Enjoyed a well-made vodka martini here. The ambiance reminds me of New York - it’s narrow and intimate and cozy. I really enjoyed it. We also ordered the calamari and another appetizer I’m blanking on. Both were tasty. Prices are in line for Bellevue.

Our first time in. Drinks off the menu were great. Asked the bartender to make me something whiskey forward and it was awesome. Will definitely be coming back. I felt that the prices were spot on for what we got and the great service.

Overall loved this spot..the cocktailsappetizers were very tasty and the environment felt elegant in a fun way!! Service was excellent. Only thing I would change is the smell upon entering, can’t put my finger on what it is..maybe it was just the day I went on? ...

My wife and I had a wonderful time! We were seated immediately (8pm, Sat) and our orders were taken really quick. The menu was great, with fun twists on the classics as well as a few house originals. The food menu was great as well, traditional American fare. The drinks, food, and atmosphere were top level and we'll definitely be going again! Pro Tip: If you're not adverse to dairy, order the tater totchos, you will not regret it.

It’s in downtown Bellevue which is convenient if you live in the area. Good drink selection and kind staff. Ambiance is cozy and sultry. Recommend the Persephone’s Dream cocktail. Good place to have a lounge vibe with friends or with a partner. Good date spot for a first date. Cozy, hidden, and chill vibe. Upscale and taken care of. Recommend to any locals in Bellevue.

Lovely underground speakeasy serving amazing cocktails. We stopped by on a weekday night and it wasnt a challenge to get a seat. Loved the ambience. We ordered Civil Unrest (whisky based cocktail like an old fashioned), Kiss of a Dragon (vodka based cocktail. Do eat the strawberry with your drink to enjoy the flavors), Seasons Changing (run based cocktail) and Lish City (gin based cocktail). Apart from the Lush City we really liked all our cocktails. They were phenomenal. The Lush City was okay ish not too bad though. Service was great. They have nice cozy booths as well to be seated. All in all loved this place and will be back again for sure!

High end cocktail bar, with very interesting cocktails choices, and good selection of wines. They have good snack choices. It's at the lower level in the W Bellevue hotel. Parking is available for the mall, or one can valet the car with the hotel.

A bar up front, a speakeasy in the back. This place has an incredible atmosphere, access to a good kitchen, and amazing drinks. It may be on the expensive side, but good drinks made by experienced bartenders in a downtown area bar are worth it. I look forward to trying new drinks in the future!
