The Best Bar in Seattle

Since 1894, The Diller Room has poured with purpose. Once a turn-of-the-century hotel, now a landmark bar rooted in five-star hospitality, top-shelf spirits, and genuine service.

We’ve been called Seattle’s best cocktail bar — and more than once, Seattle’s last real bar. We wear both with pride. As the best bar in Seattle, we offer an experience that transcends the ordinary.

History and Modernity

Seattle’s Last Real Bar

Step inside our historic establishment and you’ll find original brickwork, mosaic floors, and a team that still gives a damn. Our cocktails are crafted with bold flavors and house-made ingredients, making us a standout Seattle cocktail lounge. Whether you’re a connoisseur or a curious newcomer, you’ll find something to love at The Diller Room.

Our whiskey collection runs over 900 bottles deep — featuring rare bourbons, ryes, and American whiskey you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re here for a classic cocktail, a rare pour from the Captain’s List, or just a cold beer under the glow of the Diller Hotel sign — you’re our guest. And here, that still means something.
