The noise was louder than expected, but there were two men at bar next to us speaking louder than necessary. With the music, bartender chatter and the loud talkers made it an uncomfortable experience. It may have been better at a table, but there were very few of them and unavailable. Considerable expense: two drinks (one NA) and small appetizer was $100 before tip. Expensive even by Seattle standards.
The experience was fun from the get-go, with the "sneaky" opening of the bookcase to let us in. Inside, the ambience definitely had a "speakeasy" feel to it, with velour, low lighting, and mirrored ceiling. We were offered seats at the bar, which was not yet occupied, so we chose to be right in the middle, to be able to watch the action. The bartender was amiable and amenable to chatting when she wasn't too busy. She also did not disappoint when it came...
Founders Club is truly a speakeasy - the kind that would easily hit the mark in any elite city across the globe. We're lucky to have it in Seattle. Part of its charm naturally comes from its 'hiddenness', but inside it is simultaneously relaxing and yet energizing. It is simply perfect for smaller groups, and yet a well focused solo traveler could also comfortably enjoy the experience. The cocktail menu is one you won't find anywhere else - truly original ideas...
