    Bottom line, if you’re looking for the quintessential Bourbon experience in Seattle, this is your spot. They have bourbon here that has been absent in North America for 50 years. And they’re knowledgeable about all of them. Enjoy!

  • 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!

  • 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

    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

    Neno took great care of us and was super knowledgeable. Great selection with options for everyone’s price point. The flights were a great deal and allowed us to sample multiple different pours
