“ We love our Old Fashioned cocktails and the ambiance. Low lighting, classic building and well stocked bar downtown close to the Benaroya Hall. Great choice. ”
“ We stopped in before heading to a show at the symphony. We were pleased to see they had pizza available because we wanted cocktails and to eat something too. The cocktails are a bit pricey but really well done and tasty. Service was quick and friendly. The bar itself is really cute. There is a larger space in the back that can accommodate groups. ”
“ Wandering the streets of Seattle like a tourist , we stumbled on this Gem in Seattle. This Bar has been established since 1894. So much history. It has a cool ambiance and inviting atmosphere. The décor is a cozy environment for a great place to meet friends for drinks. They have a list of specialty cocktails and top notch bartenders. They are very knowledgeable and eager to recommend options based on your preferences. This place offers food as well. We had the cheese board and it was very tasty. Now on to the best part of my evening. I love Whiskey and let me tell you they have some great pours. He has some barrel picks as well. We loved the barrel pick from Russel's and Elijah Craig. We ended the night with a Thomas Handy and a few other amazing pours. Now how lucky we are that the owner Rob was in the house and the best part of my evening was talking whiskey with his guy. He knows his whisky. I make a very good old fashion so he has to throw the gauntlet down and make us one to try. I have to say the best in the city no joke. They make in house the bitters for most of the drinks. Hands down a night I will never forget. we live far out of the city but this will make me want to come at least 2 times a month. It is worth the drive. Come check this amazing gem out. It is great for 1st dates since it has romantic lighting throughout.. ”
“ We have been coming to the diller room for years now and we love the place. One of our favorite bars in the city. Not pretentious at all and the drinks are great! I love the neon too. I recently lost my wallet and I thought I may have left it there. I went the next day and the owner Rob went out of his way to check the cameras to see if it was swiped. He was very helpful and kind. Long story short it wasn't lost there but he was very concerned about it and I appreciated that. 100% recommended. ”
“ They do have food options- but we did not try any as we had dinner plans beforehand. One of the best cocktails I have ever had was at the Diller Room: the Diller-ricious (blueberry vodka, shaken with lemon, muddled cucumber, and blueberries). They have a wide variety of specialty cocktails for all kinds of tastes and preferences. We went twice during our Seattle Trip. On Wednesday night, there was only one bartender for the whole place and orders got backed up. On Thursday night, there were two bartenders, and drinks were out faster. The vibes are great. Great place for drinks with friends or for after work. I highly, highly recommend it! ”
“ Leaving an updated review to recognize two amazing, talented bartenders Alex and Justin. The Diller Room is full of excitement- from the curated cocktail menus with tasty drinks, the fun vibes, music, it's a great place to visit with friends late night. I highly recommend this bar! This was and still is one of the best date night bars for my fiancé and I to start out night out drinking. I'm happy to always receive great service and enjoy the drinks at The Diller Room. Hope you guys enjoy it too if you visit! ”
“ If you are looking for the quintessential classic all american real bar with great spirits, go no further. It's a nice little quaint bar with low lighting and a nice speak easy demeanor. The service was impeccable, and the bartender was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping decide what we wanted. We just had a little snack of the marinated olives and Flatbread. The bread was amazing. The olives were good, except there was way too much acidic by way of lemons. The olives were way too lemony....it was similar to olives in unsweetened Lemonade. The drinks were amazing. This place has an entire full bar of spirits, wine, etc. This includes an extensive display of Japanese whiskeys, Mezcals, Tequilas, Bourbon, Scotches, Wines, and more. You can't go wrong for any drink you would like. This is an old school bar with a great selection of spirits and bartenders. I opted for the Mexican Revolver, which basic terms is an espresso martini made w/ Mezcal. Two of my favorite things combined to make a smooth smoky Heavenly drink. If you are ever in the Pike Peak Market area and want a drunk made right without all the fuss & no hipster vibes drop on in, you won't be disappointed. ”
