Took a little while to find this place but it was very cute inside. Warm during summer months but there is a back patio. Did not try the food but they had a full bar and cocktail menu. Dark and cozy inside with random decor.

This tucked away dive bar has so much personality! It's places like these that make me love exploring Seattle! Their food was pretty tasty and for a super reasonable price! I love that everything we ordered came with chips and pickles. The pickles are too sweet for me, but it seems popular here as it is it's own item on the menu! The "kids meal" came with chicken tenders, chips, and a jell-o shot!! So cute. I will definitely be here again. Love the atmosphere and friendly vibe

How lucky am I that I can walk down the street to this hidden speak easy bar? Look for the pot shop on the corner, and walk a few feet to the side door and you've arrived. Funky, dark, small bar, but tables inside and outside on their patio. Dog friendly, food offerings, origami paper for you to hone your craft, or watch some sports on the flat screen. Didn't try the food this time, but the cocktails are on point! So is the service. Great neighborhood bar, or if you're on the hunt for speak easy bars- try out this one!

The Toledo would be my go to bar even if Westlake had more to offer! Love the bar tenders and the underground vibe. They often have fun food specials depending on the season. Love their specialty cocktails on a special nice, but always down for a tap pour.

We always see this place walking on dexter but we had never actually visited. It's a small little dive bar with an outside patio. They serve food and speciality cocktails along with your classic full bar service. The Mac and cheese was SO GOOD. The owner is super friendly and provides great service.

Nachos

The happy hour menu is such a steal! $5 draft, $6 well drinks, and $9 wine from 4-6:30 pm!! Got a glass of their Cabernet and it was filled to the brim. The place almost looked like a speakeasy with a small side entrance. But the coziest vibes inside and some nice jazz playing in the background. The nachos were a steal on the hh menu as well! Topped with plenty of queso and guac, I was a fan! Was a nice snack to share with the table and munch on while sipping on some drinks:)

House cocktails

Chill local watering hole. Feels like a hidden gem and will definitely be back. The patio is nice and private and there are plenty of board games on the shelf too. We didn't get any food, but the flatbread they were serving smelled amazing. We got two house cocktails: The Password and The Blind Tiger. Can't wait to try the others!

True dive bar. Nice day to sit outside and we got a table. Brisket sandwich was tasty but tough. The fresh hot cookies were really good.

Service was great as I was quickly led to the bar as soon as I walked in and was quickly greeted by the bartenders. The place has a very fun vibe to it and it was a sight to see all of the bottles and almost elixirs of liquids lining the bar itself. I was recommended two drinks out of the options I had given my bartender. The first was Santiago and saints. It was highly recommended and for good reason. It hit the spot after a humid day and was a refreshing start to my evening. Well balanced, bright, and cucumbery! The second drink I had was the espresso martini and this one was perfectly balanced and creamy! Would definitely come back. The only downside to the place is the price of cocktails. Also insider information I got from locals was to park at the Amazon garage at certain hours which I did for this because it's free during certain hours of the weekdays and weekends.

We came here for my partners birthday. We had a reservation, so we were seated immediately…read more Additionally, the tables are entirely TOO small. We ordered a couple of small bites, and there was barely any space for the plates and drinks. The tables also felt too close together...It was generally pretty quiet, but I could hear the table next to us' conversation as though they were WITH us. I'd noted in the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, there was zero acknowledgement of that, which is fine. I didn't expect the staff to come out the back clapping or anything, but a simple verbal acknowledgement would've gone a long way. Overall, the service overall felt inattentive, which is especially irritating when you see the 22% service fee tacked onto your bill. I really enjoyed the ambiance and the breadth of the menu, so I'd give them another shot, but I'd only get drinks. We went upstairs to their sister bar afterwards and had a much better experience there.

The cocktails here are delicious and balanced with more complexity than you might find at other bars. The one downside of this place is that it's always extremely busy, so you need to make a reservation or you probably won't be able to get a seat. The bartenders here are super knowledgeable and friendly. I love coming here and getting their recommendations on a flight because I know the spirits I'll be trying are esoteric with lots of history. Each unique bottle has history behind when it was selected and where the spirit is coming from. Knowing that history and how it influences the flavors of the spirit is super interesting to me. If you've never been into drinking spirits straight, definitely ask for a recommendation and the bartenders will help you out (Sam specifically knows a bunch about rum). The cocktails are also delicious, most of them are familiar classics with an interesting twist. The Jiminy Cricket, for example, takes a grasshopper and turns it into a spirit forward drink; with a delicious split base of cognac and rum for fruity fermented flavors, branca menta and matcha for the bitter herbal aspects, and creme de cacao to finish off the traditional grasshopper flavors of mint and chocolate.

Well thank you to staff who decided to keep it open because there were few other places open! Dead Line and the sister bar next door both have a few tables but mostly it's the bar ambience/moody academia. We chose to sit by the door and people watch. I got a cherry cider and it was good! We shared a salad, the steak arepa, and the pork arepa. The salad they had on the menu wasn't updated but they had a summer salad with watermelon and it was refreshing and great! The arepas tasted great but were pretty heavy, I think probably because of the sauce. But there wasn't really any way to avoid the sauce. Even splitting amongst three people it was a lot- I think it was still good to try, I liked the steak more than the pork, but I would've only ordered one in the future. Highly recommend visiting during happy hour from 4-6 pm for 20% off your bill.

It's one of those Seattle spots I can keep coming back to and still feel like I'm having a proper night out. Catch me here with the girls, a Bellafonte Cocktail in one hand and the hummus plate somewhere within reach. That combination has yet to fail me. The views obviously do a lot of the heavy lifting when you first walk in, but what keeps me coming back is that the experience doesn't stop there. The staff is consistently wonderful, the food and drinks hold their own, and the atmosphere makes it equally easy to stop in for a cocktail or accidentally stay much longer than planned. Bellafonte + hummus + the girls. Any day of the week.
