“I enjoyed this place so much that I ate here twice during one trip to Spokane! Loved the chx Caesar salad which had a perfect breaded crust, homemade croutons, and delicious vegan Caesar dressing which is so hard to find. Excellent white bean queso. Cocktails were high quality. Finally on visit 2 I had a Beyond smash burger. It was just the comfort food I desired. Updated from previous review on 2026-09-27“

Layla was the NICEST most fun bartender EVER! Give this place a go for a drink and some good music. Definitely will return when we’re back.“

“Bocce rolls were excellent. The smoked flavor of the deviled eggs were absolutely fantastic in my opinion. Then the tater tot casserole with brisket was savory and delicious. I've been back 3 times and never dissatisfied. Consistent foods and excellent. Highly recommend“

“Shea does a great job behind the bar! 🙂👍“

“Very small bar with the coziest feel, dark-lit in red to set the mood. They fresh squeeze their citrus, so having a Paloma is a MUST. Beautifully curated spirits (specifically tequila). The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. Will be coming back!“

“15 out of 10. Such a hidden gem. Food is amazing, staff is wonderful and friendly. A "bucket list" establishment“

“Best place in town hands down. Have been coming here for a couple of years now. I LOVE their happy hour prices, but especially their happy hour food selection, great beer, and wonderful bartenders! If you are thinking twice about going here, I really suggest making it a part of your day!“

“Best lattes, cappuccinos and americanos in town. No joke, I had to try one of each before indulging in People’s waffles… have had enough caffeine to fly me to the moon 🤣 it’s hard not to! Drinks are out of this world 💕“

“Stopped in for lunch and we ordered the shrimp po’ boy sandwich, impossible smash burger, brussel sprouts, and fried pickles. Everything was soo good. Atmosphere was laid back with lots of great furniture and decor. The staff were great and attentive and didn’t let our drinks run dry. Can’t wait to come back!“

“We stopped by Saturday for the wine tasting and it did not disappoint. Jesse, the owner was lovely and engaging, explaining the wine and growing process but also letting us enjoy without hovering. He is incredibly knowledgeable and we were enjoying ourselves so much, we stayed for a cocktail each and oh my gosh they were phenomenal. I highly recommend and I only wish we had been able to return after dinner for their live music. 5/5 will be back and highly recommend!“

“Mizuna how we love thee!!! I obnoxiously reserved a table for 13 the night before (I'm an airhead) for a group of picky middle-aged women who wants all the things and may need your right kidney as well (we drink a lot 🤷‍♀️) the server was nothing but accommodating, lovely, smart and so much fun! Wish I remembered her name! (Did I mention we drink a lot and I'm an airhead?) She let us all do separate checks (which she absolutely didn't have to do) but we appreciated it so so so much! The food was amazing and was presented phenomenally! Oh! And I can't forget the cocktails....imo they have the best espresso martini in Spokane and an overall wonderful signature cocktail menu! Love love love! Omg... can not forget about how our server hands stuffed blue cheese into 4 olives for my dirty martini! 😭 I'm happy crying!!!“

“para mi excelente comida son muy amables, buen trato ala gente“

“I'm from out of town and happened to visit this place when there was basically nobody and no dancing so its hard to review properly. Either way the bartenders were friendly and made great drinks. I mean where I'm from it would be double the price and less alcohol for the same drink haha. I loved the layout and the locals that where there that night were friendly.
There was a drag show that night and unfortunately it was one of the worst Ive been to. I was hoping it was going to be good as Ive not been to a drag show other than the city I'm from. The drag show however I'm not going to take my rating down for this place just because of that. A note though the drag show went on for way too long considering there was maybe 15 people at most. Like it went on for close to an hour. There was about 4 performers and they kept going to the point it was hard to watch and they were not amazing drag performances because there was not enough of a crowd to bring the energy. So if you are here on a slow night and there is a drag show don't expect much again this is just my opinion and Ive been to many great drag shows so my bar is high.“

“Volstead has been— for years—my absolute favorite bar in Spokane. Not because of the busy evenings or trendy holiday events, but because of the staff, the quality of service, the atmosphere, and, most importantly, the safe and welcoming community it fosters.

Volstead is a bar for people who just want to decompress on a Tuesday. Whether you’re enjoying an immaculate craft cocktail or an NA beverage, there’s a place for you at that bar. You can sit quietly and watch a movie on the TV, chat with the bartender, or strike up a conversation with an unexpected stranger who somehow becomes a bar friend.

There’s always a good energy here, and it will always be one of those places where I know I can walk in, be myself, and feel at home. I’m incredibly thankful for this little gem tucked away on Post Street.“

“This tiny bar is inside Little Noodle House but you can access it and an after hours/late night food menu from the back of the building. It's almost like a speakeasy but not quite as tucked away. The drinks are super creative and delicious.“

“Friendly sports bar good drinks“

“One of my favorite spots! Whether it’s to watch the Hawks play , along with whichever team I drew that week (check out their football club - The Gridiron Gang), to have lunch, or support my favorite cause - they are always giving back, it’s always the best time.
Bloody Mary bar is top notch, and you can’t go wrong with the delicious menu.“

“This was our first time, so we relied heavily upon our waitress for recommendations. She was personable, well-versed, and professional. The evening was a birthday celebration, and it was extremely pleasant. You get what you pay for, so spend a little extra and enjoy the experience.“

“yummy drinks and mocktails too“

“Very nice work by everyone involved in this little restaurant. The atmosphere, drink and food offerings are spot on. The service is friendly. We will return.“

“Grungy little bar. It was pretty kewl when it was a Gonzaga hangout. Met Marco Gongazlez there one time. Now its just a dive bar. One of the bartenders was selling drugs and it got pretty ugly in there.“

“this place was amazing!!! the staff was so great to us and very helpful!!!! I had the fish n chips and they were so good even my 4 year old ate half my plate!!!!“

“Thank you for another nice evening, good food and friends. See you next week. Joe“

“Delicious food and the city’s best roof top patio. Thursdays burger special is $12 and comes with a side and is the perfect amount of food for a quick lunch up on the south hill.“

“So many amazing flavors. Best in North Idaho for sure.“

“Restaurant was mostly empty it still took 20minutes to be seated. Took forever to get drinks and food. Service was extremely slow. Food tasted like the microwavable curry you get out of the frozen section.“

“Great place, atmosphere, food and staff!“

“Loved the experience and posted a video of my experience on my Facebook. Cute restaurant. Lovely staff. Enjoyed my stay very much!“
