Cute speakeasy-esque spot. We went when it was all decorated for Christmas.Drinks are like $18-25 (pricey) and you can purchase the mugs too. Fun glasses / mugs and craft drinks.Large drink menu with a few food items, mostly carb based.Don't recommend coming with a large party. We were squished into the bar (party of 5) on a couch shared with a few people.

Well Gin and Tonic should never cost this much. Nor should the service charge be up to the servers. Once was enough.

What a festive spot! Came here the night before thanksgiving for the Miracle bar pop up. The only drinks on the menu are the holiday-themes cocktails. We were totally fine with that as it was our reason for coming. They had small bites/food but we only came for drinks so didn't try any food. It's completely decked out in holiday decorations. We had very attentive people taking our orders and bringing our drinks. My only note is that the drinks are expensive. Nothing under $18. But for a couple festive drinks, it was worth it to us. They are well made and tasty.

Drinks: Went for the Black Lagoon Halloween event. The drinks were ok, but ultimately overpriced and not something I would come back for. I live in the area so I realize the pricing is similar but the portion sizes were small and there was a lot of ice in our drinks. Service: Honestly our server forgot about or ignored us after we ordered our first drinks. She then forgot to put in a drink order and it took 20 min or more to flag her down. We had to order from and then check out and get our card back from another server entirely. It was fine because we weren't in a huge hurry but it definitely put a damper on things and I'm sure there were a lot of folks waiting outside in the cold while I was inside waving like a weirdo at our server. Ambiance: The ambiance is honestly why I went and why I'm giving 3 stars. All servers were in costume and the decor was cool. I loved the spooky nods in the music and overall it was more about the Halloween experience than it was about the other two. Fun to try once but wouldn't return for future halloweens. Better spooky cocktails elsewhere. But I will give it another go for the Holiday pop up.

I had a blast at Rob Roy with a friend during their Halloween pop-up event. Surprisingly, even though it was a busy Friday night, we got seated at the bar within just a few minutes of waiting in line. The place was decked out with fantastic Halloween decorations, including cobwebs all around and spooky stuff hanging from the ceiling and walls. Some of the staff even joined in on the fun, wearing cool and quirky costumes that added to the eerie atmosphere.Once we settled in, the bartender gave us a heads-up that they'd run out of a few drink options as the pop-up was ending soon. We decided to try the Night Crawler, Black Magic, and Silent Scream cocktails. The Night Crawler was essentially a lighter version of an Old Fashioned, but I'm not big on strong drinks, so it wasn't my top pick. The Silent Scream, on the other hand, was a winner in my book - it was fruity and sweet. The Black Magic was pretty good too, and what made it even cooler was when our bartender decided to serve it in a mermaid glass instead of the usual coupe glass, simply because we were excited about it. We also tried the Eye of Newt shooter, which mostly tasted like coffee but had a hint of passionfruit with each sip.All in all, we had a great time at the Halloween pop-up at Rob Roy, and the drinks just added to the fun. I'm very excited to see the next pop-up that Rob Roy has to offer.

We came to Rob Roy's "Black Lagoon" this past Friday. I loved how they decorated! It was spooky and very creepy (in a good way). They captured the look of the Black Lagoon and they nailed their presentation.Book of Blood-if you dislike beets as passionately as I do, you will taste them here. With that being said, elements of this drink were good. If the beets were not present, I would have been all over this. Death Rattle- this drink was so fun. It was served in a tiki mermaid and was very tropical. I would have preferred more lime and less orgeat to make this a little more tart and less sweet, but this was very tiki feeling. I would say for the cocktails themselves, they were decent. While there were things I would have changed, the quality was definitely there, and I enjoyed the conversation with the bartenders and the ambiance. They are absolutely worth a try!

Good ambience and vibe. I had very high expectation from the vibe and all positive reviews on yelp. However, the drinks were so bad. We could hardly finished it off. We ordered "Moon Death" and "Blueberry Hill" Blueberry Hill was seasonal and expensive. If I am paying $18 for one drink, I would expect a strong drink, however, it was super diluted and was wayyyy to sweet. I won't recommend this place at all. Was a huge bummer

Rob Roy has been the talk of the town ever since they made it to the finals of the James Bears award and I wanted to try the place ever since I got to know about that. Went there on a Saturday evening, we were a group of 6. We were seated immediately which was nice. However the drinks took forever to show up! Around 30 mins the first time and 20 the second time. The place wasn't even that crowded when we ordered the first set of drinks. We saw other tables waiting for their drinks as well.The drinks were decently priced $13-14 for majority of them which was nice. I got the harvest delight which was quite sweet but it seemed like it didn't have alcohol. I later tried Alaska which I didn't like and my friend didn't like it as well. I switched mine with my boyfriends Future Legend which was still better than mine but o couldn't finish it either. A friend got the No-groni and they didn't finish their drink as well.I'm not sure if I'll be coming back here.

Cute bar in Belltown, I came for Christmas and their pop-up bar, which was amazing! One of my favorite Christmas bars I've seen, we went a week before Christmas on a weekday night and had a small wait, but had the best time! The drinks were delicious and came in cute mugs, and the staff was awesome as well.Inside is a cozy seating area, and I'm excited to come back to see the bar non holiday themed as well!

I've been to Rob Roy on multiple occasions, for both their Halloween and Christmas pop-up bars. I love how detailed they are with their interior decorating when they're setting up for these themed bars! It really feels like the holidays came and threw up all over the inside of the bar, and I eat it up every time. The space is small, so each time I've come I've had less than ideal seating. There's a long table against the wall in the back which is usually able to accommodate my large party, but everyone has to sit on one side and face the wall, so I usually just end up standing at the other end so I can talk to my friends. Sometimes there can be a really long wait outside to get in too, especially if it's for their themed holiday bars, so be prepared to dress warmly for that. The drinks themselves are pretty good. They usually play well into the theme, arriving in a festive mug and having a silly name. It is a tiki bar, so a lot of the drinks are rum based, which can be a positive or negative thing depending on your taste.Overall, I'd probably continue coming back to celebrate the holidays. It's a good way to get into the festive spirit, and it's right down the street from Navy Strength, which also does similar themed pop-up bars. I can't say I'd be all that interested in returning for just any other regular occasion, but their holiday bars are definitely something worth going out of your way for.
