    a man and woman at a bar

    How fun! We found the vault. It was definitely a nice intimate setting. I will say the music was a little too loud for my liking. I especially liked the homage paid to the seattle underground by the details in the ceiling. It was a great end to a date night. We got one drink and left.

    My friend and I are collecting stamps for the Mcmenamins passport. We always enjoy the hunt for hidden rooms and this one did not disappoint. I did not get a drink but the place was packed. Cute, small hangout.

    Saturday night, exploring a McMenamins in Tacoma when we overheard talk of this allusive speakeasy. We were able to find the two super secret entrances to this place and were immediately raving about the small space. It was cold though (I was in a summery dress, go figure) Drinks were STRONG. But delicious. Pricy, but worth it. We took our drinks from this bar and wandered around the hotel exploring. Loved it so much.

    An interesting little spot, tucked away in a "secret" place within the building. The single person bar & small space that we found empty when we visited, so we were quickly served & were able to just hang out. We didn't stay long due to the big temperature of the room and overall dullness Overall I found it to be a small place where the vibe drives the mood. Expensive drinks overall for the building. It'd be fun to explore each of the bars and find a niche for yourself.

    Very excited to find this secret bar! I loved the hidden door. I have always wanted to check this place and happy I finally got the chance! I love the vibe and decor. The secret door is probably my favorite thing can't wait to go back with my sister.

    Loved the adventure of finding the place. The bartender was top tier and made us drinks off a past menu when describing what kind of drinks we liked. There isn't a ton of seating in there but it makes it intimate. Don't bring your large friend group in here, because you will disturb the vibe and crowd people.

    Very good but limited Polish food selections in a nice atmosphere with great service. Great to patronize a new business.

    It's a nice place to relax but can get very busy as These hidden bars are often quite popular with McMenamins customers.

Definitely speakeasy with a little nautical vibe. Super cute! Service is solid. No issues there. We just got some lite bites to share but it was all tasty. My manhattan seemed watered down. I got the negroni which was much better.

    Awesome ambiance, tiny tables. As the bar in the only hotel in Innsmouth, it does the town credit…read more We didn't encounter any Deep Ones in our brief visit. We dialed in so that the hidden door could be opened and let us pass. This a great looking place hidden away in Stadium. The drinks menu is extensive and the galley menu looks great. Our party of three was seated at a two-top but that may have been because we accidentally made reservations for two and then emailed about a change. We ordered two Viking Fogcutters and a Miskatonic Mistake for drinking along with some focaccia and deviled eggs for munching. That pretty much fills the entire table. The drinks were great! The bread and eggs were very tasty. The focaccia was super fluffy and warm. We added three salmon chowders to eat after devouring the eggs and focaccia. The three large bowls barely fit on the table but we made it work. The chowder and biscuits were awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful (certainly not part of the Esoteric Order of Dagon).

The atmosphere is warm and lively, the location is perfect, and the entire staff made the experience feel elevated without being pretentious. We had a 5:15 dinner reservation and the restaurant was already packed, which honestly says a lot. The staff was incredibly kind and knowledgeable about both the wine list and menu, and every recommendation felt thoughtfully curated. The food was phenomenal. We have the chef special which was a chicken skin dish and the short rib pasta with the added burrata; flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. You can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. Definitely one of those places that feels just as good for a casual night out as it does for celebrating something special. Already looking forward to coming back.

Happy hour menu now is pretty bleak. My negroni was excellent but the old-fashioned flavor was off and seemed watered down. The bacon wrapped dates had only two dates on a stick for $6! Wish they would at least write quantity (2) on the menu if not give 3-4 as a tapa. They were out of bread buns for the HH burger even though it was 4:30pm and so we got the regular menu potato croquettes instead. They were ok but essentially just 4 giant tater tots for $14. I miss the pickled veggies with pimiento cheese and bread! And their happy hour with pasta used to be the bomb.

We walked in and the host was having a conversation with one of the wait staff and instead of greeting us and asking us to hold one for a second while they finished up, they ignored us, and continued talking for probably a full minute before acknowledging we were there. O get needing to finish a thought or tell someone something important about something going on that night, but at least greet your guests and ask them to wait a minute. Feels like common courtesy.

Sunday Sip's were previously at a different venue but just recently it started here and it's a great place for this event. I have always liked the food here and we have gone here twice now in recent times not only for the Sunday Sip but also for a meal with friends. The mixed cocktails are great as is the food which I have always been partial to. Out of the recent visits I had an amazing torta, something I haven't had in a long time and a bowl with their tequila chicken for the meat which was also excellent. The more I come here the more I like it having it come at five stars at this point and time.
