The Alley

Many bars are located around the downtown area of Seattle (including Belltown and Capitol Hill) so this one being located in West Seattle makes it not as well known, but word has gotten out of this very speakeasy vibes bar so it was still a bit busy on a Thursday night. We went around 8pm while it's still bright (Seattle summers woohoo) and it was fairly hard to find the entrance unless you did your research. Basically you have to find a door handle inside the lockers, but it's a fun adventure. It kind of reminds me of Hanky Panky bar in Mexico City where I had to enter through a restaurant kitchen to get in.The adventure is more appealing than the drinks, but the overall experience was nonetheless exciting and perfect for a date night or a special hangout with friends. We tried the Cosmopolitan, New York Sour, and Hemingway Daiquiri. All of these drinks are the classic drinks you can get anywhere, and they also do it fairly decently but it was not memorable. The ambience inside is nice - fairly spacious and relaxed from the higher ceilings even though the space is a bit small. Overall, it was a nice experience and a place that you can impress other people or a date. Word has gotten out so chances are, a good number of people will have heard of this place, but fortunately, she never heard of this place and found it a very nice adventure to get inside.

A cozy speakeasy located in West Seattle area. You have to enter through the back. The place was pretty packed when we arrived, but we're able to snag a table. The cocktails here are pretty good, and the bartenders are knowledgeable. I opted for a New York Sour and was pleased with how it tasted. This is a place I would definitely come back to when I'm in town.

look at the lockers ! It's a fun speakeasy bar. They have live jazz music on Sunday and Monday evening. The drinks were good. We got Junglr Bird, Hemingway Dauquiri, and Bee's Knees. I like Bee's Knees the most. Service was great. They are friendly and welcoming. It was a bit crowded, so be prepared for the wait.

I love speakeasies and this one lives by its name. I couldn't find it at first so me and my friend went to Matadors and enjoyed their happy hour for food. Then went back and tried locating The Alley again and got lucky. It's definitely hidden away and once you walk in it's just the cutest place. The bartender was friendly and we enjoyed talking with him and watching him make drinks for us and others. One of my new favorite bars.

This place is truly a hidden gem here in Seattle. Absolutely loved the drinks, the truffle fries, and even the live band that they have perform on the weekends.This is an amazing place for a date night. I will absolutely continue to visit here.

This place is so fun and cozy, and they make delicious off-the-menu mocktails! Good luck finding the hidden entrance :)

Speakeasy's are so fun, especially when they're hidden in a unique way. Once inside it was such a cool vibe. We went on Friday at 445pm and there was a few other groups there. We got seats at the bar and the service was terrible. The bartender didn't say so much as hi to us, didn't tell us where to find the menu, and it took like 10mins for him to take our drink order. As we were trying to leave around 545pm, the place was filled up with people standing around waiting for seats. By this time, they had a second employee running drinks and taking orders. Yet we were sitting there with our card out for probably 15mins before she came over to cash us out. The drinks were expensive pretty expensive, around $16 each, and they didn't do anything special, no embellishments, or fun presentation. Overall, finding the place and the ambiance was great but the service was terrible and the quality of the drinks was subpar for the price. I would still recommend coming here once to try it out but I would not make this a regular spot.

Love love love this place! So happy I was able to try it. I've seen it multiple times on tiktok and finally had a chance to try this gem of a speakeasy. It's definitely one of those places where you need to know what to do/ where to go in order to get inside. Hint: open the lockers when you find the place. That's all I'll say with out giving too much away. Drinks and staff were both amazing. We also tried the truffle fries which were devoured in 30 seconds. they were the perfect amount of truffle and not overwhelming. Thank you to the bartender who suggested we try the house tequila because it tasted great. Ambiance in here is your typical speakeasy vibes and set up. Lighting and decor were perfect. Great for a small group! 10/10 will be back.

Awesome experience ! Best entry for a speak easy in Seattle that we have tried so far! Prices weren't through the roof like the others either. Still great quality and a really awesome spot to bring friends for the first time ! Also just cozy night for a good date spot. Quiet , warm, and great drinks!
