We popped in before catching a film at SIFF and were pleasantly surprised. The cocktails were both creative and delicious, and the interior has a really charming (slightly divey) vibe. We ordered some food as well, it arrived quickly and everything was just as expected. A perfect little pre‑movie stop. read more

Cottontail is a fantastic little bar tucked away in Belltown, and I'm really glad I got to visit while in Seattle. It has a relaxed, welcoming vibe that made it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening with friends. The service was great--friendly and attentive without being over the top. The real highlight, though, was the drinks. The selection of handcrafted cocktails was impressive, and everything we tried was well-balanced and thoughtfully made. Whether you're into adventurous flavors or classic mixes, there's something for everyone. It's a cozy spot with a unique charm, perfect for catching up with friends or winding down after a day in the city. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

Dirty bar with mediocre drinks at craft cocktail prices. Entrance was located in a back alley so speak-easy esque, but the interior is more divey. The table we sat at was littered with pizza toppings, perhaps from a previous patron. The specialty cocktails ($13) were made with fridge ice which is already a huge no. read more

Cottontail - STRAWBERRY FIELDS! four roses!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Bartender charged me for a slushie that tasted like cheap sour mix. I asked for a different slushie. He proceeded to charge me for both , saying "you should have tasted it before asking for it " which is extremely childish. As a bartender I wouldn't ever sell something that the person wouldn't like. 12/28/25. Won't recommend anyone in the industry to this place ever. read more

Drinks were great! We tried the Wonderland 65, Shark Attack, Ginger Margarita, and Madhatter Mai Tai - all were great! The bartender was very chill and kind, as well as pretty efficient. The decor was cute and whimsical! Would definitely recommend for cute and unique cocktails and they were tasty and sizable portions for only $13, which is really good in this area. read more

Awesome Smash Burger in Belltown, friendly and cheap. Burger is topped with poblanos, patty is crispy on the outside, pink on the inside. 13$ is a steal. Music is unique, heard an underground rap I haven't heard in a long time, brought back a lot of memories.. read more

This is a new bar opened by the folks who opened Bathtub Gin and Rabbit Hole. It is hidden in an alleyway off of Blanchard and 3rd with mural art on the wall. You order at the bar which means it can take a while for your drink if the line is long and there is only one bartender working. They had a small menu on the board with only about five offerings which was pretty limited. I got the mad hatter mai tai ($13) which was sweeter than your typical mai tai, probably due to the orange. They have happy hour daily from 4pm-6pm which includes $12 cocktails, only a slight decrease from the ~$13 drinks otherwise. This is a unique lounge-y spot with multiple rooms to spend an evening. Also, they are dog friendly! read more

Stopped in here for a late night cocktail. The decor is cool and it has a pretty cool vibe. Too bad the bartenders are both incompetent and rude. I asked for a particular type of alcohol. She said she didn't have it, but later I saw it sitting right on the shelf. Know what you serve!!!! My wife asked for a lime in her drink (because she was previously served a lemon instead) and the bartender told her "Don't talk to me like I'm a kindergartner". Wow....do you job and cut the sass. We won't be back. read more

This is a fun divey place, dark vibes with a strong Alice in Wonderland theme. I came here to be a spectator on an open mic night. It was a good and supportive community. I enjoyed the varying levels of talent and the different kinds of music. The bartender was very relaxed and nice. He made a perfect paper plane. I look forward to coming back and would love to drag some friends along next time! read more

Honestly don't understand the hype of this place. The Alice in Wonderland theme is cute, and the mural outside makes it easy to find in the alley. Surprisingly big inside and could probably accommodate a larger group easily. Unfortunately, the bartender was curt and didn't do substitutions in the cocktails they offered - even though it's not prebatched. My drink was weak and not tasty at all. I asked for something else and got a whole lot of attitude back, saying I would need to pay for both drinks regardless if I liked it or not. There's also no table service, so be prepared to go back and forth to the bar multiple times if you're staying for more than one drink. Overall, was a place to check out once and never go back. read more

I noticed the obscure Cottontail a couple of months ago walking down 4th Avenue. A sign warned that Cottontail was arriving soon. WTF? However, it was enough to pique my interest. Initially, I found zip on the internet, but then facts came drifting in morsel by morsel. Cottontail is a new bar that took over an old spot and reopened, with its entrance on the alley between Blanchard and Bell and 3rd and 4th. That's less than a block from my place, and my presence was required. These folks also run the Rabbit Hole in Belltown, and I believe Bathtub Gin. Last night I was able to stop in, and am I glad I did. This is an eclectic watering hole, welcoming an array of humanity. It was refreshing to be amongst every possible subculture Seattle maintains. I was the oldest cat in the bar, but no one cared. Bryce, the Minot, North Dakota native was my barkeep, and he handled my annoying questions with panache. The atmosphere would be called "speakeasy," but it's just comfy and welcoming. Everyone was friendly, and I had a great time, leaving after three drinks with a big shit eating grin on my face. Despite the cold temperatures, I was toasty. The Cottontail is a unique lounge for this area in Belltown. Welcome to the hood. read more

Step into Cottontail, and you'll feel like you've entered a time capsule. The old-school Seattle vibe is palpable - dimly lit, cozy booths, and a mishmash of seats and tables that exude eclectic charm. It's the kind of place where you can unwind, chat with friends, and forget about reality. The staff here is friendly and attentive. Plus, they've got that laid-back Seattle attitude that makes you feel right at home. The cocktails at Cottontail are a delightful blend of creativity and classic flavors. Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast or prefer something fruity, they've got you covered. Okay, let's address the elephant in the room - parking. It's not great. If you're driving, be prepared for a challenge. There is a paid lot in the alley that is affordable but fills up on weekends along with street parking. read more

Watch how they charge you here because I was recently charged $80 for 3 drinks. When I paid it was around $50 and I included a 20% tip. My bank statement does not reflect what I was shown. I reached out to TC thinking maybe just a mistake, but received no response. read more

Popped in for some pre-dinner cocktails. We came during a holiday so the vibes were hard to decipher since we were the only ones. But they served delicious drinks with cool decor inside! read more

If you're looking for a cozy cocktail divy nostalgic spot than cottontail is your spot. It has the fun speakeasy vibes with being hidden in an alley in the old branchwater location. With 2nd Ave basically being torn down, cottontail was able to preserve all of the previous spots nostalgic items, like the old lava lounge and rabbit hole signs! The team weekly comes up with fun seasonal cocktails to try that will always bring a smile to your face! Also - fur kids are welcome too how great can this place get?? read more

Neat ode to the days gone by of the Rabbit Hole and Mr. Darcy's and the like. The newest offspring of the creator of Bathtub Gin and others. A speakeasy, alleyway drinking hole where the ambiance partners with the specialty cocktails to bring you a casual, comfortable drinking experience. If any of you remember the Sit and Spin, you'll know where this place resides. read more

We came here on Halloween and got a few cocktails before wandering around Belltown. The entry is in the alley. It was fairly quiet and not very busy but we were ok with that. I got the Shark Attack cocktail, it was tasty but definitely on the sweet side. The rubber ducky was a cute addition, we took it home for memories sake. read more

Don't let the alley confuse you, this is a great chill friendly dive bar to hang with friends. Ask about the secret menu karaoke or Switch Mario Kart. Thu-Sun the kitchen is open, hand pies, French dip and cheese sticks are my go tos. If Dan is working ask about their mocktails, because it's a marathon, not a sprint. read more

Popped in on NYE because we were looking for a cool bar close to the Space Needle and it was the best decision of the night. It's tucked in a parking in the middle of the block. Has cool murals on the outside and a great vibe inside. If you like disco then and a fun environment this is a place for you. Didn't catch the bartenders name but he had a great sense of humor and was super friendly. Will definitely add this to my list of places to hit while in Seattle! read more

Went during their listed open hours. Was locked up tight, no sign on door. So it's either closed, unreliable, or staff doesn't show up on time. Guess they don't want business. read more

Well, we were recommended to come here all our friends told us to come here... then this girl on 10/11/2023 @8:51 pm ruined our experience. We did didn't feel welcome she was pretty rude. She was surrounded by older men maybe she wanted the attention. Or that's how she gets her tips. I'm not sure but what I can't tell you is if you haven't been there 100 times don't go. Your not welcome there unless your 50 + and have a lot of money read more

Delicious cocktail offerings and food, great service, talented community during the open mic we attended. Great lighting and stage area!

Drinks were fine, didn't try any food. Ambiance is "overpriced thrift store". Service was awful, bartender/owner obviously dislikes men and she gives off an angry divorced vibe. Lots of superior bars in the neighborhood so there's really no reason to waste your time and money read more

Cool spot if you're looking for somewhere that feels off the beaten path in the middle of it all with just the right amount of charm. You can park your car or get dropped off or picked up in the parking lot near the front door in the alley off 3rd Ave and walk straight in and out. We went to Fob Poke Bar just across the street! read more

It's specialty drink and bartender actually explained to us about the ingredients. I enjoyed the drink a lot. Meanwhile ordered the Filthy fries. It's super good. I know it's in a small alley but inside it's nice and cozy. We came around 5:00 pm, the place opened on 4:00 pm. It's not busy yet, but as it gets later, more people showing up. In general, I enjoyed this place. read more

What a hidden gem, tucked back in an alleyway! Right away, you can tell it's gonna be fun. The entire outside entrance is painted in murals. But then step inside and the fun continues! It's eclectic and quirky. But best of all is the food and drinks. You have to place your food and drink orders at the bar. I got the "So Fresh, So Clean" cocktail, and it was delicious. But the chicken sandwich had me wanting to come back for more. Also tried the Brussels sprouts, french fries AND mac n cheese. It was all to die for!!!! Everything on Madame Kyra's menu is a must try! read more

I walked into cottontail with my friend of African American descent and we went and used the restroom. Was this followed into the restroom the lady asked if we was ok said yes. We went to the bar to purchase drink, we are both well off legal age and are not really drinkers, just wanted to wind down with an after work drink. We was refused service when we asked why she said she did not have to give a reason. The only thing I could tell was her color. In this day and age that kind of discrimination is disgusting if you are of African American descent and want some great service please don't walk into the cottontail. read more

Love the speakeasy ambiance, the wonderful bartender was very attentive and gave great suggestions.

Cool vibe and decor. Lots of fun decoration, not too loud or crowded. Run by the former owners and crew of Rabbit Hole and Darcy's. Bartender TC was super cool and made great drinks. Ask about his PB &J Jell-O shot. Fun skeeball, shuffleboard, and hungry hungry hippos games. Great neighborhood spot, will be back. read more

Best experience we had in Seattle! Found this place online since it was close to our hotel and decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised to say the least. TC runs the show here for sure. Loved the atmosphere and his cocktails were way better than we expected. Between the specialty cocktails, custom tailored cocktails to our own liking, and going out of his way multiple times to snag special ingredients for a drink he think we'd enjoy, to say this guy went above and beyond would be an understatement. We ended up going back 3 times in 2 days! We received the best service and formed a great connection that will for sure bring us back every time we're in town. Get this man a damn raise! read more
