My fiance and I came here for a little date night and had the best time. The drinks were amazing, the atmosphere and DJ also made the experience worth every second. I recommend this for any special night

So cute, excellent bar tenders, and the fries are made of real potatoes. Only got an after photo 🤷‍♀️

Really inventive cocktail list, often with some sort of clarified milk punch style drink. The pomme frites w aoli is addictive, and very friendly hospitality. Highly recommend!

Chic place to grab a custom cocktail and small bites. Great atmosphere and friendly service make this a great place to meet up for date night.

Emma Rue's takes small plates and executes flawlessly. The same and more can be said for the cocktails, in my case a delicious tart mocktail but the expertise and options are there, certainly their other customers seemed to be quite happy with their choices at my visit.

Be advised, the kitchen is open at 4 but happy hour drinks are available from opening.
The misunderstanding was politely explained and a hummus plate loaded with veggies and crackers provided while we waited and we were not disappointed. Service was superb and the flavors just phenomenal. It was a chic mellow atmosphere that we thoroughly enjoyed. The menu is tasteful and inviting for any palate drinkers and non drinkers alike. I'm craving desert for next time.

Shout-out to the early bartender Saturday nights whose name I'm spacing, she happily took a group photo for a group before they left and if that's not excellent service I don't know what is!

Vegetarian options: Very limited but tasty, to be expected for a cocktail bar with a side of food on the menu.

Dietary restrictions: There are mocktails available and I'm sure most things you could imagine alcohol free is doable

Parking: Street parking varies depending on day and events. Be prepared to walk a few blocks

Kid-friendliness: Probably hard to satisfy a kid here

Wheelchair accessibility: Moderately accessible with low lounge chairs/space you can readily wheel up beside.

Gorgeous atmosphere. Jazzy drinks. Espresso martini was the 🐝 knees! The old fashioned was delicious as well but please please please use Rocks ice (single large ice cube). It diluted too quickly!

I was watching a YouTube video BodyCam Files Exclusive on a woman named Ashley getting arrested for being drunk and resisting arrest. Your place looks awesome and cool.

Worst bar in Spokane that I know of. The past 4 times I have tried coming here I have sat at a table for over 10 minutes without any staff coming over and saying anything. Just have left 4 straight times because the bartenders would rather drink and talk with each other than do their job. Awful really the worst bar in Spokane.

Didn't even acknowledge us when we came through the door or when we went to sit down. Waited several minutes and the server was talking with another person that she knew. Finally just left and will never be back again

Wow! The line and laundry was probably the best cocktails I’ve ever had, I drank it in 2 seconds and couldn’t stop thinking about it.
