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.

This is a fun place to hang out alone or with friends. The beer selection is good and the food is delicious.
It's always sticky and theres nowhere to sit. Security guards are nice

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

Fun place. Drinks were good. No server had to stand in line to get a drink.
Love this place! Came here a lot more when I was drinking more, but don't let that diminish the gleam of this gem of a spot. Great, abundant selection of rotating taps, and the food just gets better every time I have gone. Cherish the staff, all those folks rule.
It's situated inside of a former mortuary/funeral home with a lot of history, so that obviously adds to the cool factor. The interior decor is very on point too. They've definitely breathed some life into this former house of the dead.

This place is an amazing, spooky-looking place to hang out, and the amaretto smoothies are delicious.

This place has the best meat lovers pizza I've had this side of the west coast! The stout was goooood and for any light weight it does the job. But it's easy to have more than one just because it tastes so smooth! The chicken sandwich was a little dry but it was still packed with flavor, and it was close to closing so that's on me! The staff are so kind and have so many suggestions to offer! This is a great find especially after a long day of work! The only thing I would like is if I can stay more often! Lol and if the stout porter selection was a bit more robust. Other than that you honestly can not go wrong with choosing this place to unwind and relax. Parking is available next door for about $20 so just be prepared to factor that cost in. Have fun!

Pizza is amazing. They just need to add more seasoning to the sauce and it for real would be one of the best pizzas in the area
We had a great time in Seattle before our cruise. My wife and I were lucky to get to visit the Pine Box twice before leaving. Jake was working both days and his customer service was top notch. We will go back.
Thank you Jake for making our trip great!!!
Relaxed beautiful bar that used to be a mortuary. Small bites and full bar.
