Cottontail

Dirty bar with mediocre drinks at craft cocktail prices.Entrance was located in a back alley so speak-easy esque, but the interior is more divey.The table we sat at was littered with pizza toppings, perhaps from a previous patron.The specialty cocktails ($13) were made with fridge ice which is already a huge no.

Hidden Gem Alert: Cotton Tail Bar!I recently discovered Cotton Tail, and I must say, it's a hidden gem that's quickly become a favorite of mine. The drinks here are perfect - expertly crafted with just the right balance of flavors. The ambiance is everything you'd want in a bar, providing a great setting to unwind and enjoy a drink or two.What sets Cotton Tail apart is its service.If you're looking for a new spot to grab a drink, run to Cotton Tail. It's a must-visit bar in my book, and I make sure to bring every friend of mine here to share in the experience

Food isn't available after 9 or 10... bar hopping, this was my fav place. Laid back vibe. Cute x mas decorations. Service was at the bar, mostly. I enjoyed watching others drink cocktails decked with mini duckies. Cute place.

Stopped by for a drink and food on my way home from work. The interior is beautiful. Very chic, rustic, and almost hipster in a way. Very intentionally and thoughtfully decorated. There is ample seating and it has an old fashioned charm to it. The food is great (from Madam Kyra's) and the cocktails are very good too. I had the "Blood In Blood Out" cocktail which had mezcal, blood orange, and cardamom. It was top notch and, so was the service from the bartender. My guess is the bar attracts a very hipster crowd, so could be a good spot to meet new people too. But it's a great place to hang with friends or bring a date too. Definite give it a shot, you'll have a good time.

If you're looking for a cozy cocktail divy nostalgic spot than cottontail is your spot. It has the fun speakeasy vibes with being hidden in an alley in the old branchwater location. With 2nd Ave basically being torn down, cottontail was able to preserve all of the previous spots nostalgic items, like the old lava lounge and rabbit hole signs! The team weekly comes up with fun seasonal cocktails to try that will always bring a smile to your face! Also - fur kids are welcome too how great can this place get??

This is a new bar opened by the folks who opened Bathtub Gin and Rabbit Hole. It is hidden in an alleyway off of Blanchard and 3rd with mural art on the wall.You order at the bar which means it can take a while for your drink if the line is long and there is only one bartender working. They had a small menu on the board with only about five offerings which was pretty limited. I got the mad hatter mai tai ($13) which was sweeter than your typical mai tai, probably due to the orange.They have happy hour daily from 4pm-6pm which includes $12 cocktails, only a slight decrease from the ~$13 drinks otherwise. This is a unique lounge-y spot with multiple rooms to spend an evening. Also, they are dog friendly!

Popped in for some pre-dinner cocktails. We came during a holiday so the vibes were hard to decipher since we were the only ones. But they served delicious drinks with cool decor inside!

I noticed the obscure Cottontail a couple of months ago walking down 4th Avenue. A sign warned that Cottontail was arriving soon. WTF? However, it was enough to pique my interest. Initially, I found zip on the internet, but then facts came drifting in morsel by morsel. Cottontail is a new bar that took over an old spot and reopened, with its entrance on the alley between Blanchard and Bell and 3rd and 4th. That's less than a block from my place, and my presence was required. These folks also run the Rabbit Hole in Belltown, and I believe Bathtub Gin.Last night I was able to stop in, and am I glad I did. This is an eclectic watering hole, welcoming an array of humanity. It was refreshing to be amongst every possible subculture Seattle maintains. I was the oldest cat in the bar, but no one cared. Bryce, the Minot, North Dakota native was my barkeep, and he handled my annoying questions with panache. The atmosphere would be called "speakeasy," but it's just comfy and welcoming. Everyone was friendly, and I had a great time, leaving after three drinks with a big shit eating grin on my face. Despite the cold temperatures, I was toasty. The Cottontail is a unique lounge for this area in Belltown. Welcome to the hood.

Don't let the alley confuse you, this is a great chill friendly dive bar to hang with friends. Ask about the secret menu karaoke or Switch Mario Kart. Thu-Sun the kitchen is open, hand pies, French dip and cheese sticks are my go tos. If Dan is working ask about their mocktails, because it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Drinks were great! We tried the Wonderland 65, Shark Attack, Ginger Margarita, and Madhatter Mai Tai - all were great! The bartender was very chill and kind, as well as pretty efficient. The decor was cute and whimsical!Would definitely recommend for cute and unique cocktails and they were tasty and sizable portions for only $13, which is really good in this area.
