I have called (voicemail full) and emailed to try to get a reservation for a large group with no luck. I stopped in to try it out and spoke with the bartender who gave me a card to contact the manager. Hope they get back to me! My experience was good. The bartenders were attentive and made good drinks. The ambiance is nice and cozy with little lamps. I liked the visual menu. I will say that the drinks are a bit overpriced at more than $20 per drink. Down the street at Zig Zag Cafe they are $17 for a bit "finer dining" feel. read more

TLDR: Ambience is amazing. Bartender...not so much. We came here semi-regularly for the past two years, typically bringing in a handful of people with us, because the ambiance is wonderful (chill space, beautiful decor, warm lighting with a romantic feel to it). Unfortunately, the experience is consistently dampened by one of weekend bartenders. As others have mentioned, it's that taller bartender (Alex?) who repeatedly comes across as arrogant and dismissive to us; a less than desirable character trait for a bartender. It's such a pity because that is the sole reason we now lead our groups to spend their money and patronize other establishments instead. Recently we did give Diller another try, but sadly it's the same story and thus this feedback. Hospitality makes a HUGE difference. Bartending isn't just about making a good drink and expecting tips. As someone who tended bar all over Seattle for 23 years, I know how much energy and attitude shape a guest's night. When the service feels cold and passive-aggressively rude, it's hard to feel good about the experience. It's disappointing, because this place has so much potential. Hopefully management considers bringing in weekend staff whose personalities reflect the warmth and atmosphere the space deserves, there are plenty of more qualified bartenders in Seattle that would gladly fill their spot. read more

My friend and I wanted cocktails not far from our hotel and reviews pointed us to The Diller Room. It looks divey but they take their cocktails seriously. We had some excellent Black Manhattans and had a lovely time! read more

Amazing selection! Amazing barrel picks for whiskeys! Service is stellar and top notch. Some of the single pours are outrageously priced which explains why they have so many allocated bottles so full . Haha. The vibes are great! Cocktails are amazing and a half! But single pours....

Saw a show at the Showbox Saturday night and was looking for a bar to chill in for a few drinks. The Diller Room is close to the Market, and close to the Showbox, right by the Hammer Man. The bar has really cool, old school vibes. We were lucky to grab a seat for the four of us. Can only speak to the cocktails, they were strong and delicious. My husband tried an old fashioned with Buffalo Trace- strong, smooth and stiff (insert joke here). I tried the Dillerlicious- yum! There is a whole book of cocktails to choose from! Cool place! read more

Stumbled upon this gem when walking around the waterfront up back to Pike Place! This place seems perfect for a date night: low-lit & intimate. Really homey and loved the interior! So many fun cocktails to choose from and more fancy pours depending on your budget. Most of their hard alc was $20 for a shot and could go up to almost $100, but my boyfriend and I were more than content with our cocktail and old fashioned. Prices were around $20-$25 for a cocktail that comes decorated as shown in the drawings! Loved the attention to detail. What we got: - Geisha's Whisper: small serving but very fresh & couldn't taste the alc. loved the lil decor that came with it! - Old-Fashioned: don't know how they nailed it but had the perfect ice cube and the citrus notes really helped you overcome the insane strength of the whiskey You can also tell the owner loves whiskey by the selection on the wall and we got to learn more about the place from one of the bartenders. The bartender from Macedonia (forgot his name) helping us was so friendly and knew a lot about whiskey, which made our experience here quite authentic and enjoyable. Would love to come back here again (whenever I'm in Seattle) later in the night when it gets busy than the late afternoon to get that full bar night effect. Recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a fun drink! read more

Overall Diller Room is a homey cocktail bar in a prime location near Pike Place. The cocktail menu is both beautiful and extensive, including signature, premium, and standard drinks. At night, the dim lightning emphasized the intimate, classic, and historical vibe of one of Seattle's oldest bars. My girlfriend enjoyed her glass of house wine ($15) and my friends enjoyed their espresso martini + old fashioned ($20+ each). The bartenders were kind and knowledgeable. While it is a prime location in downtown Seattle, I would subtract a star for price as most drinks on the menu would be nearly $30 after tax and tip read more

Classic drinks in a classic cocktail bar atmosphere. Drinks are in the $15-20 range. But they have a lot of classics and they make a good drink. Tends to get busy after area shows let out and it tends to be a hang out for performers from what I've seen. read more

First time visit after Seahawks game (suggested by family member). Love this place! It is eclectic and hip. Love the vibe here. I was drinking mocktails because I had some beers at the game and needed to be clearheaded. This is definitely a younger crowd. Totally dig that. It's cozy and intimate as well. It is louder than I would like for conversation but it wasn't too bad. I love the drink menu. The artist renderings of the drinks were lovely. I wish they listed the artist as I would look them up for a compliment! I feel bad that I was not able to imbibe the drink fare here. I think it makes for a great time. Come on down and check it out! read more

The Diller room is one of the oldest bars in Seattle. Started in 1894, they have been pouring drinks for patrons for over 100 years. This bar is one of my go to for night caps. The interior has a classic and timeless feel. The pressed tin ceiling and original brickwork adds a classy vibe to the bar. The bar has a good amount of seating room. They also have a back seating area offering the same classy vibes. Outdoor patio seating is available and is perfect people watching while sipping on a craft cocktail. This bar features a massive collection of over 900 whiskeys and a decent list of cocktails. I've had their Espresso Martini, Manhattan, and even a Vesper. My favorite drink to get here is the Old Fashioned and served with a large ice cube. This bar does get packed at night. Service is top notch and I've always had a fantastic experience. Pricing is on the higher side. An Old Fashioned is about $22. I've never tried their food and that will be the next on my to do list. read more

My friend and I stopped in for drinks before going out for the night. The cocktails were creative and honestly delicious. You can tell a lot of care goes into the drinks. The location is perfect too, especially if you're already downtown near Pike Place Market. Definitely a great spot to start the evening, and I'll absolutely be back! read more

Classic Seattle bar for sure. I stopped in after visiting the Seattle Art Museum and it's one of the closest bars in the area, which makes it an easy move post-museum. Dive bar vibes with a down-to-earth, personable bartender who definitely had a heavy hand, which I appreciated. Drinks were on the pricier side, but that feels like the standard downtown Seattle tax. Overall, a cool spot to pop into once, especially if you're already nearby. Probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to, but no real complaints. read more

Easy local cocktail bar for a quick drink. I really liked their menu layout with photos for all their drinks! (Didn't take any menu photos, oops!) Drinks were good. Solid spot. Nothing overly memorable, though they had this folded paper crane on a toothpick that was pretty cool, which I kept as a keepsake. :) read more

Randomly walked past this place while we were on the way back to hotel... the array of AMAZING bourbons through the window caught our eye. We swung through and marveled at the selection for a bit before checking on some pricing and eventually settling on a pour of some prior editions of Old Fitz. They had a couple other options we wanted but there were either out of stock or priced way more than we wanted to spend. The service was good and this is a great spot to swing through for a high class pour pending your budgets. read more

We're visiting from out of town and decided to grab a drink across the street after dinner. It took forever to get our drink orders in, and the bartenders were insanely rude and passive aggressive. They ended up charging is over 20% gratuity without giving us the option to choose the tip ourselves, which is fraudulent and just foul considering how terrible the service was. Drinks were overly priced and mediocre at best. They were way too overly sweet for my taste, it felt like I was drinking a popsicle or lollipop. I would skip this for another local craft cocktail bar read more

Visiting Seattle, we were super excited to go to The Diller Room after seeing it on Yelp--it was only a short walk from our Airbnb and the aesthetic looked right up our alley in pictures. To The Diller Room's credit, it was in the right location as promised and was really cute & vibey both inside and out. We also appreciated the descriptive cocktail menu with stylish depictions of all the signature cocktails. We got two cocktails with the intent to order another two; the old fashioned was good (kind of hard to mess up an old fashioned), but the cherry blossom whiskey sour (I forget what they called it) tasted like... nothing? It had a vague sourness that was sort of the only thing we took away from it. Didn't even finish it. We got the olives and a pepperoni pizza, as well. The olives came swimming in a cold liquid that was reminiscent of Italian dressing, with only cheap little wooden skewers to try to fish them out--unfortunately the dish the olives were in rocked back and forth when you tried to get an olive which made it really difficult. We almost resorted to just using our fingers, which would be fine, as long as you don't mind dunking your fingers in the aforementioned cold oily liquid. The olives themselves tasted fine except for the weird liquid they were in. We weren't given a dish to discard the pits into like you normally see. We each ate one olive. The pizza was mostly inoffensive, but was pretty flavorless except for the sauce that was vaguely reminiscent of spaghettios. We finished the pizza. It would be something you'd be pretty happy to get at a movie theater or a bowling alley, but we were bummed to have wasted a meal eating it. The service was not good. The server who took our order at our table was curt and fidgety and looking around while we ordered... it kind of felt like we were bothering him to order. After our drinks and food came out (in maybe an average amount of time, to their credit), nobody ever stopped back by. After a half hour I just went to the bar and asked for my check. Our server was working the bar, as well, and didn't seem to register that I had to get up from the table to go to the bar and ask for my check. We were really disappointed, honestly. Would never come back. read more

this is a fun spot for a night out, it's small and intimate, has a moody/dim vibe inside. lots of bar seats and tables, even a pretty spacious room in the back. drinks are creative, but definitely spirit forward and a bit on the higher end price wise (most were around $20!!!) i believe they also rotate some menu items, which keeps things exciting. we also got a pizza to share, i think it's the perfect size for two people to share for a meal or maybe three people if just snacking. pizza is a crispy thin crust, and just a good standard pizza, not doing too much or too little. read more

The Diller Room - Mutiny on the Bounty and Flamingo Room Punch - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Celebrated my birthday at the Diller Room last month. A bit of a chance for a Friday night at a downtown bar, but we walked in around 8pm as a group of 12 or so, and they weren't too busy to accommodate us. Maybe birthday luck as the place filled out quite a bit over the couple hours we were holed up in there, but I'll take it. This historic bar is dimly lit, long and narrow with tables, bench, and bar seating, and it opens up in the back, which is the area we sort of took over. The bartenders were friendly and put out a self-serve water station at the end of the bar for us. Their drink menu is extensive, and on the expensive side around $20 per for specialty cocktails. I started with the Naked & Famous (Los Vecinos Mezcal shaken with yellow chartreuse, aperol, fresh lime. Served up) and found it too sweet to finish. Several others remarked on their various drinks being sweet as well. Sort of surprised by that at a place that claims to serve the best cocktails in Seattle. In my opinion, they needed to be better balanced to showcase the spirit. I switched to straight tequila after that which I think was a good move. Food is available from Tra Due Leoni next door (personal pizzas, cheese & charcuterie boards). I tried a slice of the margarita pizza and it was tasty. As the Diller Room itself is just a bar without a kitchen, they do allow well behaved dogs inside which was a bonus. All in all I like the vibe and that I can have a drink with my bff (best four-legged friend), but I don't love the steep prices, and now I know to stick with the basics as far as drinks are concerned. read more

The pizza was pretty decent. I tried the mushroom and my partner got the pepperoni. Unfortunately his pizza seemed to get lost or forgotten until we checked with the bartender. He didn't get his until I had eaten almost all of mine. The cocktails were really good though! A really unique and cool menu. It's quite close quarters with seating but has an old timey dive bar feel. Would def come back for the drinks. read more

They do have food options- but we did not try any as we had dinner plans beforehand. One of the best cocktails I have ever had was at the Diller Room: the Diller-ricious (blueberry vodka, shaken with lemon, muddled cucumber, and blueberries). They have a wide variety of specialty cocktails for all kinds of tastes and preferences. We went twice during our Seattle Trip. On Wednesday night, there was only one bartender for the whole place and orders got backed up. On Thursday night, there were two bartenders, and drinks were out faster. The vibes are great. Great place for drinks with friends or for after work. I highly, highly recommend it! read more

Let me start off by saying the ONLY reason Im giving this place ANY stars is because one of the bartenders we had was super sweet & made some great daiquiris. Christian was the only good thing about our time here aside from the drinks. The other bartender however was extremely rude. He yelled at me simply for asking him what his name was & then told me not to speak to him. "Shane" So my friend & I left & took our business elsewhere where we also later found out the bartenders actual name was Alex. Will not be returning if he's there. read more

If you are looking for the quintessential classic all american real bar with great spirits, go no further. It's a nice little quaint bar with low lighting and a nice speak easy demeanor. The service was impeccable, and the bartender was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping decide what we wanted. We just had a little snack of the marinated olives and Flatbread. The bread was amazing. The olives were good, except there was way too much acidic by way of lemons. The olives were way too lemony....it was similar to olives in unsweetened Lemonade. The drinks were amazing. This place has an entire full bar of spirits, wine, etc. This includes an extensive display of Japanese whiskeys, Mezcals, Tequilas, Bourbon, Scotches, Wines, and more. You can't go wrong for any drink you would like. This is an old school bar with a great selection of spirits and bartenders. I opted for the Mexican Revolver, which basic terms is an espresso martini made w/ Mezcal. Two of my favorite things combined to make a smooth smoky Heavenly drink. If you are ever in the Pike Peak Market area and want a drunk made right without all the fuss & no hipster vibes drop on in, you won't be disappointed. read more
