Weak, sweet drinks, mediocre, unhealthy food, and a credit card surcharge.

Ive been to this bar for the first time recently and have visited multiple times quickly afterwards. The pizza was surprisingly tasty and fresh, the cocktails are thoughtful, and the staff has been so friendly

Nice micro selection, I ended up finding a barrel-aged can that was delicious.

The place smelled of old soured beer (like a dive bar), to which our noses eventually acclimated. It wasn't the most pleasant experience.

Service was great, especially considering the huge line at the bar. We sat at the bar to avoid the line and it was a good choice.

My date was pleased with her spooky drink and the cute gimmicks it came with. She lamented that it appeared to be the only themed drink, but was still a success.

Came during the Holy Hour- Bartender Morgan was super chill and started us off correct. Adult “lunchable” was fantastic, not fancy, but hit the spot with the rum punch cocktail. Freshly pickled cucumber and onion were refreshing. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, cool establishment backstory, clean bathrooms. Will absolutely be back next time I’m in town.

A place I go to almost every time I’m in town. The happy hour deal is unbeatable in price & flavor. The food is always great. The adult capri suns are so fun! I highly suggest the on tap Brazilian limeade also. We’ve been many times and even for one very entertaining drag show.

An excellent goth theme bar with pizza and pretzels. Certain drinks come with a one card tarot reading and a very nice macabre aesthetic perfect for creatures of the night. Lots of beers on tap including cider options. Site is a formal mortuary where you literally drink and dine where departed human beings were prepared for their final rest.

Walking in, it immediately reminded me of a spot on a ghost tour we got in New Orleans. Beautiful building with all of the original fun retained. Enormous beer list that has something for everyone. They even have Malort ON TAP if you're into that. I picked a charcuterie board and it was fun but their cured meat choices were interesting. I LOVED their in house pickles! I also ordered an entire tray of those and you can tell they enjoy mixing things up, I appreciate that!

Employees + bartenders are awesome. Loved the vibe of this place. We were obsessed with the Body Transfer…especially the tarot cards that came with the drinks. Appreciated they pulled all the death cards out of the deck.

Excellent late night spot serving a variety of drinks and pizza and open late. Sometimes the space can be quite a bit loud sometimes this is from other patrons other times the music they are playing.

I will start that this is cool place! You walk into an ex mortuary and hear papa roach - last resort, it’s going to be good! PS if you don’t know who papa roach is no problem, but the music gets better. Don’t be put off if you only like hip hop or kpop 😆. You’ll learn 👍🏼
look Seattle craft beers are not cheap, you pay for the fancy names and the craft. That is why Seattle keeps producing so much great beer and great choice. If you want bubbly bland tasteless mass produced American beer go to somewhere else.
Pine box is a taproom, so many choices - Westward and down Idaho CO IPA is 7.2% , citrus and hazy but if it’s Seattle summer 30degC (not sure what that is in degF ) it’s the beer you want. Hefty Alice from Portland is lighter,more a session beer but perfectly likeable.

Seats are comfy at the bar, staff are friendly, yes the beer cost is higher than you’d like to pay (as per most bars in Seattle ) but you could sit at home and drink a supermarket bought craft beer in silence !! Option number 2 is get out, drink a choice of 42 beers on tap plus a vast choice of spirits and wine and listen some good music , have a life and realise there’s more than tv! Obviously the westward down was stronger than I thought, post slightly longer but walk home will be a breeze 😀 pine box is an oddity but that’s why you’ve got visit, you’ll love it
