Christian was great! He was sweet to Grandma. The drinks were lovely! If we weren’t from out of town, we’d return because of Christian. Give Christian a bonus.

Can honestly say The Diller room hosts the best private events. Currently attending the Old Fitzgerald event & I’m blown away by how organized & unique it is. They have a wide range of whiskies & some of the best cocktails I’ve had in awhile. Come check this place out!

First trip to Seattle and first bar we stopped at was The Diller Room. Our bartender Christian was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Gave us advice as to what to do as first timers and told us where to find Big Foot!!! ☺️ We will definitely be back!

This place is a gem in the Emerald City! My friend and I came upon it after playing tourist all day and it did not disappoint. The bar is over 130 years old and the atmosphere beckoned us in from the street. The service was outstanding-we sat at the bar… read more and had an instant connection with Christian. We both speak fluent bourbon and their selection is over the top. Do go, and Christian or anyone will take great care of you.

My fiance and I had an incredible time here and fantastic drinks. The espresso martini is a must-have, and the pizza was delicious. Christian is an awesome bartender. The word I would use to describe the whole experience is “impeccable.” Drinks we ordered, all fabulous: Espresso martini Geisha’s Whisper Kentucky Aristocrat Banana daiquiri Flamingo room punch

Kate
Wanted to stop in here for so long! History, delicious cocktails, and a cute bartender who knows what’s up. Came during the day to soak in the history might have to come back later for the spirits and local vibes. Didn’t see a ghost though. I must continue investigating after… read more this Flamingo Room Punch 🥰

Wonderful selection of private barrel selection and bottles. They have some bottles I’ve been looking for but never found. Had an old fashioned as well as a pour of Bomberger’s.

If you’re looking for the perfect spot to unwind, sip something extraordinary, and enjoy some seriously good pizza, look no further. This bar is a hidden gem that hits all the right notes—especially if you’re a whiskey lover or a fan of expertly crafted cocktails. The whiskey selection here is incredible—from… read more smooth bourbons to rare single malts, there’s something for every taste and curiosity. And if cocktails are more your style, you’re in luck. The bartenders—Christian, Armando, Neno, and Alex—are true pros. Whether you’re ordering one of their signature drinks or something off-menu, they’ll mix up something that’ll blow you away. The creativity and attention to detail are unmatched. And then there’s the pizza—wow. Crispy, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients, it’s the kind of pizza that turns first-time visitors into regulars. It’s not just a side note here; it’s a highlight. Rob, the owner, clearly knows how to create a welcoming atmosphere. His passion for great food, drink, and service shines through in every corner of the place. You can feel the pride and care from the moment you walk in. This bar has it all: killer drinks, an unbeatable whiskey list, delicious food, and a staff that makes you feel right at home. Don’t miss it.

If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out — mostly because of Neno. Hands down the best bartender there. He’s fast, fun, always on point with the drinks, and honestly? Way too cute for his own good. Pretty sure half the reason people keep coming back is just… read more to see him behind the bar. 🍸💖

Rob Wilson and gang were amazing! The vibe is very low key. Almost like a speak easy vibe, the drinks taste great you pay for what you drink they also make basic ones as well. Highly recommend will be coming back.
