+$85 for two pitchers of Pacifico is crazy. The owner puts wild fees on each purchase.

First things first, I'm writing this review because this place charges $11 for a White Claw. What a racket, why is anyone paying ballpark prices for drinks at a normal bar?
I hadn't been here in years, since before the rebrand (formerly Moe Bar). My friend and I stopped in for a couple drinks and to reminisce. The space is nice and the bartender was friendly. It was 5:30 on a Monday so not exactly a busy time for most bars, but this place was empty besides myself, my friend, and the bartender. We ordered drinks without asking the price, on us I suppose, but we assumed they'd be reasonable.
$11 for WhiteClaw and $10 for a draft beer. (also they add 5% service charge, which wasn't mentioned until we got the bill, so really it's an $11.55 WhiteClaw)
I guess $10 for a draft beer is somewhat reasonable, although still more expensive than any other bar I've been to recently. But at least it's a draft beer being served in a glass, not just a can handed to you from a cooler...
Hopefully y'all Runaway from these prices

Love this place. A calm from the storm of Cap Hill. Zac was great. Helped me decide on a drink when I was indecisive.

I witnessed a lot of aggressive bouncers working here. A few including a tall bulky fellow and an old short Security person at the gate, they seem to be quite rude just like mentioned in the comments section. Saw them heckle one middle aged man. Scary experience just being there.

Just be aware, this bar is controlled by bullies in gear. Extremely rude security men including the hostess. The owner must know these guys are turning the bar in to a hostile environment. Lot of my friends have similar opinion on this.

It was kinda strange. I met 4 strangers across the street at another bar. They were all out of towners. We came here to check out another bar.

Two of the people had just met and were making out at the booth, then the bar, so they were kicked out.

I'm not used to this kind of experience. I'm double their age, but it was strange to see the bartender and bouncer ask them to leave. I guess they were drunk, and this isn't that kind of bar. Lol.

We didn't stay long enough to experience what the vibe of this bar would be all about. It just seemed funny for a bar to expect their customers not to act as if they were drinking.

Come here for a drink if you're a normal behaving drinker. Maybe not if you're looking to pick someone up or for a party feeling atmosphere.

It was a nice and clean establishment. I'm not sure what else to say.

bad for groups, bad for going out in general super rude staff

Landry Trest

Bouncer was extremely impatient and incredibly aggravated even though there was basically no costumers inside, as we were standing outside to leave because of our experience a costumer came out to tell us how bad of bar it was

2 shots of Jeager and a tiny splash of redbull to top off the glass is $30. One star fir service because we exchanged 10ish words over the course of spending $30 on one drink. Would expect a shoulder massage to come with the drink for the price. Dudes probably nice, couldn't afford another drink to find out. 1 for atmosphere because the place is full of political flags, and there's a massive garrage sized door open to the litter and gravity filled streets of disgusting Seattle. To the owner if you read this dont take it out on the employee, he was just following instructions.
