About Durkin's Liquor Bar

Durkin's Liquor Bar is a charming spot in downtown Spokane with a cool vibe. The menu offers tasty bites and entrees, including standout dishes like spaetzle, airline chicken, brussel sprouts, fried bologna sandwich, halibut, burger, pork chops, and charcuterie board. The bar downstairs features an amazing selection, especially with talented mixologists like Curtis, who craft refreshing cocktails such as a grapefruit cocktail and others. The bartenders are friendly and helpful, making solo diners feel comfortable. The restaurant's small menu is carefully prepared, and the food quality is consistently high. The burger is highly praised, described as miles above many high-end meals, with a perfect garlic aioli that complements the juicy beef and gooey cheese. The spaetzle is also a favorite and worth a return visit. The bar seating is close to the grill and action, providing a lively atmosphere, especially on Fridays and Saturdays when reservations are recommended. While the indoor temperature can be uncomfortable in summer due to lack of A/C, the overall experience offers friendly service, great food, and a cozy yet lively environment. It’s a popular spot for date nights and casual outings, with a fun cocktail experience and a small but impressive menu, including BBQ Chicken Wings, which are perfectly balanced with sweet and spicy flavors and grilled to perfection.
