Great after work bar, going out bar, and anything bar! Best cocktails in the square, creative and delicious and not overpriced. So happy I found this gem.

Didn’t get food but the ambience and drinks are amazing. On a street full of packed bars, this is a laid back spot worth your time.

Was hoping to enjoy this place after reading some decent reviews. Place smelled like burning plastic and was filled up with smoke upon entering. Gross! I thought there was a fire in the back or something but she said they burn sometime intentionally.?! Like what. Ewwww. Couldn’t even be in there. Had to leave promptly and had a headache for a while after only be in there for a minute or so. Service person was a real piece of work too, extremely rude. Would give 0 stars if I could! Do yourself a favour and find somewhere to go!
We popped in here before a concert to grab dinner and some drinks. We got there on a Friday right after 4pm when they opened. Immediately as soon as we opened the door we were met with a strong, foul odour that burned the nostrils. My sister asked the bartender if something was burning, and the lady responded with “I just burned (something - cant remember what it was)”, and my sister laughed and the lady snarkily replied “what’s so funny?!” We asked to see a menu for food and she pointed to the wrinkled up QR code on the bar.
Absolutely would not recommend this place - we promptly left. We still smelled the stink on our clothes for blocks after leaving!

Be cautious of the overly positive reviews—many of them seem disingenuous or misleading.
I decided to visit this establishment based on the positive reviews I saw online, but unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The atmosphere was unpleasant — the space was poorly maintained, and there was a strong foul odor that lingered in the air. The staff behavior also raised concerns — I noticed multiple instances of employees peeking around the kitchen entrance in a way that felt unprofessional and unsettling.
Despite being seated for over 30 minutes, I was completely ignored while other guests were served around me. I ultimately lost my appetite and stayed only to wait for my ride.
Based on this experience, I would not recommend this place.
I absolutely love this place. If you're in Seattle and you visit the pioneer square neighborhood, definitely put this one on your to-do list. The cocktails are fantastic, I had a great old fashioned! The food is tasty. (Try the Burger with fries and tell me that they don't give you a bit of nostalgia.)
The staff is all around awesome and the atmosphere in there is so cute. I love the piano. I'm Not going to lie I wanted to hop on it just to see if it worked.
The accessibility is very good in here. I'll touch on that in the next section about wheelchair accessibility. If you're in a mobility device don't fret and give this place a try!

What a delightful gem in Pioneer Square! Love the vibe of how they really incorporated the historic building. Drinks were phenomenal and the fries with my burger (which was also delicious!) are worth coming back alone. Great place, can’t wait to return!

Great smash burgers and cocktails. I liked the atmosphere, it felt laid back and not as pretentious as other places Pioneer Square but definitely not a dive bar either.

Drinks were really good. Service is abysmal. Although not very crowded, the two bartenders meandered through their tasks with no care about the queue. It was impressive how well they managed to avoid interacting with people waiting to order drinks. I can only imagine how much money is lost due to lack of service.
