. Florida seriously needs to take notes because pizza back home just isn't hitting like this!

Fig, Goat Cheese & Proscuitto

Their pizza dough is SO good! Soft and chewy but also crispy! I tried to prosciutto/goat cheese/honey/fig pizza and the toppings were good (though I'd prefer pepperoni honestly) I loved the sort of secret vibe. It's almost hidden near the gum wall and Pike Place Market.

Pizza holder!  lol

I really like this restaurant. We came here based on yelp recommendations, as well as looking in a few other websites. It is in the middle of the public market at Pike's Place. Had to go to look for it since the entrance to this place is down a long, dark ramp alley with walls full of chewed bubblegum. Lol! Kind of a restaurant/bar with a cool field and laid-back vibe. Great pizza and food. Recommended!

5 star service - 5 star atmosphere. It's slightly tricky to find this spot - almost hidden from Pike's Place hustle and bustle. I got a 10 inch pizza and when I got it the crust was pretty burnt. So I asked for a replacement which they gladly did. The next batch was really well made. But what stood out was not the pizza itself but their gesture. They gave the pizza on the house - I think it was a solid gesture and I would want to now come back again.

Delish! friend and i were hungry and just picked a random spot. loved the ambiance, service was great, our server christopher was super friendly & funny!! we got a chicken bacon ranch calzone, spicy mini mac, pep & jalapeño calzone, & an apple and brie dish that our server recommended (SO yummy!)

TLDR: happy hour pizzas are a steal. Came in on a whim after visiting the gum wall; cute little spot inside with delicious pizza. So glad we saw the pizzeria sign! The staff inside was so kind and refilled our waters without having to ask. Quick service and cool tunes playing. Would come again after visiting the wall (and pasting my own hehe).

Pepperoni mushroom pizza

We arrived in town and were in search of a quick late night bite- and this spot did not disappoint. Oddly enough, we've been to Pike Place Market more times than we can count, but we've never ventured down the alley and subsequently had no idea that it was legendary. We had to do the tourist thing and take a few photos outside. We were greeted as we entered by the friendly staff. It's a fun spot, with a small bar, reminiscent of a bar you'd find in Europe. There was an eclectic mix of patrons, and it was quite fitting that they were blasting Nirvana. We eyed pizza and salads on the tables nearby and decided that was the way to go. We ordered some drinks and a pepperoni & mushroom pizza and a wedge salad. Perfect late night choice before calling it a night. The thin crust pizza held up nicely to the toppings, sauce was great, ingredients were fresh. Some may find it a little pricey for the size, but it is Seattle and it is solid pizza. There were a lot of fun pizza choices on the menu worth checking out.

The entrance

Very cool spot! It was in the Pike Place Market area, right by the bubblegum wall. Mom said it reminded her of a mod squad look, psychedelic feel- I disagreed but kinda understood where she was coming from. It had a grunge aesthetic to me. The host was super cool, with cool hair lol. He even ran to catch up with us to bring us our leftovers because we forgot them. Waitress was the bomb - she checked in often with us and allowed my mom to sample the Riesling - which was DELISH!! We had the roasted broccoli as our appetizer, which was eaten quickly! It was perfect, the lemon squeeze was the cherry on top! We did a half & half type pizza - which we took half back to the hotel. Would definitely return if I visit Seattle again :)

Entrance in gum alley

Came to Alibi Room while visiting the Pike for a few cocktails. Old Fashions were tasty and the 80s music playing made the setting great. My only complaint sitting at the bar was you could smell that stinky spilled drinks and dirty rag smell that drives me insane. Would have left after one but the bartender was nice and courteous. It's a novelty bar right next to the famous gum wall alley.

Ask the Community - Alibi Room

Is this place good for large groups like around 7-8?

I wouldn't bring that big of a group since they have limited seating options. But if you call ahead they might be able to move two tables together?

Do they allow people under 21 for lunch in the restaurant?

Yes

Do you take reservations?

Yes they do!

Is there outdoor seating?

No outdoor seating but the indoor tables are placed far enough apart to allow for social distancing and it doesn't feel too crammed.

Are there any gluten free options available?

Yes! All the pizzas can be made on gluten free crust.

In the evening is the place kid friendly?

Nope

Hi, I'll be in the area soon, wondering what type of music they play? Thanks!

White Stripes and Cake so far. Bluesy, funky rock. Edgy rock with horns (musical and devilish variety).

I especially loved how all the cocktails had tech-themed names, it added a fun touch. We ordered one of their signature drinks and absolutely loved it (my favorite was "clickbait"). We also split the butter chicken flatbread, which was pretty good. Honestly, if we had more time, we definitely would've tried more from the food menu. Also, a special shoutout to the bartenders--they were awesome! Very nice, good service, and made fire drinks. The seating options are great too. You can sit outside by the fire pits with plenty of space, or inside at high-tops or cozy booth-style tables. The whole place feels pretty classy.

This place has so much potential if they improved their service. The service was so bad it took 45 min to get our first round of drinks. Our server was really nice but maybe stretched too thin bc she forgot to put our order in and threw away her paper that she wrote it on so she had to come re take our order. We had full intentions of ordering entrees from here but they were out of the main dishes. Just seems like the kitchen manager isn't planning well, staff doesn't have help from management. The only thing keeping this restaurant afloat is the view and the DJ

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.

The First Gentleman was attentive and we got our drinks and an appetizer timely. We ordered our second appetizer with our first server and thats where the service deteriorated. I could hear the table next to us ordered the exact same appetizer as we did 10-15 mins after we did and a new server who must had just clocked in brings them the order literally within 2-3 mins later and the male commented, "oh that was fast" and I thought to myself they got our order. Another 10-15 mins go by and I had to ask "do you know how long our order will take to which she seemed to get annoyed. It could have my energy because by that time I was annoyed. I'm not sure what happened to our original server but he must have gotten off. About 5-10 mins goes by and here it comes. That confirmed the table next to us got our order because of how long it took. They never apologized for their mistake. Doing all that time they never came back to see if we would like another drink. I had to flag someone down. The clincher was we got our bill and there was 22% service charge. That was on me because if I would have seen it I might not have gone. I'm not a fan of automatically charging a service charge. I'm a great tipper but it must be earned. By than I was really annoyed and thought to have a conversation with the manager but let it go. I would not go back. The craft cocktails are spendy but I had no problem with that because they're creative and they earned it by being creative. But the energy and the environment wasn't like the other speak easy bars I visited. It was boring and to top it off the service charge of 22% and the service that came with it sealed it for me. Make sure to read the website on their thought around the 22%.

The drinks are nothing special and definitely not the highlight, but they get the job done while you take in one of the best panoramas in Seattle.

You can see all of downtown, the Puget Sound, and the peninsula across the water as the floor slowly rotates. It's an easy, relaxed way to take in everything without having to move around.

My husband got the World's Fair Waffles with pears and vanilla cream, which he loved. Then we got a choice of our main course and we both made the correct choice for our tastes. I picked the Pork Belly Benedict, it was super rich and delicious, even with my usual distaste for eggs. My husband went for the steak, which was beautifully cooked. Finally, we got the signature dessert which was good, but the showstopper was the special effects.

Capitol Hill

As a self-appointed connoisseur of speakeasies (a title I awarded myself after extensive…read more"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.

Instagram : @yeapeats…read more I was excited to try Needle & Thread since it's often described as a speakeasy, but the "hidden" aspect didn't quite live up to expectations. Unlike other speakeasies that feel truly hidden, you actually just walk into Tavern Law, check in with the hostess, and let them know you have a reservation. They then guide you to a telephone where you repeat your reservation name before being let upstairs. It's a fun concept, but not especially secretive, and they're pretty strict about not letting you up early unless it's very empty. Once seated, we actually waited almost 20 minutes before being served with no acknowledgement. We ended up having to flag down the manager just to bring attention to our table, which was disappointing given the experience they're aiming for. The waitress asks a series of questions about your preferences--likes, dislikes, and flavor inspirations--so the bartenders can create custom cocktails for you. If you're knowledgeable about alcohol, this is probably a dream. If you're not (like me), it can feel a little intimidating, but our waitress was patient and did her best to guide us through it. The drinks themselves were excellent. Even the shots were customized, which was a nice touch. The vibe upstairs is chill and relatively quiet, making it a great place to relax and talk. Food is the same menu as downstairs at Tavern Law, so nothing new there. The only downside--and unfortunately a noticeable one--was an interaction with the female bartender (not our waitress). Based on the questions we were asked, my friend gave a mix of savory and sweet preferences, since we were told these were just inspirations. However, the female bartender came over sounding visibly annoyed and said, "So do you want savory or sweet? You're giving contradicting answers." The tone felt unnecessarily rude, especially since we were just following the process as it was explained to us. Overall, the drinks were great and the concept is unique, but between the delayed service and that negative interaction, it definitely put a damper on the experience.

I was so excited by the experience that I made a reservation to bring my partner there to end our anniversary night. I was expecting something more intimate and exclusive, especially since that was how it was presented during the Yelp event. When we arrived at the speakeasy at our reserved time, we were told it was not ready yet. We ended up waiting longer than expected, and when we finally received the text to come down, the door was already opening for a party that arrived after us. A big part of the Founders Club experience is the bookshelf entrance, and I had really hoped my partner could experience that excitement for the first time, but it ended up feeling a bit anticlimactic. Once inside, the space itself is nicely done and intimate, and the service was generally good. Prices are quite high for what we ordered, though they do provide complimentary fancy nuts, which was a nice touch. Overall, the vibes are good and I would like to return, but I hope the experience feels more curated and intentional for each party next time.
