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

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

This is a great find in the Pioneer square district! Came here before a Sounders game, not really sure what to expect. Oh wow, the cocktails here are magnificent! It was relatively quiet when my friend and I had first arrived, but soon after it got really busy. Even then, we found the staff really nice, and patient! For drinks, I decided to go beyond their fancy cocktail menu, and order a Margarita - this is possibly the best rendition of a Margarita I've ever had. I can't remember my friends cocktail order, but he also enjoyed his.. so much so, we ended up ordering a few more :D For food, we opted for the maple and bacon peanuts and some goat cheese concoction with crispy bread. The food was tastier than what we assumed we would get, so that was a good win! Overall, this is a place I look forward to going back to. The look and feel of the place is fabulous, and the staff were nice to us. Those cocktails were really worth the money (that can be hard to say in the Seattle area). Fun times! read more

Good Bar - Margarita - sooo good! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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. Our food took a little longer then expected so the owner of the establishment kindly apologized and offered us drinks. Truly a kind gesture and we will definitely coming back again. Might have to make it our post work happy hour. read more

Beautiful bar in the heart of pioneer square. We came here for Seattle cocktail week on a Thursday night. The place was packed but definitely enough standing space if you're keen to wait. While waiting, we were delighted to see Oola, a distillery located in capitol Hill, sharing free samples of their spirits. The master distiller (didn't get his name) was introducing the different products they had and we even managed to try some of their bourbon. The distillery is 10 years old and apparently it takes 5 to age whiskey. But I digress... I had the bazillionaire, a coffee based rum cocktail, and my friends tried the JCB #2 and the Money Milk. I liked it. The flavors and spirits were subtle which made everything flow easily. The Money Milk tasted like a iced green latte which was delicious. All the drinks were also at really affordable price points. My only problem was the wait. We waited around 45 mins between ordering and getting our drinks. I thought that was a little too long :/ read more

Food & drinks were nice. Place was bit noisy & couldn't hear my team over the music & noise (hence cut one start) they had loads of food & drinks option. Service was good. We pre-reserved our table - so there wasn't any wait time for us. Mojito was okay. But other drinks were nice. Potatoes fingers had weird flavor - not a fan. Cheese tray was nice burgers & small bites were good. Bruschetta was yummy. Little pepper fillings were awesome.. 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

Cute spot with good drinks. I wouldn't consider it a laidback spot for a chill weeknight, but fun to go to on the weekends or on nights when you're trying to be a little nicer. Was there on a Saturday night close to last call and they'd just closed down the kitchen, but we were hoping for dessert. The manager overheard the bartender telling us that we unfortunately were too late for dessert and he was able to get it for us anyways! The espresso torte was amazing and paired well with my cocktail, the springtime royalty. read more

Worked with a great team to arrange a dinner for our family of 30 before an Alaskan cruise. A last minute sanfu caused us to have move location. the Dead Line team worked with their peer location a couple blocks away, Good Bar, to host us. All the employees were great, and the food was yummy. Thank you for the last minute pivot for a very large group. Will definitely go back when I'm in Seattle again read more

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

My friend and I came to Good Bar for dinner on a Thursday night. The food was insanely good. The Green Salad had one of the best lemon vinaigrettes I've ever tasted and the fried quinoa gave it an amazing crunch. The Salt-Roasted Fingerling fries were perfectly baked and the potato salad aioli it came with had an awesome zing. Also, the beer butter that came with the Macrina Baguette was delicious. And I enjoyed the crushed ice margarita they made for me despite it not being on the menu. Overall very happy with everything we ordered! Our server Nancy was lovely... very accommodating, checked in on us at all the right times, and gave us space / didn't make us feel rushed to leave. Such a nice place to go for my first night out in Seattle (I'm visiting from California). Thanks Nancy & team for a lovely dinner experience. I'll be back! read more

This is the cutest little bar! Alec is a great bartender and makes amazing cocktails. We'll definitely be back in the next coming weeks. :)

Update: I appreciate the bar owner or manager Erik for reaching out after I'd had poor experience with some employees and refunded my bill. He explained that staff changes have occurred since my visit. I'm updating my review to reflect the quick response and correction from the management, who could have otherwise ignored my feedback. read more

went there a couple of times. Solid cocktails. But that's the only thing I can say as I did not have any food. Both times were not too busy but it can get loud, maybe due to the quite original space, it is an ex- bank with two levels of seating and you can still see the original safe door. A good date spot! read more

So many great spots for happy hour in Pioneer Square, but Good Bar is one of the best. It's a modern spot in a prime location, with nice decor that makes you feel fancy. Happy hour items are delicious but portions are smaller, as is expected for a cocktail bar/gastropub. The cocktails themselves are unique, with good variation and specials on the blackboard. Would definitely recommend the crispy cheese curds and the mussels off the HH menu! read more

Good Bar - Happy hour (3-7 pm weekdays, 4-7 pm weekends) featuring crispy cheese curds, mussels, and brews! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Good Bar was one of the best places we could have stumbled upon while exploring Seattle. Alec is an expert bartender and took great care of us. We loved the variety of G&T's, and will definitely make this a first stop next time we're downtown. Highly recommend! read more

Awesome bar with awesome vibe. The bartender Alec was super fun and knowledgeable. My new favorite hangout!!!

Very cute bar! I loved the vibe and the drinks were amazing! However, the food selection is not grand which I would love to see!

Won trivia at Flatstick. Then came over. Unknown gem craft cocktails spot by the stadiums. Best two cocktails Ive had this year.

I've been dining at Good Bar since it opened under new management & I can't say enough good things. Kaylin with her bartenders Alec & Mikey do an excellent job! Chef Matt & his Mediterranean dishes are just amazing ! Even on busy nights Kaylin offers that personal touch while managing her highly trained staff. I recommend this bar & kitchen read more

Had a good experience at Good Bar. Ordered the sloppy joe and fingerling potatoes and both were delicious! Complemented each other perfectly. I was sipping on the Snoozefest IPA, which was also superb! Had a buzz by the second pint (I know, light weight). The service was excellent and even though I was by myself, I felt very welcomed. My kind of crowd, working and probably hold overs from happy hour. Would recommend checking this place out! read more

What a Good Bar indeed. Built in what was the old Japanese American Bank in the International District/ Pioneer Square, this place has some class. Not too big, not too small, with an active but not overly loud bar scene. I really enjoyed the drinks here and love coming for happy hour! Their HH apple mixed drink is pretty tasty! That said, while the HH food is good, it's also really really salty... I imagine it's to keep you drinking... But you don't need to convince me to do that! . Stay thirsty and hungry friends! read more

Great happy hour deals. My friends and I got some beer while in the area. We chose the beer of the day on tap which was some kind of porter.. $5. We grabbed 3 seats at the bar with no problem, however, the place was starting to fill up around 5. The building is an old Japanese bank with vaults still intact..it's cool to admire all the detail of this building. Overall good experience! read more

A wonderful gem in Pioneer Square - Good Bar has a wonderful selection of beers and cocktails, delicious food, and a relaxed atmosphere. We came here on a Friday night and the bartender Josh was very funny and helpful recommending some of the best local brews and made great drinks. We had the macrina baguette and charcuterie for a light snack and enjoyed them so much we ordered seconds. I fully recommend this bar to anyone looking for something good to eat, a stiff cocktail or local beers, and friendly service. read more

Came here for a bite and some drinks and really enjoyed both! I got the Bar and the salt roasted fingerlings and they both had their own unique things that made them interesting. The potatoes are done with a side of what tastes somewhat like tartar sauce but is actually the non-potato ingredients that go into potato salad. The celery gives a little crunch, the dill some flavor and the sauce is pure yum. The bar has a nice temperature play with a cold chocolate cake and ice cream on top. The ice cream cuts the richness of the cake which is really nice and the drizzled chocolate adds a pleasant crunch to the dessert. I changed my order from a Ranier to a cocktail but my waitress brought out the Ranier so I didn't try the cocktails but they had a nice menu of cocktails. read more

Came here with a group of friends for a bday. Had a large party so they sat us upstairs in the loft. Not many food options, lots of drinks, it was very hot upstairs, and our server seemed exhausted. I'd come back for drinks but wouldn't host an event here. Parking was right outside which is great for the area. read more

OMG. Their food was sooooo good. We were around the area wandering and wondering where to stop by and found a Good Bar. We ordered cheese and mortadella and the creamy goat cheese we chose was so tastly! Definitely the best goat cheese I had. We ordered a burger as we couldn't stop there lol and ended up clearing all the food and glasses and glasses of wine and prossecco. Long story short, had a Good Night at a Good Bar! read more

Nice, more upscale place, but not a great post dinner bar unless just grabbing a quick nightcap before bed or want low lighting to spend time with your significant other without being bothered. Square bar with seating on three sides that is surrounded by lower dining tables. Marble bar top with no rail. Huge very well padded comfy stools. Not much of a back bar due to bar shape. Friendly service. read more

Just now getting around to writing this review: Went to a private joint birthday party here and was not impressed. Party was upstairs with one server (She was really nice btw) for everyone which meant you had to wait long periods of time to put an order in, the server go downstairs and place the order and than wait to receive it. So people started to trickle downstairs to order drinks because it's a full service bar downstairs. The bartender downstairs was straight face the entire time , his energy was as if he didn't feel like dealing with us and to make it worse he literally said "you can just order up stairs" (multiple people stated he said the same thing to them) Just really rude and tasteless to a paying customer. Like what difference does it make where I order, when all the drinks are being prepared RIGHT HERE dude??? That was my first and last drink because of his attitude. Really expensive drinks averaging around $14 ... And I can't even remember if music was playing now that I think of it. Loved the decor inside for sure but I would never come back as it was not the most welcoming feeling due to the bartender with the face piercing, that came to work just to practice his mixology skills but not people skills lolol. read more

Good Bar really is a good bar and this is why: Hospitality. An employee happened to see me approach their front door and he immediately opened it for me and welcomed me into the restaurant. I felt like was a guest walking into a 5 star hotel. Accommodations. I was surprised I was allowed to place a to-go order. I had an experience where a chef refused to make a to-go order for me. Atmosphere. When I was seated at the bar I noticed it was a busy place and customers around me were happy to be there. I liked being in a nice warm building when it was in the low 30's outside. Food. I had the Salt-roasted fingerlings & potato salad aioli and Sloppy Joe for dinner. It was flavorful and filling. I chose the Sloppy Joe because it reminded me of the SNL sketch "Lunch Lady" with Chris Farley and Adam Sandler. I'm also a fan of potato salad. Location. It's only one block from the 3rd and Main Metro bus stop. It's also close to the International District/Chinatown Station and the Sounder Train Station. Acceptance. I felt comfortable being there. I had a great experience. read more

This was our last stop on a date night mini crawl. Why not? Vibes were feelin good following an exceptional meal, so why not the Good Bar? At first glance this bar looks impeccable, at least on Yelp. I was certain this was going to end the night with a bang. I'd characterize it more as a pop than a bang though. Don't get me wrong, interior is nice, but it really wasn't the ambience I was expecting to find. It could be due to the fact that it was a Tuesday night, but it felt way too dull in there. That wasn't all that bad because we at least got to sit and talk unbothered by loud noise or a crowded space. The drinks were fine I suppose, but going from one stellar cocktail program to another, I would expect no drop-offs. This one just couldn't live up to what I had previously encountered. It did however keep my buzz going, so no complaints there. All in all, this is a good place for an imbibe. That's the minor letdown, it's just a "good" place - a good bar to be exact. read more

This place is a stunner. Beautiful space, first of all. Clean and modern, with lots of ornate touches -- from the crown molding to the balustrade to the columns -- to give it splendor and a ton of character. It seemed a bit slow for a Friday night when I came. The bar was full, but there were a few vacant tables on the main level. The upstairs was completely empty. It had a very casual and relaxed feel, and I really dug the downtempo trip hop mix they had going in the background. The menu is not extensive but very thoughtful. I had three other people with me, and we sampled a few different dishes. We were blown away by almost everything we tried. They have a pretty good selection of cheeses and charcuterie, $3 per ounce. We kicked it off with an ounce each of salame toscano, bresaola, mole salame, gouda, St. Nectaire, and Rocchetta. While everything was delicious, the wonderful combination of savory, sweet, and spicy in the mole salame easily caused me to develop a mini-addiction. Later on, we asked for a sardine, a sloppy joe, baked oysters, a couple of orders of braised beef with carrot spaetzle, fingerling potatoes, and a sunchoke and kohlrabi soup. Everything was a hit and all superbly prepared, but my personal favorite was the baked oysters! These babies got me all hot and bothered: crispy ham, chives, leek, bread crumbs. They come with a side of vinegary hot sauce, which I fully utilized. Lawdy lawd, the flavors just burst in your mouth all at once -- creamy, briny, tart, that intense millisecond where the hot sauce hits your mouth in all the right places -- and then you get that nice crunch from the crispy ham and bread crumbs. These oysters on their own are a good enough reason to come back! I think my least favorite was the sloppy joe. It was good, and the meat was so tender, but a bit too sweet for me. If it were a tad more savory, I would've liked it much better. Cocktails were on point as well. Whiskey drinkers, you'll be excited about the Whiskey Smash. Service was impeccable. Every staff member we encountered was personable, professional, attentive, and prompt. I live a block away, so this place is super-accessible to me. Even if I didn't live this close, though, I'd still be planning many returns. read more
