Editorial Review for The Whisky Bar – by Helen Freund
In Short
Well removed from the rest of the Belltown club scene, this British-owned dive bar is a fresh breath of air. All of the typical highlights are present: pool tables and a jukebox in the back, a rowdy clientele that often needs soothing and boisterous bartenders who will cut you off at a whim. Dim, red lighting is coupled with walls showcasing moody portraits of sultry femme fatales.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyNo need to pick just one happy hour--this one goes from 3pm to 9pm daily and offers $1 PBRs and $2 wells.
When to GoGrab a drink before the show: across the street from the bar lies one of Seattle's oldest and most esteemed venues--the Moore Theater.
Know Before You GoGrab a friend, grab a pint and grab a seat--fast. Summer days the outside patio fills up quick. Colder days usually leave ample space to lounge in one of the booths inside.

i've been here twice and both times i've left with a sour taste in my mouth. the bartender was extremely rude, homely and impatient. a guinness and two long islands cost $22 and they don't accept credit cards. the music is too loud you have to shout to your friends to have a conversation. this place is basically an extremely overpriced divebar with awful service and so-called punk-rockers that all look like they're going to shoot themselves. enjoy!

Not sure what night I went to this bar but Queensryche was playing at the Moore's across the street. This was probably the best nightspot I went to on my trip to Seattle. Can't really say there were any negatives about the experience Drink prices and selection were reasonable, the mix of people at the bar was diverse, and the DJ was great. All the bars along 2nd Ave. were pretty good but this was a personal favorite of myself and a couple of others that went with me.
