Whisky Bar
Straight up, I'm not sure how I feel about the Whiskey Bar. It is right across from the Moore Theatre making it a nice stop for getting your drunk on before a show. It's also one of the more innocuous bars in Belltown. Two dollar PBR tallboys can never be wrong. So it has these things in its corner. But I just can't say much more than that. You may offer the largest liquor selection in Belltown, but you're bland, Whiskey Bar. OK, the whiskey keg suspended above the bar is impressive in a, "look, that guy just shoved twelve sausage links into his mouth!" kind of way but the other atmospheric touches are uninspiring. Inside it's like a sports bar collided with a speakeasy but neither theme is done convincingly. Like the Nite Lite down the street, Whiskey is a cash only establishment. If you're like me and even pay for drip coffee with your debit card, this is a big drawback. Combine this with the apparent identity crisis and I'll continue to only drink here pre-show.
