    You are welcomed with a glass of champagne. Reservations recommended but I walked in on a Wednesday afternoon and was able to snag a spot. Peter was so attentive and h

    The good doctor knows how to concoct the best potions. The Doctor's Office was everything my partner and I needed after our eventful trip in Seattle. Subtle, vibey, and as advertised, a hard to find speakeasy. We passed by it once and didn't realize because the door was so inconspicuous. But when you're inside, you know you're in the right place. Josh, the doctor for the day, has everything covered and is able to recommend the best things on the menu including his own cocktail "Long Story Short". Unlike the robotic service we were getting everywhere else, Josh is a doctor of both the mind and the body. He's a great conversationalist and a master of good hospitality. The cocktails spoke for themselves with our favorite of the night being the Beachcomber Paloma (a lusciously creamy yet refreshingly fruity cocktail) followed closely by the Long Story Short and the Jiminy Cricket. If you need a cocktail that's strong on the alcohol, the Jiminy Cricket will hit you like a truck and leave you slurring your words for the rest of the night while still being a tasty cocktail. The classic Negroni and Marants Fizz were also had for the night and were well executed. To absorb the alcohol, we got ourselves some olives and almonds (much needed salt!). Don't walk, run to the Doctor's Office. Get your fix of the medicine you need and stumble down the hill to your downtown Seattle hotel.

    The Doctor's Office in Seattle's Capitol Hill is a tiny, reservation-only bar with just 12 seats and a reputation for delivering one of the city's most refined cocktail experiences. Founded by Dr. Matthew Powell--an actual physician--the bar features a meticulously curated global spirits collection served by the ounce or flight, along with classic, contemporary, and bespoke cocktails. Powell's scientific approach even includes listing alcohol content by grams on the menu. The bar's origin story is as dramatic as its drinks. Powell opened The Doctor's Office while recovering from a severe foot injury sustained in a rooftop fall, all while working grueling hours on COVID wards. Despite financial hardship, he poured everything into the bar, which is now nationally recognized and known for its philanthropic efforts - including selling $500 shots of Pappy Van Winkle and offering Pap Smirs (a Pappy boilermaker with a Smirnoff Ice) to benefit Planned Parenthood. The space itself is cozy and elegant, with a marble bar, plush seating, and a quirky polka-dot bathroom featuring a high-tech Japanese toilet. The experience feels personal, indulgent, and worth every penny. Cheers.

    I was visiting Seattle for the first time and decided to check out this speakeasy vibe cocktail bar. I made a same day reservation and found out it's small inside but also a timed experience. You get a warm towel and glass of sparking wine to start. They have QR code for menu which has many liquor forward beverages. It was hard to pick but I love the presentation of all the drinks I had. You do pay a deposit that is taken off from your total. I only got one drink which was great and the deposit covered the drink plus tip for $25. So definitely on the pricier side of cocktails ranging from $19-$25. I love the bathroom so many polka dots and they use the hand towels as well.

    This place is a straight-up cocktail flex. The bartenders are insanely knowledgeable and somehow manage to be both precise and fun about it. Every drink is thoughtfully crafted and tastes like nothing you've had anywhere else - no gimmicks, just excellence. The spirit selection is elite and constantly evolving, which makes every visit exciting. Mezcal lovers, this is your spot! Rare bottles, handled with care, that you won't easily find elsewhere. Trust the bartender, order boldly, and accept that this bar will reset your standards... and be addicted - responsibly!!

    A small lowkey speakeasy in cap hill. It's kind of hard to find since the windows are boarded up from the outside. On the inside, it's definitely a vibe. There's a counter with just a few seats. Definitely make a reservation here since they're usually booked out. The drinks are great too. Most of them are premade though, so you won't be able to make any alterations to them. Bartenders here are friendly and make for good conversation!

    This was the coolest cocktail bar I've ever been too! There are about 10 seats in the entire place, giving it a very intimate feel, especially with the dimmed lights at night. There were a ton of cool cocktail options on the menu, with a pretty extensive liquor list as well. The only downside is it is limited to an hour so you do have to kind of pick up the pace if you want two cocktails, or just drink one slowly over the course of an hour.

    yooooo, you need to check out this bar if you want a good time. We came here during vacation on a Wednesday night and this was one of our favourite experiences in the city! Peter was our bartender and brings the type of energy we love in a bar. This is a great place for people who appreciate a good cocktail and want an intimate setting, but are also open to great banter with a bartender who's also having a good time themselves! Drinks: this is the first bar we've been to that is on tock. We were like "whattttttt? Whyyyyy? That's only for expensive restaurants but whatever, we're on vacation. Let's give it a try" It is $25 pp reservation but that gets deducted from your total bill. The menu was huge and felt really unique with all the descriptions. We had a fun time picking out drinks. We got the Manhanttan, Vesper, Spanish Coffee, bartender's choice, a flight of 4 glasses of Cognac, and a flight of 3 glasses of Mezcal. They were all made so well! My husband particularly liked the flights. He really appreciated how he could try different spirits in one setting, and how Peter was so knowledgeable about all of them and had fun creating these flights. Service: it was great!!!! It's the type of place where the bartender gives people space but also welcomes good conversation. We felt that Peter went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had a good time. To put into context, we werent going to drink that much on a Wednesday night, but it was just too fun. Atmosphere: very chill and vibey! The outside looks spooky but then you go through the doors, and you see how super cute it is! The bar has 6 seats, a small table for two and then a cute corner couch. WOULD I COME HERE AGAIN?! Yes!!! This is a fun place for people who really appreciate a GOOD cocktail and want to be in an intimate setting.

    Excellent drinks

    Second round and same result : great cocktails and service. One of the top bars for a reason.

    Very intimate and small space with interestingly artistic interior that creates a unique vibe. Drink options are unique, they are all well crafted by Peter, our super friendly and attentive bartender. The bathroom is pretty cool too. Noise level is very quiet, so it's a great place to have deeper and more meaningful conversations. However because of how quiet it is, almost anything you talk about will easily be overhead by the bartender and other patrons in the space, so be a bit careful if the conversation gets cringy or too personal, because they are exposed haha. Overall, had a great experience here, would totally recommend.

    Ordered two drinks, it was an okay spot, definitely better places in Seattle you don't need this whole process of a reservation for.

    Awesome establishment. Stopped in for a few drinks late on a weekday. Very welcoming environment. For a while we had the place all to ourselves. Really enjoyed the drinks and the conversation with the bartender. Good menu and off menu cocktails. Really appreciate that the drinks are spirit forwards and they don't use lots of juices and sodas. Amazing spirit selection. Will most definitely be back.

    Went there after my fiance and I got engaged. We had booked incorrectly for 2 people instead of 4 and the bartender was so helpful and accommodating. He gave great service and we had a wonderful time

    Deep Dive is my favorite cocktail bar in Seattle. The decor is incredible: Very speakeasy vibes,…read moreand every detail feels thoughtful and elevated. The whole space has this intimate, luxurious atmosphere that makes the experience feel special the moment you walk in. We tried the Japanese Breakfast, which is a savory cocktail and such a pleasant surprise. It genuinely has miso soup notes. It's very unique and creative. I also had El Boho (flavorful but not overly sweet). The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending drinks. The prices are on the higher end, but personally I think they're totally worth it for the creativity and overall experience. This is the spot I bring all my out-of-town friends to because the ambiance, vibes, and drinks are just that good. Truly one of Seattle's gems.

The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.

We arrived around 5:00 PM and were greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable mixologist. While looking over the menu, he asked what I typically enjoy drinking. I told him I'm a big fan of an Old Fashioned, and he suggested an Eagle Rare Old Fashioned. It was, without question, one of the best Old Fashioneds I've ever had at any establishment. The balance of flavors was outstanding, and the attention to detail was obvious from the first sip. I was so impressed by both the drink and the overall experience that I asked him how he made it and what ingredients he used so I could try to recreate it at home. While I'm probably only 90% of the way there, I'll never quite match the perfection he achieved that evening. The atmosphere, service, and cocktails were all exceptional. If you're looking for a great speakeasy experience in Seattle, I highly recommend checking this place out.

    Instagram : @yeapeats…read more I was excited to try Needle & Thread since it's often described as a speakeasy, but the "hidden" aspect didn't quite live up to expectations. Unlike other speakeasies that feel truly hidden, you actually just walk into Tavern Law, check in with the hostess, and let them know you have a reservation. They then guide you to a telephone where you repeat your reservation name before being let upstairs. It's a fun concept, but not especially secretive, and they're pretty strict about not letting you up early unless it's very empty. Once seated, we actually waited almost 20 minutes before being served with no acknowledgement. We ended up having to flag down the manager just to bring attention to our table, which was disappointing given the experience they're aiming for. The waitress asks a series of questions about your preferences--likes, dislikes, and flavor inspirations--so the bartenders can create custom cocktails for you. If you're knowledgeable about alcohol, this is probably a dream. If you're not (like me), it can feel a little intimidating, but our waitress was patient and did her best to guide us through it. The drinks themselves were excellent. Even the shots were customized, which was a nice touch. The vibe upstairs is chill and relatively quiet, making it a great place to relax and talk. Food is the same menu as downstairs at Tavern Law, so nothing new there. The only downside--and unfortunately a noticeable one--was an interaction with the female bartender (not our waitress). Based on the questions we were asked, my friend gave a mix of savory and sweet preferences, since we were told these were just inspirations. However, the female bartender came over sounding visibly annoyed and said, "So do you want savory or sweet? You're giving contradicting answers." The tone felt unnecessarily rude, especially since we were just following the process as it was explained to us. Overall, the drinks were great and the concept is unique, but between the delayed service and that negative interaction, it definitely put a damper on the experience.
