I got the whiskey slush and a bacon grilled cheese with a beer for 25$ this bar is amazing! The employees are rockers and they live up to the name of the bar. Inside is where the magic happens because they got it all decked out in rock and roll stuff. Just wish I could use the kiss pinball machine.

Classic Belltown bar in Seattle, on 1st. No beer on tap, but bottles and cans. 100s of liquor choices. Experience bartenders. Frozen beverage choices also. Unique theme. It is down some steps in a basement, so accessibility might be a challenge. Fun place to visit. Very friendly and eclectic crowd.

  • Kerry McHugh

Very cool spot. Pinball and old school 45s jukebox. Lots of memorabilia to look at. Owner was bartending and extremely friendly. He gave us a look into the Belltown Yacht Club - the rock venue. Can't wait to come back and see a show there. Prices were decent and drinks were good.

  • Brian Walker

This place is truly a hidden gem. They've got a nice selection of pours (I'm a whiskey guy myself) including a whole menu section for "beer and a shot." Some old arcade games and quirky decor make it a fun spot to hangout. It's never really been busy, more of a locals-hangout.

  • Gabriel Barragan

Cool bar tucked away in the basement of the building. Great house cocktail options and friendly bartender. Even though it was busy he offered suggestions on the drinks and took his time explaining the options. If you like music and a good juke box you will enjoy this place.

  • Laetitia

In love with this bar - it has my name written all over it. Great ambiance, it has so much character. The bartender was a delight and so were the drinks they served. I got the Tiki La Rue and loved it. No beer on tap but lots of cans/bottles to choose from instead.

  • Zachary Harris

Inside is still closed for some dumb reason. But, patio seating on the street is decent even though its only 6 or 7 tables. Nice shot and drink combos. It would be nice if there were more tequila options for the combos but, its nice to see more bars doing that

  • Jessie Shelton

I loved this bar! Looking forward to sharing with friends and going again soon! I only caught one of my two bartender's names, but Brian and the gentleman before him were both awesome, helpful, kind, and informative! I recommend this bar to everyone!

  • Rob H

Best basement bar in Seattle. Nice and cozy with unique decor. Venue space in the back for getting up close and personal with some live music. Friendly staff and an awesome outdoor seating spot. Perfect vibe for a tallboy on a sunny afternoon.

  • Ritul Jain

I had a mixed experience at Screwdriver Bar in Seattle. On the positive side, the bar's ambiance was truly amazing, creating a trendy and inviting atmosphere that set the stage for a memorable evening. The drinks were also enjoyable, with a

I just was there (28 oct 2023 5h30pm) the lady was rude, she was asking for an id (even though I am clearly over 30s, she told me she will ask even a grandpa for an id ahah) and when we told her we have our ids in the hotel and that we will

  • Amanda M.

We've been living in Seattle for 1 & 1/2 years and this is my boyfriend's favorite bar. The decor is so fun, rock themed everything. They have a TV that has a loop of space kittens meowing and of course it's amazing. Love the basement feel,

  • Jaimie Rey

Phenomenal service from a gentleman called Deno (I believe.) Unfortunately was unable to check out the bar / venue due to closing based on social distance guidelines. They had a nice Tiki-themed outdoor area out front so you can kick it to

Had a fantastic time celebrating one year in Seattle at the Screwdriver Bar with friends last night. Loved the rock 'n' roll vibes and excellent service from the bartenders. The mocktail options were delicious. However, as Deaf individuals

  • Jeff Friedman

Well, wanted to like this place because I love rock. I've only been here twice, but both times it seems the memorabilia is the only thing "rock" about it. The juke box did not work, and the DJs that were there played music most people have

  • Cyndal E

Absolutely love this place! The owners are group of really awesome locals who have worked in the area for many years. They make mean drinks, the atmosphere is awesome, the pinball machines, it truly is just a very fun place. Prior to this

  • Said Person

What a cool find! We came here after dinner for some odd lively drinks and this place hit the spot. I was not expecting the coolness and welcoming atmosphere. Why? Cause I’m odd, don’t try and figure that one out. Anyway I would come back

  • P W

I swear I've already rated this place 5 stars, but maps keeps suggesting I do it again. And why not? It is with tremendous reason I am letting you all know for a second time that this is the greatest curated bar in the Pacific North West.

  • Aaron Valenzuela

Visiting from Tucson, Arizona. Got turned away because they said my ID was fake. Bouncer was an idiot for no reason even though I had multiple forms of identification to prove I am over 21. Guy had a whispy mustache that doesn't connect.

  • Little Byte

Drinks are delicious and staff is always super friendly! Make sure you have your ID, they definitely check. Seating is limited so get there early if you want a good spot. Line takes a while since the order line is also where you receive

  • Karen A.

This is a Baby Boomer's bomb shelter. I mean this in an awesome way. Love the atmosphere, cocktails, and all the decor. One person brought his dog. So friendly. Great music! Dino, the bartender, was fabulous! Be sure to ask Dino about

  • Robin Wixom

This place is like a small secret hidden under Belltown. The owners/staff were beyond kind and helpful. The drinks are strong and unique (frozen drinks that aren't too sweet!). I was so impressed at how proactive the staff is as well.

  • Jeffrey Martin

Came for Assembly Literature open mic and LOVED the atmosphere. Friendly staff, great vibe, really cool bar. Somehow divey and classy at the same time. Lots of good cocktails plus they have specialty shot/drink combos that all

  • Cheryl Crummett

One cocktail at the lovely bar and suddenly I wanted to grab one of those wimple head dresses and fly around my convent saving puppies. In other words, gentlemen. I am in love. More

  • Ackerman Ashley

The bartender was the most un-bothered human I've ever seen in my life and I mean this in THE BEST WAY. a bus full of hostel folks showed up unannounced @ about 11:30 on a random

Loved it... Showed up early when there was a few others in, it got gradually busier. Service was good, laid back atmosphere, lots of cool stuff to look at.

  • Chris M

Really love the vibe here. The bartenders are friendly, the place has a great feel and decor to it. Really chill to come to after work for a drink.

  • Kate Gruver

Great vibe, love all the music albums and memorabilia. Friendly staff and most days you don't have to wait too long for a drink and to find a table

  • Randall Yoakum

First time visiting and I really enjoyed it. The underground entrance is fun, and as a bonus it's an open area that doesn't feel crowded at all.

  • ******

bar was empty when I went. but the bartender and the drinks were AMAZING! They don't have a cocktail I don't like! Ill definitely be going back!

  • Atara Jaffe

The ambiance is DOPE, however- THERE IS NO HAPPY HOUR!!!!! And our bartender looked like she hated her life, so, that kinda killed the vibe
