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
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!
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 knife
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 more
Great handmade cocktails served here! Perfect spot to start or end a date night
MichelleNovember 13, 2016Cocktails aren't made strong but definitely crowd pleasers. Great selections of good liquor to sip while enjoying the cozy atmosphere.
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.
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 more
Kaitlin MartineauJanuary 2, 2016A drink with 'Garden' in the name. Gin, egg whites, cucumber, and Himalayan sea salt! Fantastic and refreshing
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.
Craft cocktails suffer on busy nights, but still recommended for more of a lounge style atmosphere in Belltown.
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 it
Amy BJuly 26, 2015Chill vibe w great music. You can still carry on a convo. Excellent fresh ingredient cocktails.- Mouni ReddyAugust 2, 2015This'll be hard to digest but there is really gunpowder in the gunpowder punch. It's an amazing cocktail.
- 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.
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.
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.
Ask for Zane and have and old fashioned and dare your friend to swallow their hand cut ice
Seattle MetMarch 9, 2011It’s the cocktail crowd’s clubhouse. Rob Roy’s skilled staff churns out impeccably crafted concoctions. Read more
This is my fav bar in Seattle. Impeccable drinks and great ambiance.
David EldridgeOctober 5, 2013Very nice Aviation Cocktail here, so hard to find places that stock the Maraschino liqueur.
Jack ReevesSeptember 27, 2014They specialize in crafty cocktails. You're sure to find your favorite with their unique spin.
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.
Jeff BMay 15, 2016Skip the Golden Gate, delicious smells of orange, but the finish might as well be rubbing alcohol.
- Very well crafted cocktails! Talk to the bartenders they are very knowledgeable and make some great drink recommendations.
Easy to walk right past it, but easily among the best cocktails in Seattle.
Check out the grapefruit in the urinals! (PS: don't order the sangria.)
Piscologia PiscoMarch 13, 2011One of the best bars in the area. And Anu is one of our favorite mixologists!
If you drink old fashioneds, this is the best place in seattle to get one
