Tavern Law - Seattle

I wanted to try Needle and Thread but didn't realize a reservation was required, so I ended up at Tavern Law instead. It was just okay. The interior was pretty unremarkable, and service was slow, though the staff were pleasant. The drink menu was extensive, but it felt overwhelming and didn't seem celiac-safe. I'm definitely planning to return to Needle and Thread, but I probably wouldn't choose Tavern Law again. I’m a bit surprised it's rated so highly.

We went to speakeasy, Needle and thread. Liked the concept of mixology. They make amazing drink. Have to be very specific about the choice of the ingredients. Overall amazing experience!

Overheard brunette waitstaff with bangs (Rachel I think) call my husband and I assholes for asking where our cocktails were after 30 minutes of waiting and watching other people get their drinks who ordered after us. blonde staff with glasses was lovely.

I always have a great experience at Tavern Law. They offer exceptional cocktails made with unique, house-made ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere. Their drinks often pay homage to prohibition-era cocktails, featuring fresh herbs, bitters, and classic aperitifs, and they tend to be less sweet than typical beginner cocktails. That said, these drinks have a rich and complex flavor profile that is definitely worth exploring. The staff are friendly, courteous, and perfectly attentive without being overwhelming. I highly recommend Tavern Law to anyone visiting Seattle who wants to experience some of the city’s finest offerings.

Fantastic cocktail bar! They even crafted a special drink for me using carrot juice, as I've been experimenting with different flavors. The food menu may be limited, but the quality is outstanding. The rockfish was exceptional. We were fortunate to arrive before the place got crowded, as it filled up quickly around 9 PM.
