Pennyroyal Bar

Great location for a bite before the show at the Moore. Unfortunately, tonight was hectic as it took a long time for what we thought would be a quick order, two burgers. The burgers, tastes homemade, meat was moist, and season as expected. Mine was served as presented, no changes to the order. Homemade tastes, but not a Smashburger as advertised and for now, I prefer better cheese, not a fan of American cheese. I'll skip reviewing the fries, not a fries fan, but had a few bites and tastes like fries! Only issue was it took a long time for our order which the waitress requested to have one of our order comp. Super nice of her! And we understood as there is a show next door. Cute place for stay, food and hotel. Definitely would consider for overnight date night but would have to consider hotel rate.

The food was good (from Shaker & Spear); we had the halibut and pork shoulder along with happy hour PNW Oysters and Local Greens. The halibut was great and pork shoulder was tougher than expected, but overall we had a good dinner with a nice atmosphere, for a relaxing evening. The bartenders and servers were awesome.

Relaxed bar with great food options and really good hours for downtown. We were originally headed to Shaker + Spear, but they were out of seats and we were told they shared 90% of their menu with PennyRoyal, so we were able to get some comfortable seats there. We got the steak and the octopus, both were great. Service was friendly and attentive, which was appreciated. Lighting was very blue, which gives a distinct vibe but might not be for everyone. One callout is they add a 5% surcharge which is not a gratuity. Rubbed me the wrong way a bit but not enough to impact our evening, but I know there are people that really get upset about those type of things so wanted to give a heads up.

Contemporary but comfortable decor, friendly, informative staff with a large and comprehensive liquor selection and a creatively planned cocktail menu. They also serve food but we didn't end up looking at the menu, though the scent wafting in from the restaurant smelled delicious. Great place for before and/or after drinks for a show at The Moore. Bonus points: we saw Father John Misty drinking here before the Wilco show.
