Awesome and special experience at The Founders Club. By reservation only Speakeasy tucked behind a bookcase entrance, unique and creative cocktails, and excellent personal service. Thank you!

Great cocktails! I have been coming to the Founders club for years, last night I noticed some patrons leaving the "secret" door open upon their exit. It's a Speakeasy spot and cool, fun vibe, atmosphete, and why we have been coming for years. Hopefully last night was an exception and they don't lose the cool vibe of the actual Speakeasy experience.

Unfortunately our group was not a fan of this exclusive speakeasy. We were two couples out for drinks and small plates in a classy bar. The waitstaff was not dressed to impress, lacked polish and not attentive enough. We had one round of drinks and left (we had planned for multiple rounds). Great space, great concept, bad delivery.

The founders club was such a fun experience! The cocktails are amazing and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. The staff were all very friendly as well. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an intimate cocktail lounge.

Excellent atmosphere - they were able to accommodate our party of 7 for a special birthday party, instead of making us sit separately. Service was top notch, drinks and bites were delicious. 10/10

Marcel

Excellent as always. Never a dull time, but I do miss my old staff members (Anne and Frederico)!

We love the Founder's Club. We had discovered it during a Woodinville Whiskey event and wanted to share it with our daughter and son in law. The ambiance is so classy and the drinks delicious.

Off menu drinks weren't made correctly and what was served had little alcohol in it. Incredibly expensive for generic alcoholic drinks. Fun atmosphere and the servers were exceptional. I would recommend this place for the ambiance but that is it. I will not be back.

Justin

Wanted to like this so much but unfortunately it was everything I didn't want. Reviews online said it was an intimate environment, NOT! Our party of 4 was placed at a table with a couch and wrap around ottoman. We were so far away from the table I had to sit on the edge just to reach my glass. It was so loud in there that I couldn't even hear the people sitting across from me. The service was so slow, it took 15 minutes before our orders were taken and we were only checked on once in our 90 minutes after that. Even the cool entrance couldn't get me to come back to this overpriced loud cocktail bar.

The space is hidden, cozy and unique, and it's pretty cool to enter through a bookcase. Franco, our bartender, was friendly as well as talented--the drinks were tasty, as was the food (the sliders were particularly yummy). We read other reviews and knew what we were getting ourselves into re sticker shock, but it's still sticker shock. I'm happy my birthday only comes around once a year.

We had a 7:00 reservation, entered the beautiful spot and got seated. The hostess specifically told we had 90 minutes ONLY. Fine, worked for us. But, the waiter never came. Not once. At 7:25, we walked out after many unsuccessful attempts to get noticed. All this nonsense for an overpriced cocktail.
