It’s great to know they’re still open- it’s definitely one of the coolest bars I’ve ever been to. Not too crowded, but still busy enough, great drinks, and yummy food. Bartenders have all been super nice and the place just feels cosy. I suppose that’s odd for a former mortuary, but who knows- maybe the ghosts just really endorse camaraderie and good beer.

She claimed to be the manager, but that's doubtful. Tip P. was marked on the reception as a server, but not sure if that is it. Used to enjoy this place, but difficult to get back after such unnecessary attitude and lack of customer service. Has not been welcomed by this server as a person of color.

That's one of my favorite bars. Great drinks and great staff. Super cool story to be a former mortuary. Celeste is the best!!! read more That's one of my favorite bars. Great drinks and great staff. Super cool story to be a former mortuary. Celeste is the best!!!

The atmosphere is so cool, the covered patio is a great place to catch a game on the big screen, huge beer selection and great cocktails, and the music is always on point. Thanks for keeping your customers and staff safe!

They were also accommodating enough to create a custom drink for us that wasn’t on their menu. The fresh-baked cookie, which was gigantic, was absolutely delicious! The bartenders were attentive and knowledgeable, even taking the time to share some interesting history about the place, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we will definitely be coming back!

Great bar! I can’t wait to try the pizza someday. The cheesy garlic flatbread was incredible. The prices are also very reasonable. read more Great bar! I can’t wait to try the pizza someday. The cheesy garlic flatbread was incredible. The prices are also very reasonable.

The building was originally Seattle most famous funerary chapel (and it 's on Pine Street, get it? and they like to play with that fact a bit. Notice all the pews and artwork? 2 The staff is killer. There 's a distinct punk/metal look like you 'd expect in in Seattle, but my God are they friendly and patient. That said, there are occasional runs on the bar, so as a courtesy, read the beer list before you get to the front and always tip well (round up from 20% . I like these guys and I want the best people to stick around. 3 The beer list. It 's not just IPA, but they 've got that covered too. They are very picky about their beers and they use very short lines to tap their kegs so it always tastes as intended. They keep at least two ciders (usually a sweet and a dry , and they 've got a reasonable bar without any real focus. 4 The food is a little more exciting than you 'd expect. They 've got a proper pizza oven here (and being a former funeral home, you might wonder what else that oven was for and they make some impressively rich pizzas. These are the 14 not-quite-New-York-but-definitely-not-Chicago sort of pizzas you see a lot of in the PNW. Theyve got some tasty nachos and sandwiches as well. If you bring your pup to their covered porch in the summer, let the kitchen know. They might bring your pupper some bacon. Now for the cons... Parking is basically the same thunder dome situation you see everywhere on Cap Hill. This place is popular and you might see long lines for the bar on weekends. They move quickly so long as everyone follows etiquette. The music can get loud in the main area. It 's a Seattle bar so... At least it 's pretty good music. Food advisory: When they use the word garlic on their menu, what they really mean is GARLIC! . But can you blame them? If there 's a bar for vampires, this is it. Since you 've read this far, I can tell you that the not-so-secret VIP area is up a crooked set of stairs behind a curtain to the right of the bar. Its pretty sexy up there.

Great bar with lots of space for anger groups. Was open later when many bars in the area were closed. Food is on par with any restaurant that has a beard award. read more Great bar with lots of space for anger groups. Was open later when many bars in the area were closed.

PS if you don’t know who papa roach is no problem, but the music gets better. Don’t be put off if you only like hip hop or kpop . You’ll learn look Seattle craft beers are not cheap, you pay for the fancy names and the craft. That is why Seattle keeps producing so much great beer and great choice. If you want bubbly bland tasteless mass produced American beer go to somewhere else. Pine box is a taproom, so many choices Westward and down Idaho CO IPA is 7.2% , citrus and hazy but if it’s Seattle summer 30degC (not sure what that is in degF it’s the beer you want. Hefty Alice from Portland is lighter,more a session beer but perfectly likeable. Seats are comfy at the bar, staff are friendly, yes the beer cost is higher than you’d like to pay (as per most bars in Seattle but you could sit at home and drink a supermarket bought craft beer in silence !! Option number 2 is get out, drink a choice of 42 beers on tap plus a vast choice of spirits and wine and listen some good music , have a life and realise there’s more than tv! Obviously the westward down was stronger than I thought, post slightly longer but walk home will be a breeze pine box is an oddity but that’s why you’ve got visit, you’ll love it.
