Tanner and team are awesome. Such a cute bar with super high quality cocktails. They always have seasonal options and so many fun events going on. They have piano night and cocktail making classes. They also serve flatbreads if you're hungry.

Have been here a number of times and this spot is worth the hype. Cocktail program is clearly a work of passion: interesting flavor combinations, scratch ingredients and lots of fun. Imo, one of the best menus in the city is tucked away at this place in West Seattle.Our bartender, Tanner, was phenomenal. Makes holding down a busy shift look effortless even while he's zooming around. Happy to talk about the drinks and their processes. Super friendly and enthused. What a gem.Prices feel reasonable despite the high level of work being done. Try everything and trust your bartender here!

I went for the first time for West Seattle Silent Bookclub. It was full, but not congested as they have many small tables and an upstairs area. Waiters were attentive and helpful, they bring glasses and a water bottle to the table and make sure it's refilled as necessary. The cocktail menu is great and there's a good selection of non alcoholic fancy drinks too. Wine and beer menus are small with a good selection.Parking: There is a small parking lot next to the building for customers & it was full as there are several businesses that share it. Bartell Drugs is behind the building and Metropolitan Market is on the same side of the street as you approach it, but would only be good for short visits. I parked about 2 blocks up the street in the residential area past the library, but felt lucky to find the spot. Plan on arriving early to get parking.

Such a wonderful cocktail lounge! Friendly staff as soon as we walked in. Cozy and intimate seating for both small and medium sized groups. A little loft for additional seating that overlooks the main bar. A great selection on the main menu with a fantastic seasonal supplemental menu — we ordered some off the Christmas themed one. Let the other high ratings speak for themselves. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Paper straws and good drinks don't pair, hoping for some good grub and I'm sure the flatbreads are great but there is more to life. My drink was good until my straw expired. Next spot

This place warms my heart every time. The staff is the best and the drinks are perfectly crafted. Good for specialty nights of silent book club and dueling pianos but also for a solo bar top experience. Come for the curated craft cocktails and stay for the convivial atmosphere and spot on music choices ?

Drinks are very good, but service is consistently very slow. We have been 4 times, each time it is 30 min for a drink while half the people in the place have empty glasses. Last week there was just only one guy behind the bar making drinks and flatbread, plus washing glasses and managing payments. I felt bad for him bc it was a hole you knew he was never going to climb out of as people kept walking up to order.
