Food was fuego, but what is food without service. Cheeseburger delish, but no drink to wash it down, bummer. Hostess sat us, then some jabroni comes through asking if we sat ourselves because we didn't have menus or water. No bud, your hostess did and neglected the 2 basics of seating a 2 top. Anyhew....Some people just get the noid. read more

Great place for amazing drinks and delicious food. Started with some of their house cured charcuterie and recommended cheese selection, add foie gras. But do not skip on the kale salad... yeah I know kale.. salad. We were pleasantly delighted by how well the flavors blended together. Definitely keeping Kro Bar in our rotation. read more

Welcome Kro Bar to the neighborhood! Located off of Main St. in Bothell is this intimate cocktail bar. The space is not very big, so reservations are encouraged. The largest party size they can accommodate is 6 people. Our server was fantastic. She was very welcoming and provided recommendations based on other drinks I have enjoyed in the past. The first cocktail I tried was The Mary Pickford, consisting of Don Q silver rum, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, pomegranate Gomme, lemon, and house pineapple/agave. It was TOO sweet but very tropical and refreshing. After that, I had the All the way from Acapulco cocktail, featuring El Jimador Reposado, Dom. de Canton Ginger, house pineapple / agave, and ruby red grapefruit. Our server described it as a margarita's big sister, but more refined with more mature flavors. It was also fantastic! I was also really pleased with the house made charcuterie. Everything had incredible flavor and was great for sharing. Will definitely be back! read more

We were lucky enough to get a table on opening night! Excellent local spot for inspired cocktails and light bites. We started with the Kro Old Fashioned (spirit-forward with a hint of cocoa), Adventurer's Last Word (well-balanced with a beautiful hue from the Green Chartreuse), and two Mary Pickfords which were deliciously gulpable! Then we moved over to food. We really enjoyed the slightly spicy Braised Pork Belly, Gnocchi Parisienne, Shrimp and Grits (a little heavy on the Cajun heat), and excellent Crispy Skinned Arctic Char. For our second round, we enjoyed the Kro & the Mule, perfect Sidecar and complex Manhattan on Main, and the Curtain Call! You must stop by and spend some time at the bar or in the ultra retro booths for 2 or 4. Cheers! read more

My wife and I FINALLY were able to make it out to Kro Bar! She was pregnant when first opened and now with a 9month old it's not so easy to get out at night. It was well worth the wait! We came after our anniversary dinner for a nightcap which turned into a few night caps. All their cocktails look and sound amazing so we had to at least try a few and we loved everything! The space is super cozy and a nice little bar rail to watch the amazing mixologist make the drinks. Cam is his name and he's amazing! Can't wait to come back and try some food (which all looked delicious coming out of the kitchen) next time. Super happy to have a true fancy cocktail bar in Bothell (one less reason we need to visit Seattle now!). read more

Finally, Bothell has their very own speakeasy bar! We've been to KroBar a couple of times with friends and we are impressed by the well-executed drinks, food, and decor. I highly recommend making reservations, especially on the weekends. Walking into the bar reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's, "The Crows." True to their name, the theme is around crows and the origin of the concept is an intriguing read on their website. Their space has limited seating in a low light setting, which creates the cozy ambience and speakeasy feel. They also decorated the rafters with birdcages. Absolutely love it! The menu has a great list of craft cocktails and they even have Sazerac on tap. My favorite house provisions are the Aqua Ardens, The Silent Cry, and Curtain Call. The Aqua Arden is delicious gin, chartreuse, bergamot, lime, and pama cocktail with vapor infusion using a bubble gun. The Silent Cry has a nice mix of melon, mandarin, yuzu, and Suntory Toki finished with torched Rosemary. Finally, the Curtain Call is sweet and savory drink, reminiscent of kettle corn. It's a mix of bourbon, pineapple lemon, and Faretti Biscotti Liquer. It's served with a garnish of truffle popcorn. Their small plates compliment the cocktail list perfectly. For food, I recommend the braised pork belly, patatas bravas, and marinated olives. For dessert, their caramelized banana cake satisfied my sweet tooth. There's a lot to love about this new local speakeasy bar. It's cozy, convenient, and amazing cocktails are sure to please cocktail connoisseurs! read more

I love Kro bar! I've been coming here with my husband once in a while (probably once every other month) since it opened in Bothell and never have a bad time. I would say the only difficult thing is getting a seat (so make resos if you can) or be prepared to wait till 9pm for walk-in. The other thing is that we love sitting at the bar, and the bar is almost always full! Can't get a spot with the bartender! The food is so good! I love their rotating menu and they serve happy hour now. It's a small menu (and sometimes run out of certain options) but I still enjoy most of the items. The drinks are the highlight of the bar, and they're super creative. I love how it also rotates every season or so but the favorites always stay. The bartender is also friendly and will re-create an old fav if you like it and remember what it's called. read more

Loved this place. Small but has lots of personality! Fairly new but deserves a great reputation. I loved the attention to detail with our drinks, they had specials and very informative responses. Inside is dimly lit and has a smaller food menu, perfect for date night or with a friend. I'm definitely coming back! read more

Kro Bar is really small, but does everything well. Cocktails are unique and legit - I've been twice and yet to be disappointed. While more of a cocktail bar, the food is really excellent... get the gnocchi and foie gras and you won't be disappointed! Keep in mind the fine print on timing for reservations... both times we basically got kicked out since there was a reservation right behind us. This is annoying but policy so I get it given the small space. read more

This would be an amazing date night spot! I got a recommendation from a friend to check out their craft cocktails and I was blown away. The list is quite extensive, but the servers were really kind to explain the different flavors and ingredients listed on different cocktails. I would definitely be back for a girls night or a date! I recommend making a reservation here too. We didn't have a reservation but they said that they could fit us in at 9:30 (a 2 hour wait) and would give us a call when the table was ready. 9:30 rolled around and we didn't get a call so we decided to pop by the restaurant anyway and our table was ready for us. A little odd, but glad we got seated anyway! read more

We had an amazing time at Kro Bar! Our server was named Logan and was super cool, informative and really helpful the entire night. He definitely added that extra spark to our night. Logan mentioned we could challenge the bartender too for off menu drinks. He said the bartender was in special competitions and enjoyed challenges like that. So, we just had to take up the challenge and it was SO awesome how it fit every flavor profile we gave for the challenge. Every drink we tried on menu was awesome too! So tasty. All the food was super flavorful and just right in proportion size. The mushroom risotto was absolutely incredible! This place has a really cool vibe to it. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Loved this experience and will absolutely be back again. read more

Best cocktails in the area Excellent apps Excellent atmosphere Ask for a booth for a romantic evening Ask for bar seating for more community experience & custom cocktails. Reservations needed but we often stop by & they'll have an opening, particularly early in the evening read more

*Nice little cozy bar in the city. Feel like I am in one of those older bar vibe that you see in Broadway movies. *Remember to have reservations. *More like a place for light snack and small bites. The appetizer- Charcuterie Board was the highlight, especially the butter bread that the dish has. read more

Easiest five star rating I've ever given. We had an amazing experience tonight for my boyfriend's birthday. Sunday all day happy hour keeps the price more reasonable but in general, the drinks and food are well worth the price. We were blown away with how everything tasted. What we loved most is that the bartender, Cameron, took the time to explain cocktail techniques to us and is clearly passionate about mixology. The staff was really engaging and the ambiance is approachable. read more

Walked in to a 75% empty dining room at 5pm and was told I could get on the waiting list with an ETA of 10pm. We just wanted to grab a single cocktail on the way to our destination and that was still out of the question. The host was friendly but, surprisingly, was being serious. Just silly. This is the 3rd or 4th time I've tried to stop in with friends for a quick cocktail. Probably the last. Just too tone dead and pretentious. read more

Amazing craft cocktails and a simple yet seasonally delicious food menu that pairs so well with the beverages. It's definitely one of my favorite places to dine and quench my thirst for an adult beverage read more

It's a really good bar with quite impressive delicious cocktail menu. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and welcoming. The food was not impressive though, it was good, but not above that. Risotto was tasteless and I found a hair in there, the duck was better than risotto however this is a cocktail place so low a bit expectations from food. I will definitely come back for more cocktails with some snacks instead of full dish. read more

The cocktails are absolutely amazing. The food is not. Duck breast is not terribly bad, and risotto has no taste. I'd come here back for cocktails - they were amazing, but would never get any more food here, especially for this price. The inside is well decorated and feels like in a high end bar. read more

Drinks are fantastic! Menu is limited. That's the only downside. The decor is unique and eclectic. Always a nice time there!

What a perfect little spot to get some great food and incredibly creative cocktails. The service was phenomenal too from the minute we walked in the door. The hostess Anna was so fun, the server and bartender, all fantastic. Highly recommend the charcuterie, the tomatoes on that thing were straight from the gods, and the meat and cheese selection blended so well. read more

Great ambiance, drinks are delicious. Their oysters are pretty good as well! Might have a wait so call to reserve.

NOT RECOMMENDED I passed by this place a few times and thought it looked interesting, so decided to check it out one night with a friend. We made a reservation for 4pm because it was recommended on the website. Little did we know we would be ASKED TO LEAVE after being there for less than 2 hours. The server came over to our table to let us know that "the next reservation has arrived" and asked if we would like our UNFINISHED DINNER to be boxed up or not. I wasn't sure what to do with my half- filled $16 cocktail (would they give me a TO GO cup for that since we had to leave?). Personally, I wanted to stay seated at the restaurant until I finished my overpriced mediocre meal! That was NOT an option, and the server kept repeating "would you like your food boxed up? The next reservation for your table is here." I DO NOT recommend this unhospitable restaurant. If I could give it 0 stars, I would. Unless you want to pay too much and only want to be there for a short time. NO LINGERING HERE! It looks cute from the outside, but it's NOT worth spending your money here. GO ELSEWHERE!! read more

So much character in food, drinks, ambience, menu, servers, and bill book. Food and drinks are excellent here. Charcuterie meat is soft and flavorful, each accompaniment is interesting to taste by itself. Dry aged duck is amazing, unique texture, skin has herb and roast aroma, both duck and jus are flavorful. Ribeye cooked perfectly medium rare, peppercorn sauce was flavorful especially when you bite into a peppercorn. Mushrooms and black manhattan pair well with this dish. We got 3 drinks and all of them were tasty and interesting to smell. We ended the meal with brownie and vanilla ice cream. The brownie has good strong dark chocolate, the cap has interesting texture and smell. The peaty smell comes a bit after the bite so it took me by surprise. It was lovely and fun. Looking forward to try more! read more

It wasn't a place for me. Service was slow. Full menu wasn't presented to me at the bar so I had to pick from limited options from the bar menu. I would have liked more attention to the need of single customer just as much as the groups on a plus side, Burrata was really good when it finally arrived. read more

This place is an incredible gem in downtown Bothell. Cameron and Sinag are artists. The cocktail menu is unique and very well crafted. Sinag has made us drinks a few times just going off of vague descriptions, likes, and dislikes and nailed it spot on every time. On the menu, the Silent Cry is probably my favorite. They don't have a lot of space so reservations are good to grab, even on weekdays. I really recommend checking it out. read more

Finally writing a review from October 4th -- my first time visiting Krō Bär at the invite of my son and his girlfriend. I loved the abiance right away. Cool art, dark and inviting. My kind of place. We sat at the bar (which I recommend) and ordered cocktails and some small plates to share. We had the Aviation and Grey Matter cocktails. Both were outstanding. I don't like super, sweet cocktails. These were perfect in a "je ne sais quoi" way. We also ordered the gnocchi and burrata to share. Excellent! While the happy hour menu was still in effect we ordered a couple of their burgers to share. They were amazing! I guess my only critique is that the burgers are not on the regular menu. If you don't get there for happy hour you will miss out. Definitely going back to Krō Bär as soon as I can make my way up to Bothell. read more

Small little place on Main Street in Bothell. Somewhat dark inside. Cute decor with nice music playing in the background. Drinks and food are pricey for what you get. The drinks were good, but nothing that made me want to go back. The food was good, yet expensive for the serving. We went with friends and none of us were overly impressed. It was not our vibe. Great service. Try it out for yourself! Make a reservation as it is limited seating and popular since they are still somewhat new and Covid is opening up dining. read more

Just what Bothell needed. I absolutely love this place. As soon as I discovered it, my friend and I made this our ritual spot; fantastic small bites, great cocktails, and great vibes. Cameron and the rest of the staff are awesome, and there's really nothing to complain about. The ONLY gripe I have is that a place this cool should be open until midnight, especially on Friday night. It's a bummer that you have to leave town to have any late night fun. Please consider!! read more

So far so good! Just made a quick visit to the new place in Bothell and I am happy to report they are off to an amazing start! Overall design is super nice, dark, well appointed, small with only around 20 seats plus 10 or so at the bar. Food: only had the duck charcuterie plate and the Pork Rillette on brioche. Duck was great, only thought is the plate could use a little more acid somewhere. The Pork dish was spot on spicy and amazing! Cocktails.....you guys hit it. I have high expectations with cocktails and you all nailed it! Balance and interest along with the flavors were all well planned and well executed! Service.....absolutely perfect for me. Very friendly, professional and relatable. Those things are not easy to accomplish and it is greatly appreciated! My ONLY complaint.....you need to get a curtain in front of the entry door. We were seated at the 2 top closest to the door and every time it opens we were blasted with cold air. Simple fix and I hope that gets done soon as we have a bit of cold weather left! Great job! Keep it up! read more

I have been waiting for 2 years for this local "speak easy" to open in y nighborhood. I it did not dissapoint! I feel fortunate to have been there on opening night. We started with a round of cocktails My husband had the Kro Old Fashioned (spirit-forward with a hint of cocoa, which he loved), Adventurer's Last Word (well-balanced with a beautiful color), and two Mary Pickfords which were a little to easy to drink the Drinks were great so we order a next round, mixing it up a bit with the Kro & the Mule, perfect Sidecar and complex Manhattan on Main, and the Curtain Call! I visit with the bartender made the experience even better. Cameron really knows his stuff and I can not wait to enjoy more of his drinks. Next was the food. I had to orde the potatoes Bravas as I had had them before at The Bine when they wer testing recipes. I will most like get this dish every time I dine here. We also really enjoyed the slightly spicy Braised Pork Belly, Gnocchi Parisienne, Shrimp and Grits (a little spicy for me), and Crispy Skinned Arctic Char. We Found the food to be very good. I was pleased with the variety. As a GF pescatarian, I felt like I had plenty of options. They were also very conscience of my allergy. We were full and had to skip dessert, so I can not comment on that. I quick note about the staff and interior....Kathleen was our server and she was amazing! Like I said she was very aware and considerate of my GF allergy. because she also bartends, she was very knowledgable on the cocktails and was able to give great suggestions. We wer lucky enough to meet the Owner Scott, so we hear all about his vision and how it came together. I was so impressed with the interior and the thoughfulness. They used reclaimed original word to make the table and benches, the decor really gave you that vntage feel which honors the building, and the crows. Make sure to really look around when you dine here and appreciate all the details that make this place special. Also loved the logo, the shape of the water glasses, and crow murals, and my favorite was that they bring you check in an antique book. this is truly a special place that I will return to again and again. Well done! read more

Terrible customer service. I knew when I received a novel about how their time slot system works it would be a weird experience. I arrived on-time to avoid being charged a late fee. I come to find out that some other party was overstaying their allotted time slot and the staff couldn't properly follow their own policy and kick them out. Instead we were told to stand outside to wait for our table, in order to "avoid being hit by the door," when we were the only 3 people waiting in establishment. Mind you it was 37° outside and 9:40pm. This was completely unacceptable and I could not believe the way they go about their customer service and business model. They need a larger space. Glad I did not give them my business and left instead. Completely disgusted. read more

A great vibe with some great cocktails in Bothell downtown. We got a table in 40 min from walking in which meant we grabbed beer and some bites at the place opposite to it.
