Rebecca MangerMarch 31, 2013This is the place we still talk about after visiting Seattle. Loved sitting at the bar and watching the crafting of wonderful cocktails. Here is a pic of a carved ice cube. Fantastic!

Michael Reibel BoesenMarch 12, 2018Love the details. Learned about directional freezing of ice which makes it more transparent and slower to melt which makes it ideal in an Old Fashioned

Bill WuJanuary 27, 2019Fantastic selection of drinks in a speakeasy like atmosphere. Feel free to ask bartender to make a custom drink; they know their stuff. Also entertaining to watch they shave ice blocks with a knifeUpvote1Downvote
Sit at the bar and chat with the bartenders. They are all amazing and really know their stuff. If you're feeling adventurous, name a spirit and let them pour you a cocktail that won't disappoint!Upvote4Downvote
Tanner ChristensenAugust 30, 2017Grab an old fashioned with hand cut ice, or take a chance with the gunpowder punch. Show up for happy hour for goldfish snacks or faux ramen bowls.UpvoteDownvote
Renaissance HotelsFebruary 20, 2013Give one of the favorites a try: the sloe gin fizz and the “Ariel”, made with Aquavit, absinthe, Punt a mes, lemon and plum syrup. Delicious. For more, follow us on 4sq or at www.renhotels.com. Read moreUpvote1Downvote
Kaitlin MartineauJanuary 2, 2016A drink with 'Garden' in the name. Gin, egg whites, cucumber, and Himalayan sea salt! Fantastic and refreshing

MichelleNovember 13, 2016Cocktails aren't made strong but definitely crowd pleasers. Great selections of good liquor to sip while enjoying the cozy atmosphere.UpvoteDownvote
Scott RoseNovember 16, 2013Turns out they don't actually specialize in Rob Roys here- the Old Fashioned is the signature tipple. The name comes from "Viceroy," the former occupant. Little food, but great, great drinks.UpvoteDownvote
Every other Friday and most Satrudays, Andrew Bohrer sets camp behind the bar and makes some of the best cocktails you'll ever try. His caipirinhas--made with hand-chipped ice--are the best in town!Upvote2Downvote
Sam SNovember 29, 2015Great cocktails. No need to stick to whiskey here but if you like it, let the bartender whip you up something incredible.Upvote1Downvote- EsquireJune 26, 2012Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Check out the vinyl in the back and enjoy the free happy hour Goldfish. Oh, and, obviously - have a Rob Roy.Upvote14Downvote
Craft cocktails suffer on busy nights, but still recommended for more of a lounge style atmosphere in Belltown.Upvote1Downvote
Jack ReevesSeptember 27, 2014They specialize in crafty cocktails. You're sure to find your favorite with their unique spin.UpvoteDownvote
Brad GrahamMay 28, 2013The decor makes a convincing argument for the 1960s bachelor pad as an alternative to the current model for modern American cocktail bars. Try the Chartreuse.UpvoteDownvote
Amy BJuly 26, 2015Chill vibe w great music. You can still carry on a convo. Excellent fresh ingredient cocktails.UpvoteDownvote- Mouni ReddyAugust 2, 2015This'll be hard to digest but there is really gunpowder in the gunpowder punch. It's an amazing cocktail.UpvoteDownvote
Denise FJuly 6, 2019Cocktails are the best, sit at the bar and enjoy the vibes and drinks!UpvoteDownvote
Namitta ShankarJuly 13, 2012Happy hour rates are ridiculous. Don't like seeing flies in the bar on a hot afternoon though. Bespoke drinks on the menu & non-alcoholic pretend cocktails available as well. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read moreUpvoteDownvote
DRAZApril 19, 2014Great place, go to the bar lean ur elbows on it and ask them to make u anything with a big ball of ice in itUpvoteDownvote
Nicholas JarrettNovember 9, 2013Love it. Wish I'd been here later I the evening to see the crowd go, but confident it's a solid scene.Upvote2Downvote
Hand Carved Ice and a collection of amazing bartenders makes Rob Roy a standout in Seattle. Enjoy a Zaya Old Fashioned from Trickey and your eyes are bound to be opened.Upvote1Downvote
David EldridgeOctober 5, 2013Very nice Aviation Cocktail here, so hard to find places that stock the Maraschino liqueur.UpvoteDownvote
Ask for Zane and have and old fashioned and dare your friend to swallow their hand cut iceUpvote2Downvote
Philip MacedoJuly 20, 2013Favorite bar in bell town! Ask for a James Cameron—you won't regret it!UpvoteDownvote

Chip TutuAugust 20, 2022Cocktails, at least as served by two different bartenders, lack balance. Casuals may think they are good, but definitely not for those looking for quality.UpvoteDownvote
Jeff BMay 15, 2016Skip the Golden Gate, delicious smells of orange, but the finish might as well be rubbing alcohol.UpvoteDownvote
Check out the grapefruit in the urinals! (PS: don't order the sangria.)Upvote1Downvote
Buy Gunpowder Punch for your friends. A nice house cocktails.UpvoteDownvote- Very well crafted cocktails! Talk to the bartenders they are very knowledgeable and make some great drink recommendations.Upvote1Downvote
Piscologia PiscoMarch 13, 2011One of the best bars in the area. And Anu is one of our favorite mixologists!Upvote1Downvote
