Our first experience with this spot was some years ago. After we moved to SlWest Seattle, another one popped up in the old Feedback Lounge, a while after Beveridge Place Pub moves across the street. So, most of our experience has been in the larger space on Beveridge Place & California (Morgan Junction). Going to a show at the Moore, we stopped in a bit early, and did a short happy hour bar hop. No doubt, the staff are accomplished, and the cocktails rocked. Though he mentioned the French fries had a beer batter type coating on them, so we went for the tots which were a tad salty. I mean, fried food... well within norms. Next time, we'd probably ask for them 'no salt.' Decent prices, not sure if the Sunday early evening is a normal slow time, but we appreciated it. Parking in BellTown, sort of a crap shoot with regular crowded times. We'd go.back, but we have another in our neighborhood.

Stopped here for a quick drink with some friends. They have a really nice whiskey collection with some nice cocktail selections as well. We took an old fashion with rye whiskey, Manhattan, whiskey sour and an amrutt scotch. I also took the cheese cake which was good. It was not very busy when we went but then again it was a Sunday afternoon. Overall a nice place and definitely worth checking out.

Friendly Spot with Flexible Whisky Pours The Whisky Bar was a nice stop—the bartender was super cool, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Prices were generally average, although a few of the pours leaned on the higher side. The real highlight here was their flexibility in offering smaller pours (0.5 oz and 0.25 oz), allowing whisky enthusiasts to taste interesting and niche bottles at just a fraction of the full-pour price, around 1/3 to 1/6 the cost. Their whisky selection was good, featuring some lesser-known and intriguing options that made exploring their menu enjoyable. The relaxed atmosphere and approachable staff added positively to the experience, making it a comfortable place to casually sample whiskies. If you're in the neighborhood, it's definitely a worthwhile spot to drop by and enjoy a dram or two without needing to commit to full pours.

Nice bar with great ambiance, the price is reasonable. The fish n’chips is pretty good here, crispy with great portion. The Old fashioned has a strong fragrance of citrus. Personally I think it is great but might not be ideal for heavy drinkers. The Smokey and the Bandit is a little sweet for me, but the scotch fragrance is pretty strong and blended pretty well. Overall, a recommended bar at downtown Seattle!
