Ordered a couple of meals to go about 4 months ago and I had to throw mine out. My husband ate part of his and threw the rest out. Last night we gave it one more go. Ordered 2 burgers to go. Asked for no onions or sauce. Got home and found they had onions and sauce on them of course. Took a few bites and threw both burgers out. And it cost us $77. $10 was a tip. We do try to support, but we just can't support them anymore. Sorry.

It's a classic college/dive bar! Prices are really great!…read moreSelection of beers and ciders on tap is great! Service is very fast, even when there is a line. Bartenders were friendly. All the drinks were ordered were quick and tasty. For those that cannot drink beer, they do have Twisted Tea on tap which is somewhat carbonated which is fun, unique and refreshing. Went on a weeknight, and saw that they had Blanton's. May be the cheapest price for a pour of it in town. Since it was only a few bucks more than a standard bourbon and coke, asked for a Blanton's and coke, which got some laughter, good played heckling and jokes from the bartenders. (obviously I corrected myself and did not get it with coke). Pool tables look nice and in good condition. Lines for a table were pretty long, but there was a group for a birthday party there squatting on one of the tables all night. The cook in the back seemed a bit gruff and muttered something at my wife when he was trying to book it back to the kitchen in a crowded bar. Seemed unnecessary, but still, overall the staff was great. Would go back!

I got the Puma St. Puma, which was basically a spiced pineapple margarita--fruity, savory, a little smoky, and really well balanced. My date got the Bermuda Love Triangle, and hers was incredible.

It can take a little while to get a drink, especially when they're busy, but these aren't basic cocktails being thrown together in 30 seconds. You can't rush perfection.

The Lenin drop cocktail was a surprisingly good mix of beet and lemon but you definitely need to be a beet lover to enjoy this and I might have dialed up the lemon a hair more. The food highlight was the potato and cheese dumplings which were so soft and fresh and great with the included vinegar. The borscht was hearty and the little meat pastry wad tasty as well. Only disappointment was the honey cake. I was so excited to see one of my faves on the menu that is so hard to find but this version was way too sweet and not true to the original flavors.

I've been behind a bar for more than 30 years…read more Long enough to know the difference between service and hospitality. Service is getting the drink right. Hospitality is making somebody feel seen. Dark Room made me feel seen. There was something about this place that hit me almost immediately. Maybe it was the room. Maybe it was the weirdness. Maybe it was the absolute lack of anything cookie-cutter. Maybe it was the way the staff cared without performing the fact that they cared. If you've spent any real time in Seattle bars, you know being the first-timer can sometimes feel a little rough. You walk in and have to earn your way into the rhythm of the place. Not here. Dark Room had that old-school hospitality I built a career around. The kind where somebody notices you. Reads the room. Knows when to talk, when to leave you alone, when to make a recommendation, when to surprise you. The drinks were strange and thoughtful and beautifully made. The food had personality. The room had soul. And then Ewan put a $12.87 "industry credit" on our bill. Twelve dollars and eighty-seven cents. It wasn't the amount. It was the gesture. A little nod across the bar world. A tiny act of recognition from one hospitality person to another. After 30 years in this business, I can tell you that those things matter. A lot. Because the best bars don't just serve drinks. They create a temporary world -- one with its own language, rituals, surprises, and small acts of grace. They remind you that hospitality is not about being impressed. It is about being welcomed. It is about leaving a place feeling a little more connected than when you walked in. That is what Dark Room gave me. It reminded me why I stayed in this business for so long: for the ritual, the intimacy, the creativity, the care, and the beautiful weirdness of making strangers feel at home for a few hours. The ultimate. The unique. The weird. That's the stuff. And Dark Room absolutely gets it.i

Spanish cheese appy was to die for. I told wifey, 'thats what an appy is supposed to taste like' I had an open faced sando, sub polenta and brisket. Quite good. The brisket seems to go really really well with the pickled veg. Celery? Fennel? IDK, don't care really. Flavor and texture nailed. Fried potatoes were perfectly cooked. Same pickled sauce. Really good.
