    Burrata 5/5
    Ash G.

    I love love love Kro Bar, everything from their aesthetic to their ridiculously good drinks, everything is on point! I came in to celebrate my friends engagement and of course I had to have my drink the Aqua Ardens Vol. 16, ugh its so so good I cannot recommend it enough. I also had the What We Found in the Jungle... and... YES! For food I had the Steak Frites and I'm so sorry to say that it just wasn't good, for the price point and just how well they do everything else, I expected better, the cut just didn't do it for me and they use different fries for this and it wasn't nearly as good as their happy hour fries, add to the fact that the sauce was miniscule. Guys if you can't slather your Frites then we have a problem. I will say though there was so many new items on there that I would love to try, so one dish is not going to stop me from coming and again our servers were awesome. Oh and just a reminder their happy hour is Tue to Thur and all day Sunday so make it count!

    Party of 4 for my SIL bday and it was absolute gas! The lychee 75 was tequila based and straight fire. The green goddess salad was mid, though the brussel sprouts can grace my mouth any day that ends in "y". The pork chop and broccolini is from another world and we are blessed to be able to order it here. Come here on a Wed or Sag and pray to the gods you get Pastry Chef Kyle as a server. End your meal with the cookie and you'll be in heaven.

    Hidden little gem in downtown Bothell! It gives spooky but sexy vibes so perfect for a date night. Only ordered their happy hour fries with the curry seasoning and it was pretty good. The fries are similar to McDonald's and crispy! For $6 it was super tasty and filling. Our server was very attentive and communicative. He even told us when he was going on his 10 and asked if we needed anything before hand. He gave us the run down on the menu as well which was nice.

    Kro Bar was absolutely incredible! We went as a group of six and called about a week ahead to make a reservation. They were able to reserve the bar seating area for us, which was perfect. Our bartender, Cameron, was fantastic--cracking jokes all night and happily crafting surprise cocktails for anyone who wasn't sure what to order, which we loved. Every drink was fabulous, and the ambience was just as great. The light bites were also excellent; we tried the Kennebec Shoestring Fries and the Pike Place Nut Trio. We'll absolutely be back for dinner and to explore more of their drink menu soon!

    Went to get some drinks and apps, and was very pleased! It's a small, almost, hole in the wall place, with dark lighting and warm lights. Our server was very nice and was very helpful in explaining everything! She helped me pick out a drink which came in this super cool glass and was delicious. We also got the Burrata and the Winter Bread service as our appetizers. They were both very yummy, the burrata I could've licked the plate clean. I do wish the sizes were a bit larger, or we could've gotten more bread/crostini so there was enough for the amount of spreads. Other than that, everything was amazing, I would definitely go back to try some entrees and even desserts!

    Visited here on a Friday night, it's a smaller space and highly recommended reservations, or it may be up to a 2hr wait for walk-in. This is a great restaurant with a dark, macabre vibe. They have a very creative cocktail menu, I had the Silent Cry which was very tasty. The Burrata appetizer was unique and yummy balance of flavors, and the Desert Rose Brussels Sprouts were superb! I highly recommend this place for a date night or meeting friends. Even though every table was occupied, the service was perfectly attentive.

    Absolutely a fantastic bar experience. Everyone that served/waited on us was friendly and attentive. Great vibes and great drinks!

    Again, we come a year later for a little date night thinking it's been a few months. I learned that for me personally, coming here for drinks only is not worth it. I love their food more than anything. However, dessert not included. This was the third attempt to try their dessert and im done...no more. Despite the beautiful presentation and great ingredients and individually things tasting good, the dessert lacks cohesion. Things just don't go well together and do not compliment each other. The citrus tart with Italian Swiss meringue served with ginger ice cream: The tart shell was a bit too tough but tasty, the curd was tart and delicious but too liquid, the Swiss meringue is delicious and I guess went well with the tartness of the curd. And then there's the ginger ice cream... I don't get it. To be fair I don't think I like ginger flavored ice cream on its own. But I thought maybe it compliments the tart and tried a spoon together. IT DOESN'T! At least not for me. Anyway! Drinks are probably awesome for alcohol lovers. The presentation is superb! The bartender captivates his audience for sure. But I hate the taste of everything I tried here. My husband also did not like his turtle demon. I tried the aqua ardens, which I ordered purely for the bubble effect. Bartender tried to make it sweet for me but I should have replaced Hennessy with vodka. Again, that's a "me" problem... Fun place! Great atmosphere and service. I think this is a lovely place to come for a date night.

    "What We Found In The Jungle" Cocktail topped with a spring of Sage

    Service here by Jaden is simply masterful; she knows what she's doing with those recommendations. And the Kro Burger was the best Happy Hour burger I've ever had--full stop! Thanks so much! We can't wait to be back!

    Kro Bar is a great addition to Bothell! It's a small, intimate and eclectic place that has some of the best cocktails in the area as well as great food. The space is small and narrow, so it's for parties of 4 or fewer. The cocktail menu is divided into a classics section as well as their own. I would definitely go for their take on a Manhattan or Old Fashioned. They can also make any cocktail to order, and i had a really solid Martinez. We started off with the coppa and a brie cheese like cheese which was well done. Our table ordered duck, salmon and pork, and each protein was done really well. I really enjoyed my duck and note that sies are extra but also worth it. Service was great throughout the evening and this is one of those places which I would love in my neighborhood!

    Jason C.

    The cocktails were top-notch, with creative flavors that really impressed. The service was outstanding--super friendly and helpful staff who made us feel right at home. Plus, you can reserve a spot at the bar, which made our night hassle-free. You won't be disappointed!

    Genuinely can't believe I've never been here before! This place is dark and moody with a fun crow aesthetic, representative of Bothell. I thought the interior was so fun and couldn't believe we have something so trendy and cool on the Eastside. I went on a Tuesday night and the place was poppin, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. My first drink came with a smoke bubble on top, which I loved! The drinks are so creative and you can tell that the bartender is an expert at pairing flavors and making unique drinks. Our waitress was friendly and super helpful in breaking down the drink flavor profiles and helping us find something we'd love. I will be back here asap!

Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

Labneh and Caviar - ossetra caviar, ellenos labneh, house made chips - $26 - the house made chips were delicious and goes well with the labneh. Crispy Mushrooms - shiitake & white mushrooms, tempura batter, miso aoli - $14 - cooked perfectly -- a great balance between crispiness of the batter and juiciness of the mushrooms. Sausage Rolls - veal, puff pastry, home ketchup - $16 - tasty, and the house made ketchup was insanely good! Whiskey-Poached Pear Salad - feta, blue glass greens, charred shallot vin - $14 - all the ingredients went so well together. The poached pear was delicious! Let's Riff (custom drink similar to their Mexicali drink that is only reserve for members) $18 For dessert, we tried the Whiskey Brown Sugar Basque Cheesecake - seasonal "burnt" cheesecake $14 - I liked the fact that it's not too sweet. For After Dinner drink, Filty Chai - rhum barbancourt, local chai, espresso, orange bitters - $18. I don't like chai, but I liked this drink! I taste the espresso more than the chai.

    Bring on the beans!!…read more Went here for our anniversary over the weekend and it was our first time. My husband told them this and requested to be by the window. Neither things were acknowledged. When we asked for a table by the window we were told "no, this is taken". Well alrighty then! The hostess was lovely and left us our menus and little black light flashlights. Interesting. I guess kind of cool. Our first drinks were delicious. Homemade limoncello...yesssss! Appetizers were next - hard Brussel sprouts and enough deep fried mushrooms to feed an army. This should have been our first clue that portions would be off...way off. The sausage rolls were lit though. Ready for dinner! Our waiter assured us that the shared chicken dish was "PLENTY" for 2 people. We couldn't hide our shock when it arrived and it wasn't even enough for ONE person. Two tiny pieces of chicken but overflowing with more beans than would ever be necessary for any dish ever. I ended up giving it to my husband and eating the mushrooms from earlier. Oh, the "carrots" that were listed on the menu was one baby carrot cut into thirds. No bueno. At this point we were frustrated, confused and still hungry. Honestly couldn't wait to get out of there except our waiter never came back. I had to go ask for the check on the way out. Awkward. As the waiter ran my card he said "are you mad"? No sir, just underwhelmed. Too much focus on cutesy, hidden menu messages and craft cocktails but not enough focus on getting the food and service right.

Definitely a nice place for beer drinking in the bar or outside on the patio during these springtime days. Not sure of the root cause of the over seasoning, but I'll ask for lighter next time.
