Good bar was in fact a good bar! We went in right after open to kill some time. The bar tender was friendly and helpful. The menu was fun and had some unique options depending on what you're looking for, including low ABV and NA options. The ambiance was really cool with kinda funky classic gatsby vibes with a modern twist. I'd definitely recommend and come back to try more cocktails. The food menu looks a little more limited but as a bar it's an excellent choice I think! read more

Nice small bar with upscaled lunch items for both lunch and dinner. Got the crispy chorizo deviled eggs which were gluten free. The chorizo was not crispy, but the eggs were slightly spicy and vinegary. I like it okay. The bartender is very low key and happily he didn't socialize because I think he, like me, wanted to be in his own headspace. Not a lot of tables, but I found room easily at the bar. The place was vibing because o fan after work social from a local office. I'd give this 5 stars, but I'm seeing too many employee personal items on the bar. read more

Cool ambiance in here and cool drink selection. The False Confidence was REALLY good, had great richness and depth of flavor. I wasn't a huge fan of the Come Again; it basically tasted like a grapefruit Shirley temple. I couldn't taste the sesame component at all. Our friends enjoyed their cocktails. Would return again if in the area, would be a good place to catch a game (they have tvs) or hang with friends and grab some bites, too. read more

Because Good Bar is conveniently located down the street from Lumen Field, we popped in for Happy Hour on the way to N2 of Metallica this weekend. The bar was busy, but service was quick. The Mediterranean salads and hummus plate were excellent! The 6 Summers cocktail offering was good, as well. The space's interior is fascinating to study with its epic crown moldings and vault doors. Multiple seating options with outdoor tables, indoor tables, bar seating, and additional options on the mezzanine. read more

Good Bar - 6 Summers - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was our worst experience on our mini vacation in Seattle. I was surprised at all the reviews of "friendly service" because that is the opposite of what we got. We stopped by while we had an hour to spare before a walking tour and this bar was nearby. We ordered 2 sodas and a mushroom flatbread pizza. There was only one person sitting at the bar and one table of four, so I figured our order would be quick and easy. The bartender, who also served as the cashier, took my order. I asked if I could use a large bill. It was about 4pm in the afternoon which I know is early for a bar but he took the cash. I would have rather he refused and made me pay card because afterwards, he was so gruff it made us feel unwelcome. We waited patiently for 40 minutes for our flatbread pizza while slowly sipping our sodas. I could see the people at the kitchen were moving around but nothing was coming out. We only had about 10 minutes to get to our location and I was confused why we hadn't received our order. By this time, the bar had picked up with more people, but still, not one thing had come out of the kitchen. My husband asked the bartender if our pizza was on the way and he begrudgingly responded, "I don't know. I have no control over the kitchen" and continued making drinks. By this time, we were already late so we headed out the door. I didn't even want to ask for a refund because I just didn't want the bartender's energy anymore. I don't want to go this route but we were the only patrons of color in the place and he just didn't make us feel welcome. I haven't felt that way in Seattle at any of the places we visited but I could tell that he just didn't want to serve us. I noticed also that he went to two other tables and delivered plateware and silverware for food they ordered but he had never given us any. As we were walking out the door, I noticed one of the kitchen staff taking out a pizza out of the oven. I asked my husband to go back in to maybe get the pizza to-go. He went in and talked directly to the kitchen staff. There were two people working. One person said it was his very first day (maybe that's why it was slow?) but the other experienced kitchen member confirmed through the food tickets that he had never received an order for a mushroom flatbread. The prosciutto pizzas they were making were for other people who came after us. It seemed as if the bartender never gave them our ticket for food which explained why it never came! He gave me a table number to get the food delivered, but never gave us dining ware. My husband explained the situation to the guy at the kitchen and he agreed that it was awful treatment. When my husband repeated what the bartender said to him he responded "that's ridiculous" because even though he was busy, he could have checked on our order. The bar was almost completely empty when we arrived and he never cared to check on anything for us. And was this done out of spite because he broke a big bill for me? Was he racist? I'm really not sure but all I know was that in my two visits to Seattle, I have never had such poor customer service. I'm grateful that the kitchen member gave us a refund; I ended up using the cash to tip our guide for the tour we were late for. I was excited to try a local spot, a neighborhood gem- but all I got in return was feeling disrespected and unwelcome. People from Seattle, you deserve better. Out-of-towners, there are so many bars and great places to eat around Pioneer Square. I do not recommend The Good Bar. Nothing out of the experience here was good. If anyone reads this review that works there, see the picture attached for a view of the bartender who served us in the background. I took a photo of our empty table for the food that never came. read more

Good Bar - The food that never came... we waited for 45 minutes for a flatbread. The bartender in the back never gave the kitchen our order. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great and inventive craft cocktails, carefully made and stirred to perfection! Happy hour here can be unhappy - long lines at the bar and a shortage of chairs. But on a weekday evening, after a Mariners' game, like last night, our party had seven different cocktails from the specials menu, all of them super well-received! Not an over-stirred, watered-down bevvie in the bunch! Their Aviation was perfectly balanced, even better than my home-made from the Difford's Guide version; the Dirty Manhattan was enhanced with Cynar, and Orpheus Under The Influence, an amazing combo of (Rabbit Hole Rye, Martel VS Cognac, Dola Dira, Giffard Strawberry, Fratello Hazelnut Liqueur) absolutely awesome. Brings me back to memories of Zig Zag with Murray, although, to be fair - Zig Zag still rocks. But so does Good Bar, The Best Cocktail Bar in Pioneer Square. read more

Love this spot. The atmosphere is fun without trying too hard. It's the perfect mix of laid-back and lively. Drinks are solid, well-made and creative. The food is surprisingly good. Great place for a casual night out or meeting up with friends. Definitely one of those places you end up staying longer at than you planned. Will be back. read more

Good Bar is back! I thought this was one of the pandemic casualties . One of the best classic/ modern bar ambiance in the city. Glad to see it return with new ownership but still great drinks with better service. The bartender Sarah is great there and I would return just for her friendly banter and ability to serve, suggest drinks and carry conversations will all the bar patrons. I will for sure stop by any time in Pioneer Square. The Rhubarb mule is a must and the Marion-berry sangria is great as well. read more

Good Bar - Not sure why Kurt looks so sad because this place is great. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A great spot to relax and unwind with friends, offering a laid-back atmosphere perfect for enjoying a drink together.

When you first arrive, it's super cute! And then when you see the menu you may think it's limited but the bartender worked with me to make what I liked because they have a full bar and they're flexible. My friends ordered some food to share and I saw that the burger came with chips. I asked if I could buy just chips and he just brought me a plate no charge! They're really nice and accommodating. They brought us a pitcher of water for the table and took care of us for drinks. Highly recommend! read more

Best of espresso martini! Better than Starbucks Reserve. The bartender was the best.

We recently rented out Good Bar for our wedding reception and I have no negative things to say about utilizing this space. It was beautiful. The team was so kind and helpful. They were accommodating with certain requests. The food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed trying their fun cocktails. Highly recommend booking them as an event space (or just stopping by for a drink!). read more

I came here for a 20-person meetup with this amazing fashion-forward group of women. The service was incredibly slow, the food left us disappointed and looking for something better. Drinks, tbh, I don't even remember. All a bit of a bummer considering the delightful interior design! Had it not been for our group this place would have been dead. And it was a warm Saturday evening! If you want a place to go that isn't crowded, and you're not particular with your food, then try it out because it is cute. But I wouldn't go back a second time. read more

I had been to Good Bar a few times before Covid times and always enjoyed to atmosphere here, but had never tried any food, just drinks. Last night I went there with some friends now that it is reopened and finally tried the food - WOW! The menu is all new, now with a Mediterranean flair. We had Spiced Nuts, Beets, Labneh Mousse, Griddled Halloumi, and the Lamb and Beef Pita, all of which were fantastic! I stuck to beer, of which they have many on tap, but my friends tried some of their very unique cocktails and enjoyed them as well. They also have just enough TV's to be able to watch an important game, but would definitely not consider it a sports bar. Overall, Good Bar has a very comfortable atmosphere, along with great food, drinks, and a friendly staff. If you're in the Pioneer Square area, you should definitely pop in and give them a try! read more

I contacted the Good Bar via email in a last minute effort to get a hold of their mezzanine space, and they responded quickly and were helpful to get our group a space. I had not been here before, but was pleasantly surprised by the bright lighting and comfortable atmosphere. The location itself is pretty cool, just because they are in a converted space that used to be a commercial bank. When I arrived for our private event, they already had everything set up, including signage that directs you to the stairs leading up to the mezzanine. There was a dedicated staff to help us take orders and made everything incredibly simple for our group. I'd also like to mention that they have air condition in the corner of the mezzanine - which is such a nice touch on a hot day. We ordered a wide array of both happy hour and non-happy hour menu items, and for the amount we ordered, I would say that service was pretty quick. I want to highlight the fried Beecher's cheese curds, which was INCREDIBLE, and far superior than your normal cheese curds. Their charcuterie was also exceptional, and we had let our server make decisions on what paired best. I loved the mussels, and the wings were tasty as well. The Good Bar has an extensive drink menu, including a solid spirits selection. Their cocktails had unique spins and were named after quirky parts of the building history and neighborhood. Service was exceptional and food was tasty. Nothing to complain, and I'd definitely be back to try out other items! read more

Okay. I have to start by saying I was so excited when I saw the menu! So when I had a bad experience, I was really bummed. We walked in and were... not greeted by this 25 year old looking boy with shaggy hair, who looked miserable, or possibly too cool to emote positively. He just looked at us and I asked if we seat ourselves, to which he nodded. So we sat, he brought some menus, said nothing when I said thank you, and never came back. After about 10 min of sitting, I raised my hand, and he said something that I could not hear from across the room, and so I walked up to the counter, where he told me that it was order at the counter. Which would have been nice to know, because it felt like we were being completely ignored. Which we were honestly. And I expressed that he didn't share that with us, and he rolled his eyes. So I left. Really irritated. And went to this place called Darkalino's. This place was amazing & the service was so great & friendly. And there were some locals sitting at the bar who told us the sh*t attitude is common at Good Bar. So have fun read more

Drinks were fine and service was friendly/fast, but ordered a prosciutto and arugula flatbread and straight up got served pepperoni and warm romaine. Asked if it was the right one and they said yep. Also ordered two sandwiches but they were out of bread for it so we cancelled it. Really confused cause this place is highly recommended but outside of ok drinks it really wasn't. Maybe it's a good late night spot but if you want food, go literally anywhere else read more

We got there early and grabbed a good table before it got crazy. The place is very attractive and and clean. read more

I think I have used Yelp like once in my life before but I felt compelled to in this instance. I would give Good Bar 20 stars if this stupid app would let me. I threw an engagement party here last night and to say the team at Good Bar went above and beyond anything I could have expected would be like calling Lebron James just a "good" basketball player. Everything leading up to the night and the night itself was perfect. I am begging you: please let Good Bar handle your food, drinks, and any special events in your life. They will not let you down. Thank you again to Erik and the entire Good Bar team for a night I will never forget (although a bit of it is a little foggy on account of excellent cocktails). read more

Good Bar service never disappoints. Great staff! Always friendly and informative. Went here for happy hour got some goodies to nibble on from HH menu but went for drinks off of the regular menu instead these cocktails were calling us my Japanese Commercial Bank 2 was a light citrus concoction with shochu, lychee, yuzu and shiso I would definitely have this again. My friend had the Phoenix On The Rise a mezcal cocktail with cilantro salt on the rim. We had the beer butter and baguette was told the butter contained a porter. We remembered the roasted fingerlings from our previous experience here and went with those again they were so good. I'm not a big mayo fan but their house made potato salad aioli is unbelievable if I was hungry enough and they had it on the menu I would've had fish and chips just so I could dip it in the aioli. If the peanut butter and jelly ice cream is on the menu I don't care how full you are GET IT! You'll thank me. Looking forward to my next visit read more

Good ambience We had dal makhani it was really good high on quality its the best dal i had in Seattle compared to other places

We came in with a party of three and they had a private event going on upstairs. We ordered three cocktails and two orders of olives and gyros. It took us a little over 15 minutes to get the drinks which I can kind of understand because of the private event going on, but it took over 90 minutes to get our food. We were absolutely shocked. We asked twice and it was still "coming shortly". The order of olives could have come at anytime as they were just olives I assumed. The gyros were extremely dry and we had to order some extra sauce to eat them. Maybe it was just an off day for them, but doubt we'll be back. read more

Fantastic establishment! Alec served up a few amazing cocktails and their was ample seating to watch the game.

Great happy hour and great food. Amazing service! I highly recommend checking out this cute spot. My husband and I met up with friends before heading to the pioneer square art walk.

Might have to make it our post work happy hour. read more

There are two floors with the upper area smaller and usually reserved for events. The whole bar layout is quite small for the popularity of this place as a post-work, social spot. The noise level is also way too high and it's a bit annoying to yell over people in a conversation. Nonetheless, I love Good Bar's cocktail selection & ciders. Thanks to a waitress for recommending the Thistly Cross (a dry cider)! read more

I'm on the hunt to try all the cocktail bars and good bar is a little gem I found in pioneer square. This spot has a classier feel, catering to the (young) professional & trendy crowd. Every time I've come in, they have been decently busy, and it's always been a great experience. I only came for cocktails and while the menu options are diverse, the drinks they offered are at a very reasonable price for what you get. I ordered through the wormhole and the complex smoky citrusy spicy flavors were fantastically balanced. This spot would be great for a date or even a stop during a night out as there is also standing room for you to enjoy your cocktails. I'd highly recommend checking this spot out at least once! read more

Excellent food! Loved the atmosphere here before attending a Seattle Sounders game. Great cocktails, fun bar.

Amazing find in Pioneer Square! I am always on the hunt for the best happy hour and Good Bar has HH all day Mondays! Of course other weekdays as well for a limited time. The atmosphere is classy and hip. The black and white tiles were a nice touch next to the dark wood. My friend and I met up here after she got done with work and it wasn't busy. We were seated right away and with sunshine right by our window :) We stuck with the happy hour menu since it wasn't quite dinner yet. I got a cocktail (the Zenith), the Macrina baguette, and the Landjaeger. My friend ordered the baked mussels and the E9 draft beer. We were both pleased with our order. If it wasn't for HH the prices would be much steeper but understandably so as they really strive for quality ingredients. The baguette came with a super soft butter & matched the Landjaeger, which is essentially smoked meats with a whole grain mustard dip with Parmesan cheese. The mussels according to my friend was really good. I found it very interesting that they provide the napkins with specific utensils you'll need for your order - not always your typical fork and knife situation. I wish I could've gotten more to try but maybe next time. It's relatively close to the link and the street if you use public transit/Uber/Lyft. read more
