I went to visit this bar when I was in town to visit For Emerald City Comic Con…read more This bar was incredibly cool! It was part of Seattle's underground when a city was built on top of a city. It's below the billiards hall down a long stairwell. The ambiance is very cozy with decor from an age not long forgotten. I went on a Thursday night, and there was no DJ, but they did have music playing. It was also the first Thursday where the area turns into an arts walk. That was really fun to slip away from the art galleries and have a drink. They had several cocktails and I had a new one on the menu that was black tea infused bourbon and peach. I am not a bourbon drinker at all and that was one of the best cocktails I've had in a long while. It did take a while to get the drinks as there was a full house that night. But it was worth the wait. I do recommend the Pharmacy for anyone that is visiting Seattle or if they are a local.

During my Fall stay in Belltown this cool quaint spot was recommended to me based off of a set of…read morecriteria I asked from my bartender at another spot: dive-y, cocktails, preferably records/vinyl DJs, and cool vibes. The bartender said Screwdriver Bar. I looked it up, closed my tab, and walked over to Screwdriver Bar which was a short walk back to my hotel. Score! First off don't get confused. There is one (1) door attendant possibly for two venues?! I want to say there was a venue on top of this bar. Either way I saw Screwdriver Bar was downstairs so be sure you kinda know where you are going. Screwdriver Bar is (seemingly) free from a cover. I walked down the steps and entered a whole world of vinyl records, throw back artwork and memorabilia that filled the very top of the ceiling all the way down to the tables and floor. This spot made me feel welcomed right off the bat with laughter, people dancing, and a busy bar staff serving up all the drinks from tallboys to fancy hand shaken cocktails. I really enjoyed my time here when I visited. On the menu I thought I saw a dumpling type of food situation going on. I know I smelled good warm food smells but I did not have a chance to order anything (I ate somewhere else). Mostly locals here which made me feel good as the recommendation was spot on and the others here were all having a great time which was the vibe I needed during my stay in Belltown.

I was impressed with the menu and appreciated the creativity. I was glad to hear about the thought process around some drinks and that they update the menu with some regularity in a pleasant conversation with the bartender. I was really happy with the, quite interesting, bullion whiskey cocktail I ordered. They have a food menu now. I'm kind of forgetting what they served, but it seemed like pot stickers were maybe on the menu, along with maybe 5 other items. The place was about 3/4 full on a Friday. I noticed the service would bog down for awhile and then free up again, and that seemed to be the pattern for the evening. This is a really vibey gem tucked away in the northwestern end of Capitol Hill, great if you want to get away from crowds or just go to one of the cooler bars in Seattle.

If you find yourself in the same boat (haha, get it? see what I did there? boat ... same boat .. because we were in a boat ... No? Ok, nevermind, moving right along ) ... I recommend you check out Navy Strength, a cute tropical themed bar in the Belltown area of Seattle. We actually came upon them by accident when heading to a local musical event nearby but we were definitely taken to that tropical head space, just sit back, relax, take in the ambiance and music, enjoy a drink and feel the motion of the waves .. or was that from the drink, either way, highly recommend! Being a big fan of the Twin Peaks tv show, my wife was taken by the novelty of a drink called "Fire Walk with Me" and, between both presentation and taste, it definitely didn't disappoint on either level. We didn't think to check the food menu at the time but in hindsight, they look to have some good options worth going back for. They have a Jackfruit slider that can be made vegan. In addition, they have nachos which can be made vegan as well. I reached out to ask about this, instead of vegan cheese, it's prepared with a house peanut sauce, sounds intriguing to me. Last (that I noticed) they have Smoked Almonds and also Marinated Olives, both labelled "V" for vegetarian but I can't imagine what might keep them from being vegan, worth inquiring further on that.

And it was a perfect place for a cocktail or two and lite bites. It's a little off the main drag so that's why I haven't seen it before but the space is fairly large with a bar, seating area and a patio. The bar is well-stocked and they had genever, so I started with a genever Martinez, which was solid. I then ordered one of their cocktails, Fuller, go easy on the Pepsi which had Whistle Pig rye, Willett bourbon, Cola reduction, Luxardo sour cherry bitters, Angostura bitters, and orange spritz. Loved the reference to Home Alone and loved this variation an old fashioned - I could taste the cola reduction.
